Abstract
Let us imagine that we are located in an environment of our choice. The weather is excellent with warm balmy breezes wafting over the sun-covered landscape. Very few clouds are dotted across the sky and the surrounding environment beckons us to enter, explore and enjoy. The pressure of time is not crucial at the moment and the enthusiasm of the members in our group is matched only by the diverse sounds of bird and animal life in the nearby fields. We are ready to do geography!!
