Learning on ScreenPicnic in Siluria
- Synopsis
- On 18 May 1852, members of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club (founded in 1851) were taken on their first ever geological excursion. It rained all day. But the Club was not deterred. After an early morning train ride on the new-fangled steam railway to Kingsland and transfer by pony and trap to Aymestry, the party enjoyed breakfast at the Crown Inn at nine o’clock. They then climbed to Croft Ambrey, pausing to examine typical fossils, where the party enjoyed a picnic. This informative and entertaining DVD is a re-enhancement of that day by the current members of the Woolhope Club. The reconstruction includes a historical-geological introduction and a concluding speech by two members of the club from a quarry.
