The guns fire...

...and they're off!

 After miserable weather almost prevented the Ten Tors staff setting up basecamp on Thursday, Friday dawned clear and the warmest weather so far was forecast for the weekend event.

After struggling through the traffic the teams set off to be kit checked at Scruitineering. All got through fine and all that remained was to plan the routes for the next day.

Mr Beavington and Miss Sherratt were up super early to cook breakfast for everyone and we were all ready on the start line for 0700.

After a spectacular start with a two gun salute and fly by from the three RN helicopters the teams were off.

The team times can be found here under "Routes".

35s - Route C
45s - Route N
55s - Route W

Unfortunately the 35s and 55s both suffered from injuries, however the remaining team members were able to join with other teams and complete the event.

The 45s had an excellent event, completing their route in a superb time.
