Description

Training walk for all who are training for the Ten Tors 35mile Challenge.

This is our “Day on Dartmoor in January” walk designed to:

• Introduce to those who have never been to Dartmoor before.  To show how quickly they can navigate and walk around part of the North Moor

•  For those who already know Dartmoor an idea of where some of the most northerly Ten Tors Challenge checkpoint are, they will visit some of these checkpoint locations.

 Start and Finish location and times are the same.

We aim to set the teams walking at 10:00 so please can you try to arrive before 0950 to allow 10 minutes before departure.

Although the advertised finish time is 16:00, they may finish as early as 15:00; so, parents must arrive by 15:00
