15. Section 2: Safety

16. Safety
For emergencies only you will be able to carry you phone in your bag.
The Expedition requires that you do not use a mobile phone other than in emergencies and doing so will cause you to fail the expedition section
The first person you must call in an emergency is the leader (Mr Gibbons) who will be in a minibus and can get to you.
Never call parents in an emergency – it just means the leaders have to deal with parents and the emergency rather than just the emergency – we have contact numbers and will let parents know if something has happened

17. Safety
2. You must always walk in groups of 4 or more. Anyone caught walking in smaller groups than that will not continue the expedition and parents will be asked to collect them. If someone is injured and they cannot move and there is no signal: 1 person must stay with them, 2 people must walk to the nearest checkpoint. If you have more in your group then split them evenly

18. Other info
