Outward Bound
During the late 1960s, the Outward Bound School at Ashburton used Berry Head for cliff rescue practice. A simulated casualty and rescuer would be lowered over the cliff in a wheeled stretcher on a thick rope held by other students. This was more a test of teamwork and confidence than a serious rescue technique. The students would have been between 15 and 18 years old.

Famous quotes containing the words outward and/or bound:
“Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 16:7.
“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
