For AQA GCSE geography. The resource is for The Changing UK Economy topic, in Unit 2 and is best printed out in A3. You can change the questions and the rules as it is editable to make it harder or easier. The rules are:- "Use your class notes, textbooks and/or the Internet to answer questions on your way from Lands’ End to John O’ Groats. Write the answers on a separate sheet of paper or in your notes. Once you have answered the question, colour in the corresponding area on the map. Move onto the next neighbouring area. You cannot ‘jump’ an area. However, you must visit England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland at least once on your journey. You must also use the ferry routes to travel across water." hope this helps! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
