We went to Bangor which is located in the North of Wales and is absolutely stunning. The weather was amazing the whole time we were there and so made the whole experience that much better. Everything is so green and even the houses are built quite old fashioned and you feel like your part of the Hobbit!
We visited the Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey and a few other areas I do not know the names off but each one had so much to see whether it was glacial scenery or a castle, everything was fascinating.
Obviously this trip was for University and so a lot of work had to be done. Our days began at 8am and finished at 10pm, most of this time was spent outside walking and therefore we were all knackered but knowing the pub was waiting at the end of every day did make it easier.
We were in groups for our projects (mine was about how different types of forests affect river quality) and I was very fortunate to be with two lovely ladies - Meradith and Liz. We worked really hard on our project but also had a lot of fun whilst gathering our data and our presentation came out better than I thought. So, I was really fortunate to have been with two people who were as enthusiastic as myself about the work.
Everyone on the trip was lovely and hard working which made me feel more comfortable and pushes you do more yourself. Even the staff were amazing, really helpful, up for a good laugh and didn't take things too seriously so everyone just had such an amazing time. It was great to meet people I had never met previously as well as getting to know lecturers in a different atmosphere - the pub - which just made the whole experience that more relaxing.
I highly recommend Bangor as a holiday destination as it's simply beautiful but also for any other geographers because there's just a huge amount to see in terms of physical landscape.
Thanks for reading
