The Willy Trip is an annual trip that has been organised by students in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department during the march reading week for the last 40 years or so.

 

Every year, students choose a destination somewhere in the world with interesting geology and are accompanied by Professor Anthony Williams-Jones (Willy), who shares his expertise, giving students an opportunity to learn directly in the field. The itinerary and trip planning is entirely up to students, who can cater the trip to their geological and cultural interests.

 

Previous trip destinations have included Kenya/Tanzania, Morocco, Indonesia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Namibia (and many more!).
