Hi guys,
I'm the parent of JC'er, love maps etc., I cannot relate the aerial photo to anything on the OS map. Been reading maps for years and studied this one for last 30-40 mins, still can't match them up. Anyone here want to help me out with perhaps a grid ref. for the church in the centre of the aerial photo.
Hope it' s not Alzheimers for me!!

The photo was not pointing to the north, so you had to turn the map around a bit that they're pointing the same way. The river on the photo is the Corrib, and the church is just to the left of that. It actually isn't a church on the map, but a cathedral, so the sign is a bit different. We weren't allowed to take the maps with us though and I can't find it on the internet, so I can't give you a grid ref...

Same here - my priority mission was to avoid the maps at all costs.

Seriously?? Maps is a Definite question to come up every year.

I thought the geography paper was simple enough, nothing difficult in it at all really!

I thought it wuz easy enough like and might just keep it on bcos of its points gunna have to do some serious thinking aswell though cos i want to do LCVP aswell like :S]

Also i think it was a stormy sea :P

Stormy sea

I'd think hard about LC geography, so many people think its an "easy subject for points", probably because of the way the JC Geo is setup but its a big step up and marks aren't as easily got as one might think! I know a number of people who have come out of their Leaving cert. geography exam fully confident they had secured an 'A' but turned out a 'C'.
Talk to a teacher before choosing it over something else anyways

it was easy except my class never learned how to draw an aerial photograph only the OS maps so i kind freaked out about that, i did it out of pure stupidity not realising i could of picked a different question.
i went for question 2 and 3 from the second part too, anyone else do those?
i got an A in the mocks but i think i got a C in this so im pretty dissapointed..


and did anyone understand that diagram in the folder asking if it was soil creep or a land slide?.. i picked land slide but by john joe what the hell was that supposed to be? it looked like a normal piece of land first then it looked like there was a chunk out of the bottom gone and in the last box there was a rectangle stuck onto the front of it???..

lol! I thought it was clear enough! It showed the cut through section of the side of a hill. It then showed the under cutting where there was erosion due to road building or whatever and so the land above that had no support and fell, thus the landslide!
