Brimham Rocks

Took the kids to Brimham Rocks today, and they squirmed and wiggled their way through a really long squeeze tube. Despite several attempts I failed to follow them (I am pretending I failed because I am too big, but really I was too damn scared!!).

For those with the Yorkshire Grit Bouldering Guide, it is marked on the Dolphin Roof Boulder at Hare heads.

For those without the guide, prepare for a long walk. Park in the main car park (pay and display). Walk parallel to the road until you get to some rocks. Go up to these rocks and keep walking away from civilisation, past several outcrops, until you get to the last set of rocks. The squeeze tube is on the last rock facing away from the road and is quite hard to find. Good Hunting, be careful and dont get stuck!!

Or, alternative route, Walk up to where they sell ice cream and the toilets. Continue along the path to the left side of the Shop/office building. Continue past the druids idol (strange rock balancing on a tiny plinth). Continue along the same path for 5 mins until it opens out and turns back right towards the car park. Then look to the horizon to spot the "Mushroom Throne", walk towards that, and turn right slightly to find the large rocks. If you get to the road, then you have gone too far.

Launch of New Practical Biology for schools pages

http://www.practicalbiology.org/

Good quality, appropriate biology experiments and investigations can enhance learning and clarify aspects of theory. Practical activities are fun and motivating, and tend to be student-centred, allowing students to apply their knowledge and understanding of biology and How Science Works.

This website provides all teachers of biology with a wide range of experiments to illustrate concepts or processes, as starting-points for investigations and for enhancement activities such as club or open day events. It also enables the sharing of skills and experience of making experiments work in the classroom. There's lots of information for technicians too.

This is a new site, it appears a bit sparse at the moment, but hopefully things will be added.
