<p><b>New page</b></p><div>> - Do you have a specific location in Beauvais that you plan on using?<br />
<br />
We're pretty flexible about location. Anything that works for you would<br />
work for us.<br />
<br />
What we need is about 2ha of woods (e.g. 20m x 100m) but in any shape or<br />
configuration. About 500m of trail of any type or description (e.g.<br />
could be game trail, developed trail, dirt trail or roadway in any<br />
combination). The 500m could be either one continuous segment or a<br />
network of interconnecting trails. Access from parking that doesn't<br />
take more than about 15 minutes on foot.<br />
<br />
The two locations that occur to me are:<br />
<br />
A/ Scotts Point<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
B/ The area west of the Homstead Group Use area. (We would not need to<br />
use the group use facilities.)<br />
<br />
We're not committed to either of these locations, if you have a better<br />
suggestion.<br />
<br />
The location would be used as separate adjacent areas "segments".<br />
Different search techniques would be practiced in each segment. Some<br />
techniques involve calling a person's name or blowing a whistle.<br />
<br />
It would not interfere with our activities if there are other people in<br />
the area. We would explain to anyone who's curious what we are doing.<br />
In fact, part of our training is interfacing with bystanders.<br />
<br />
<br />
> - How many people do you anticipate participating? (students and instructors/assistants)<br />
<br />
We currently have 9 students, with a max class size of 15. Registration<br />
closes tomorrow (Friday).<br />
<br />
There would be 4 instructors/assistants.<br />
<br />
<br />
> - How long do you anticipate this will take?<br />
<br />
One or two assistants would be figuring out which segment would be used<br />
for which search technique in the morning, probably 2-3 hours. Let's<br />
say a start time of 09:00. They would plant clues. All clues would be<br />
picked up after the exercise. In fact, as part of the exercise, we<br />
usually have students remove any additional litter they find in the area.<br />
<br />
The exercise would happen from about 12:30 to 17:00. Removal of all<br />
clues, any necessary clean up, and the last person out should be by 18:00.<br />
<br />
<br />
> - Will there be any need for OHV activity?<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
> - Will there be any shelter building or need for the cutting of vegetation?<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
> - Do you have any signage indicating that there is a training occurring?<br />
<br />
Yes, we have 3 fold-out pathway signs that say "Search and Rescue<br />
training in progress".</div>Brett Wuth
