To start them off with something fun to do, Crackers split them into 2 groups and gave each group a sheet of paper with instructions on it, together with some string, some tent pegs, and a compass. They went out into the garden and started off by making sure they were facing North. The instructions told them how many paces to take and in which direction.
These were the instructions for the first group: 4 paces South, 4 paces West, 4 paces North, 5 paces East, 1 pace North, 6 paces West, 1 pace South and then 1 pace East.
When they looked back, they were very surprised to see a drawing that looked just like the side view of a box with a lid on it!!
