Second homes in rural areas

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7964000/7964499.stm

An interesting article on the Today programme this morning on Radio 4 about local people being unable to afford housing in their local areas. The case study is of the village of Exford on Exmoor. Interesting comments from local people - worth listening to.

Well done 2

Excellent work everyone. Delighted that you all passed the Human NAB. There were some good answers. Keep it up now - we will finish population before the Easter hols and then just have the Biosphere - sand dunes to do. Tomorrow and on Friday we will be looking at the SCROL web site Scottish census data online - a fantastic resource for you to use - just click on the logo.

Human NAB

Can you remember where this is ?

Be prepared for Monday's Human NAB.

Two of the four human units i.e. industry, urban , rural and population will be tested plus a GMT 50 marks in total in 45 mins. Know your specific case studies and named examples ! Well done on your migration work - glad to see you were working well when I came down to see you. Population past questions to try next week to make sure you are fully prepared for the exam. I will show you a good malaria article from yesterday' s Times too.

Lovely weather for IV S fieldwork today - if only every fieldwork day was like it !

Well done !

Some good answers in your Environmental Interactions NAB today. Well done - everyone passed which is great news. We will go over them tomorrow. Do remember to always use your examples, write in full sentences and choose the features you describe carefully - choose the ones you can write most about. Your diagrams are getting better too - well drawn and some good labels - keep this up now !

Human NAB same time, same place next week ! Two down one to go.

A Lake District photo tonight.
