There are currently three different Winter muster routes which are done in rotation on a three week cycle from Birchwood Community High School on Thursday evening training. Below are maps of all three routes, all of which start from the School. These routes are current at time of upload in August 2008.
There is also a risk assessment of all three routes with an MS Excel worksheet for each of the three routes, giving locations of all the hazards and distances into the muster. This information is particularly useful when the weather is bad or cold or when visibility is poor. There is information of paths that are occasionally slippy, have bollards in inconvenient places etc.
The route maps and risk assessments have some distances marked on them in both miles and kilometres. These distances were taken from Garmin Forerunner GPS data.
As well as the individual route map files, there is a MS PowerPoint file (approx 1.5mb) containing all three route maps - click here to download this. For those who would like to printout the map and risk assessment, Bill Bradley has combine them onto a single sheet for each route in PDF format. You will need Adobe Reader to do this if you do not already have it, and it is a big download - 34mb.
Many thanks to Angela & Michael Bradley who did all of this work on your behalf.
