Trip 3 - Haselmere

This is our third trip down the River Wey. This time we were near the source of the south branch of the River Wey. The first difference from near the start of the North Wey was that where we were on the South Wey was in the middle of some woodland. The other two places we visited were surrounded by fields with shrubbery right next to the river. The stream here also seemed more natural. It is meandering on its natural course rather than going in straight lines or being defined by a brick wall. A lamprey was found in the stream which is awesome. Lampreys are a type of fish, which instead of having jaws the have suckers, which is weird but kinda cool. Henry 1st supposedly died from eating too many lampreys, though he could have just as easily been poisoned. We also had a look at a augmented reality sand box which is awesome. Moving the sand around made the images that are projected down on to the sand change. You can create mountains and rivers and if you hovered your hand above the sand it would rain. It really help me to see how rivers are formed. I knew the theory but this helped me see it clearly.
