Geology
Excursions
We organise excursions
from springtime to autumn:
including day, evening
and residential excursions.
The Geology Excursion Programme features a range of events, including our core programme of day excursions and local evening excursions, led by a geologist with expert knowledge of the locality.
We hope to organise a programme of Excursions in the summer of 2021 and further details will be available here in due course.
We intend to run the Long Excursion to the Isle of Man (originally planned for May 2020) in 2022. The leaders will be David Quirk and David Burnett, and the provisional dates, to fit in with the tides, are Tuesday 10 to Monday 16 May 2022 (five days in the field plus travelling there and back).
