A lot to fit in and tight on the trailer at the end of the day. Whether we use the College site or Pangfield depends on the age of the students, level of the river and possibly time available. Site A is the bridge regardless of whether you’re at Pangfield or the College. Site B at Pangfield is the Ford whereas at the College it’s the site upstream of the two. Don’t swap the groups between sites but make sure they all dip and measure (see the river shuffle). Possible at meander to measure speed across the meander using an orange and also the depth across the meander using a meter stick.
