Nov ’11 – Great Escape Challenge recce 2

Mark — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:21:11 +0000

We’ve just returned from another productive course design recce. The terrain is fantastic with breathtaking views broken up by periods of dense woodland. The tracks and trails ideal for those new to this type of activity and great areas for some larger, more strategic team challenges.

Lots of great brainstorming threw out many more challenge ideas. Each designed to ensure 1) Every single team member involved 2) They reward those teams that really work together and communicate and 3) They’re great fun.

There’s a lot of designing left to do but here’s a quick snapshot of how the course is shaping up.
