This year, it would be a special episode of the annual field trip with the second years. I would get Susan to come with me as the first aider! That was fab. There had been some tense years with the School photographer, with whom I quite differ in views on women in society, and one year even worse when he stood me up. One year I had had Pete, one of the technicians, and that had been fine. But having Susan is even better!
We also had a student who has some idiosyncrasies that mean she can’t travel on the coach with the other students. That got solved by Lynda looking after the students in the coach, and me picking up her and Susan in the School vehicle. That worked out fine!
The weather forecast had been good, but it was a bit foggy. The Met Office hadn’t warned us about that. But it was atmospheric! We walked up in nice calm weather. And soon we had the students getting on with the work.

While we were there, the cloud lifted a bit. And when we walked back down, we had much wider views. And most of the students handed in their raw data right there. Two days later, I had the data in excel format from all groups as well. It looked like it had been a successful episode!
