Cabot Ten Tors

The few photos I've received are now online, enjoy!

Some of the most atrocious weather we have seen over an event weekend, short of the event being abandoned. So what did our teams do? They dug into their own self belief to find the endurance that would take them all the way to the finish line. Heroes all- including those who sacrificed their own place in order that their team would complete the event within the allotted time.

For the record all 7 teams completed (1x55; 1x 45 and 5x35) of which 4 (all 35s) finished as complete teams. Placing our drop-out rate of 10% against the overall drop-out rate of 25% puts into context just how challenging this year was for everyone.

We are sure that there will be many tales to be told at the BBQ.

Lost property

Well none actually at this stage. However if you find gear that is not yours please let us know. We will post this together with anything we find in the stores when we ring the team kit out, onto the website.

Photos

Sorry about the lack of photos, I didn't attend the event and I have yet to be sent any! There will be some available to buy from the official event photographer very soon.

Please don't forget to give us your feedback for this season.

Ten Tors 2013 is over, well done to all the teams in what I've heard were tough conditions. Photos and run down of the event should follow in a day or two.

In the mean time, if you could provide feedback on how you found it all that would be great!

After a very wet and windy night all the teams have set off to a misty start. Most of the teams have now gone through their second tor. You can track their progress online.

The routes for all the teams have been confirmed, you can view the routes and track their progress online.

The advance team left for Dartmoor early this morning to setup camp for your arrival tomorrow, by the time you get there you'll have somewhere to sleep on Friday night and the kitchen will be setup to cook you dinner and breakfast on Saturday morning.

The weather for the weekend is looking ok, fairly mild after some of the conditions you've trained in!

No rain, no snow, no strong winds. Why the shakedown hike was actually a pleasure to walk as can be seen by the smiles on everyone's faces in the photos. Well done to everyone for completing the hike. As we said, given the time available across the event weekend we calculate that you could cover about 46 miles - far more than you will need to do. Stay fit and we will see you all next Monday evening at the parents and scouts briefing. (Details shown on the event landing pages)

Lost property from Shakedown hike: 1 pair Trekmates Goretex gaiters -black

Missing from April's Dartmoor hike: 1 Peter Storm black gaiter -please check your bags and if found bring along to the parents and scouts evening briefing.
