Meander Across The MoorsIt was a strong easterly wind thatgreeted students from Woodroffe as theGeography department took the wholeof Year 9 on a walk across Dartmoor.The aim was to get a feel for the moorand allow students to consider whetherbuilding wind turbines on Dartmoor is agood idea or not. For some it was thefirst time they has touched one of thegranite tors, where as for others it wasa chance to look at the moor from theviewpoint of a Geographer. Certainlythe strong wind, ponies and overallbleakness that was present remindedus that this was a long way from Dorset!Visiting Princetown and the Old ClapperBridge at Postbridge allowed studentsto get a real feel for what Dartmoor hasto offer. I would certainly urge studentsand parents to visit the moor again soas to explore further what it has to offer.A big thank you to Year 9 for makingit a really good day out, the staff fortheir enthusiasm in leading a groupof teenagers across the moor and theweather for not raining on us! As for thewind turbines, that is for the students todecide upon.Mr Loveland, Head of Humanities
