GPS Rescue Event

Objective

The teams are informed of an accident involving a casualty, their whereabouts unknown. It is the team’s mission to locate (somewhere within our 300 acres site) the casualty as quickly and safely as possible.

The teams are given a grid reference to input into their G.P.S personal navigation unit. On arriving at the grid reference there will be a credit card sized number which must be found and retained.

Once the teams have found their number the instructor will give you the next grid reference. There are five numbers to collect.

When you hand number 5 to your instructor you will be issued with the final grid reference for the location of the casualty.

The first team to locate the casualty wins the challenge.

All teams to return immediately to the Lodge on completion of exercise.

Each team will be accompanied by a H.A.C member of staff throughout the exercise.

Safety

The instructor will intervene only if current actions are going to pose a threat to the groups safety.

All team members must remain within 2m of each other at all times.

If one member of your team is hurt – the whole team remain at the scene and instructor organises any assistance required.

Be careful of traffic on the road.

Do not enter any areas that are yellow or red on the map.

If we find you in breach of these rules your team will be disqualified.
