and Dan had been working hard, revising for their GCSEs. They decided
that they had earned a day off, so they went canoeing. Dan's dad gave
them a lift to Pangbourne. |
| 1 |
They
put their canoes in the river by the bridge in Pangbourne.
|
| |
Give
a 4-figure grid reference for the main part of Pangbourne village. |
| 2 |
They
started to paddle along the Thames in an easterly direction. |
| |
Give a 6-figure grid reference for the bridge. |
| 3 |
Were
they going upstream (inland) or downstream (towards the sea)?
|
| 4 |
Give
a piece of map evidence to support your answer to Question 3.
|
| 5 |
They
paddled quite quickly because they were both experienced canoers.
After a while they passed under some electricity cables. |
| |
What symbols are used to show the electricity cables and pylons? |
| 6 |
Give
a 6-figure reference for the point where they passed under
the cables. |
| 7 |
At
this point how far had they travelled from their starting
point? |

said 'I can hear rushing water ahead. I think we are getting
near to a weir.' 'I have been there before', said Dan.
'The weir was built to provide water power for a mill
to grind corn. We will have to be careful as we get near
to it.'
|
| |
According to the map symbol, what is the mill used for
now? |
| 9 |
They
paddled on, and the south bank of the river started
to become built up. Then they passed a marina with some
rather expensive boats moored there. Now they could
see two main routeways on the south bank. |
| |
What were these two routeways? |
| 10 |
Soon
the pair stopped their canoes at 675753. |
| |
What symbol is used to show the building that they
stopped at? |
| 12 |
Soon
a train arrived. They caught the train back to
Pangbourne to meet Dan's dad again. |
| |
How far was their train journey back to Pangbourne? |
