University begins!

My uni education began with the whole of 1st and 2nd year traveling to Tentsmuir to go and build our very own home away from home. We were split into groups of 5 (3 1st years and 2 2nd years) and we were set to the task of building some sort of structure.
the initial frame being crated and pathway being marked out
The only catch was that we had to build everything out of materials we found on the beach. My group decided that we wanted to build a gateway/pathway to the beach. We found a site where the lie of the land meant that the person would be able to walk up a slope and through an entrance/shelter where they would be able to get access to the beach and beautiful scenery.

We made our entryway out of branches, twigs and grass which we found in the nearby woods. To make it a solid structure we planted four main support logs and used lots of grass to tie it all together. We made the structure into a teepee shape with an entrance and a pathway leading up to it. It could sit two people under it quite comfortably.
