No more lives torn apart,that wars will never start,
and time will heal our hearts.

Albert County Amble a Success
- Details
- Created on 20 September 2009
The Albert County Amble was a great success with most participants visiting all 8 points of interest, having climbed roughly an accumulated 700 meters of hills throughout the day and as many as 14km or more of trails and bush! The weather cooperated providing a great day for hiking with few bugs and perfect hiking temperatures. Thanks to Howard and all who helped set up and coordinate this event, and a special thanks to the cook (Bobl), who had many hungry hikers to feed (see above picture)
Albert County Amble
- Details
- Created on 17 September 2009
Come and join us for an amble through the Albert County country-side. This event is meant to be fun, build camaraderie, and test your navigational skills, common sense, and powers of deduction. We’ll even award points for various things you many find along your trek. You will be formed up into teams of 2 – 4, depending on numbers, for safety and camaraderie. Each team will have a different start point, but all teams will, if all goes well, end up at the same finish point. Maps will be provided that show elevations and other topographical details so you can follow along on paper as well as in the great outdoors.There will be other MGRS reference points given to you that are optional to visit, but bonus points will be awarded if you do visit them and correctly answer the “skill testing questions” you will find there.Albert County has rolling hills/mountains, valleys, and nice vistas due to the elevation. Much of the forest is deciduous and, thus, more open underneath, but with wonderful shade from mid-day sun.Make sure you have good boots, fly spray, and hat...your regular field kit for 6-8 hours/8-12km walk in the woods... This is not iron-man stuff, but it will be a challenge.We will provide food at the end of the day, but fell free to bring along snacks and liquid refreshments as well.

How can SAR knot be fun?

- Created on 22 June 2009
TCGSAR members were practicing knots, slope descent and slope ascent techniques in Irishtown Nature Park on June 20, 2009.
Proper technique is important, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun while learning.
