Winding course about 15 meters long marked with 4-5 cones

HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up a winding course through cones to represent an old caravan trail.

2

Each team balances a flat 'salt slab' board across both forearms, or slung with straps, at the starting line.

3

On the signal, the first player carries the slab through the winding course without dropping it, weaving between every cone in order.

4

If the slab is dropped, the player must stop, reset it, and continue from that spot rather than returning to the start.

5

Once a player finishes the course, they hand the slab off to the next teammate, who repeats the carry.

6

The first team to get every member through the full course with the slab wins the relay.
