At the end of May, a group of intrepid Y10 and Y12 geography students boarded the Caledonian Sleeper at Euston bound for Corrour, the UK's highest and remotest railway station. Carrying all their food and possessions for the coming days on their backs, they hiked to a hostel on the shore of Loch Ossian. By immersing themselves in the landscape, climbing the hills, swimming in the Loch, reading the literature of the Highlands, and talking with the Corrour Estate management, the group built up a powerful Sense of Place that could not have provided a greater contrast (antidote?) to Kentish Town.
The trip was supported by the Royal Geographical Society.
