This activity was developed after my attendance to a
course for Geography Secondary Teachers in Colchester in
July 2012. I received a Comenius grant for that course.
All the photos were taken by me during the time of that
course.The programme of that course included the tour of
Ipswich Waterfront, guided by Chris, and some Field
Studies at Harwich, directed by John Morley, Geography
Teacher. Out of programme, I also joined one walking tour
of the Olympic area & Lee Valley and another of the
London Docklands, both of them guided by London Blue
Badge guides. Thanks to all of them, but any remaining
errors are mine.
