Geography work experience university

Hi,
Im really keen to study geography at university but I want to go to a top university (Oxford, Cambridge, Russell Group), so of course I would like a fruitful application. I wondered if anyone knows of any competitions, work experience etc I can enter to do with the subject.

for an undergrad programme,i think just mentioning how you can deal with students will help in your personal statement.Take the sandwich year,if you want the work experience and wanna get paid.Newcastle and UCL are quite good for geography
I'm also wondering about the same thing. But I think that it is really difficult to find a job that relates to geography...

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA)? Sounds cool! Thanks!
Also, what other things do you think I should do to build a strong CV?

Thanks! But I'm thinking about how to get into the uni, I thought that the sandwich is only for people who already get an offer. But the thing is, I haven't apply yet, just thinking about how to build a strong application to let them want me.
