Note that rapid does not necessarily have to be interpreted as<br>
hazard. If prominent on the ground it can be one of orienting points<br>
(with bridges, settlements, intakes etc.) - to cover distance<br>
covered/remaining. We have a lot of "small rapids" which can be easily<br>
passed with no risk even with babies and they're still marked for<br>
orienting purposes.<br>
