Mr Eastwood was from Yorkshire and taught us geography. He once caned 20 of us who were about to go into the RE class outside his room because we were noisy. Not a proper caning, just everyone had to put their hands out to get a "tap" ... all of us. Top bloke. He also did imaginary batting strokes around the class and talked about King Geoffrey. in our Lancashire classroom. The scars are still healing.

Anyhow, in gratitude to him, a very very nice example of a meandering river, whilst google mapping

Sadly no oxbow lakes.

That's some serious meandering there.

Nice story. The only two things I remember from geography lessons were glacial moraine and Mr Smith's coffee fazenda in Brazil*
