Mid-June 2024 saw the 10th running of our ever-popular Scotland trip. We had a great time exploring some wonderful, world-class geological sites, but this post focuses on the wildlife we saw – and includes a bonus geology video at the end! Previous trip diaries have more photos of the geological sites if you wish to browse those.
On home ground once again, we took a group of geology enthusiasts on a tour of England & Wales. In 11 full touring days, we visited a wide variety of sites from almost all of the geologic time periods. Here are some of the best photos from the trip.
We enjoyed a return visit to Germany in October 2023 to visit world-class fossil sites and volcanic landscapes. Our group enjoyed a tour which started and ended in Frankfurt, taking in a variety of sites on the way! This is the day-by-day trip diary with a selection of the best photos.
