We got back from Windermere last weekend, the team collected some amazing sediments in a wonderful area. Our hosts at the jetty museum were fabulous and it was a great way to spend some of my research leave.

We are currently in Bowness on Windermere building our coring rig. Hoping for some excellent sediment tomorrow!
