North is up...

on
I liked this article from a journal I've mentioned before UP HERE.

It's about the idea that many people think of North as being uphill, and South as going downhill...

I reckon there's a good piece of work in here to tackle with students. Read the article - as with all UP HERE pieces, it's nicely written in an engaging style...

Does North feel "up" to you ??

This is a realy interesting idea - particularly to a northerner like me. Having lived "down south" and in the NW & NE & Scotland it is fascinating as a geographer to hear people's take on this theme.

I love this too for light hearted views of a southerner relocated in northumberland.

The book by the same name is well worth a holiday read.
