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:
“But how do the poor minority fare? Perhaps it will be found that just in proportion as some have been placed in outward circumstances above the savage, others have been degraded below him. The luxury of one class is counterbalanced by the indigence of another. On the one side is the palace, on the other are the almshouse and “silent poor.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Successful socialism depends on the perfectibility of man. Unless all, or nearly all, men are high-minded and clear-sighted, it is bound to be a rotten failure in any but a physical sense. Even through it is altruism, socialism means materialism. You can guarantee the things of the body to every one, but you cannot guarantee the things of the spirit to every one; you can guarantee only that the opportunity to seek them shall not be denied to any one who chooses to seek them.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
