Evening Homework back at the Hotel

The students spent the day catching up on the details of their work plans. This allowed that some returned into the field for data collection and those that had enough for their work sat in groups on the hotel terrace mostly entering it into their group Mini 9’s.

Alan was much in demand for his expertise in their blogs and even more so for help with the maths in Manning’s equation. One group holding the record by asking the same question four times on dealing with the tan in a right angled triangle

The outdoor work continued through the morning with staff and students taking lunch at their tables and Ken the worst blogger of the lot trying to complete his self inflicted task. One foray took place to identify the position where the group photograph could be taken at 1800pm.

Richard had the task of taking the menu choices for the group’s end of field class meal being arranged for the same evening. Only one student failed to order so Richard kindly put them down for the local Sfakion goat stew. This meant that we could ask them how it tasted as during the week nobody had been brave enough to try it after having seen a few less than agile dead goats in the Illingas gorge.
