Brew Trail Markers
This is a trip to put up trail markers on the new winter route to the Brew Hut. The trip will be on the weekend of March 18-19, 2006
The plan is to split into teams of about 3 people. Each team will be assiged a section of trail to work on. The middle person puts up the markers. The back person stands at the previous marker to make sure the next one is clearly visible. The front person finds a good location for the next marker and makes sure the one being put up is visible from that direction. The middle person should be tall and the front person should be already familiar with the route of the trail.
Each team will need 1 hammer and a saw or clipper (for cutting small branches to make markers visible if necesary) and a stack of markers and nails.
Guidelines
- The next marker in both directions must be visible when standing beside any marker. Ideally, 2 markers would be visible in both directions
- Sudden changes of direction should be avoided to make the route easy to follow
- Don't put markers on trees that are in the way, since these trees will likely be removed at a later time.
- In the forest, spacing between markers should be about 15m to 20m.
- In meadows, spacing will be determined by sight lines and keeping a straight line should be a priority (i.e. going straight across a large meadow instead of putting markers every 20m along the edge).
