LMS Durham Symposium
Computational methods for wave propagation in direct scattering
Organised Excursions:
- Durham Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We have arranged a guided tour of the Cathedral for the afternoon of
Thursday 18 (leaving Grey College after lunch).
- On Sunday 21 there will be an (optional) day-long coach trip
to the Roman Hadrian's wall. The coach will
first call at Steel Rigg, from where those who want can hike
along the wall to Housesteads. This should be a relatively easy
walk, but it does involve a considerable amount of ascent/descent. The
weather in N England can be cold and wet, even in July, and noone
should attempt the walk without hiking boots/shoes and warm and
waterproof clothing. More information on walking along the wall
from Steel Rigg can be found here
(the description is of a circular walk from Steel Rigg, and our route
is part of the return trip).
The coach will take everyone else to Housesteads fort, where there will be an opportunity to visit the museum. It will return to Durham via Hexham.
Local Recreation:
There are various facilities offered by Grey College and the university.
Within short walking distance one finds the University's main
sports centre, a
swimming pool and an 18 hole golf course. Grey College
has a pool table and there is a tennis court nearby.
Maps are available from the Maths
Department showing local jogging routes.
For more leisurely walks, the university Botanic Garden is very close to Grey College, and there are nice short walks into the town centre and along the river banks.
