Ten Tors Training; 35 mile team





The 35 mile team had a long walk planned for Saturday following a typical Event route up the Western side of the moor. After a slightly gloomy start we had fantastic weather and a very picturesque water refill spot between White Tor and Sittaford. Unfortunately the conditions further North worsened and the heavy bags were taking their toll so we had to change plans last minute. Instead of our wild camp at Oke Tor we beat a retreat to Whiteworks for Sat night, awoke to a spectacular sunrise and mist-filled Fox Tor Mire, and stomped South to finish at Cadover bridge. We even managed to dry the tents out while waiting for the 55s before heading back to school!
