Part IB—Sedbergh

The Part IB Cumbria mapping course in the Howgill Fells, a 10-day trip at the end of the Summer vacation before the start of second year, provides a first chance to learn crucial mapping and other field techniques.

Straddling the geology of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, the area features marine Lower Palaeozoic sediments and volcanics, Carboniferous deltaics and carbonates, and the spectacular Dent Fault Zone.
