We had a great Team-Tracking event on Sunday at Hatfield Forest where 11 brave souls volunteered (or at least, I think they volunteered) to try and put some newly taught management skills into practice in a woodland environment.
There were a few more tools to add to the toolbox as the guys and girls learnt how to enhance their senses and, of course, they had to learn a few tracking basics. Despite the crash course they all, without exception, quickly picked up how to identify and link evidence on the woodland floor and were soon putting it into practice in a competitive scenario; proving that tracking is a fantastic media for developing many aspects of team and individual skill areas. It also shows that tracking is an easy skill to learn but it takes a life-time to master.
Unbelievably, the difference in times between the two teams (The “A” team and “TrackWise”) was a mere 30 seconds over a 45 minute track. Nail biting stuff!
Well done to everyone who came along. We hope to see them again.
Next weekend – We will be immersing 8 people in Britain’s “Last Forest” as we run our extremely popular Wilderness Immersion Course.
Can’t wait!!
