Our final stop along the Sheringham coastline to look at where the coastal management ends and the reasons for this. Ms Roger's group coastal landscapes knowledge was very impressive!

We have arrived and we mean business! Data collection here come.

We are heading to Sheringham with the remaining year 10 Geoggers. It's set to be a bit colder and there is a higher chance of rain than when we last visited. Hopefully the rain stays away!

For our second day of fieldwork we were Cromer bound. We investigated how influenced Cromer is by tourism by completing a land use survey, pedestrian counts and questionnaires. We will return back to the Nofolk coast on Sunday/Monday with the other half of our year 10 Geographers
