Ten Tors 2018

Ten Tors 2018

After months of arduous training the teams finally completed the Ten Tors event on Dartmoor, navigating challenging routes across tough terrain carrying all the kit and equipment needed for their expedition.

The 35 mile teams both made exceptional progress all weekend. Team ‘Juliet Charlie’ were the first to finish their course at 9.05 am – one and a half hours in front of the next school on the same route. Team ‘India Delta’ finished just five minutes later at 9.10am – also the first of the teams to finish their course. Both Year 10 teams made history as the fastest ever Kingswood 35 mile teams.

The 45 mile team completed their route well within the time limit, coping well with the surprisingly warm weather conditions on the hills on Sunday.

After an unforeseen setback, Max stepped up at the last minute on Thursday evening to allow the 55 mile team to start their route. They were the quickest ever Kingswood team to finish the event at just after 11.30am - once again finishing their route as the quickest team, despite just two hours sleep on Saturday night.
