Our King's Bruton teams are ready for the Ten Tors Challenge...
We wish them the best of luck walking 35 miles on Dartmoor. The Ten Tors Challenge starts and finishes at Okehampton Camp and is organised by the Army’s Headquarters South West with support from the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force as well as civilian emergency services and volunteers. The Challenge is attempted by 2,400 teenagers in 400 teams of six. The teams navigate routes of 35, 45 or 55 miles (depending on age) over the Northern half of Dartmoor, visiting ten nominated tors / check points in under two days. Teams must be self-sufficient, carrying all that they need to complete their route and stay out overnight safely.
Watch the teams on their practice expeditions. Videos filmed by the pupils.
