On the weekend of 10th – 12th May the
Ten Tors Expedition took place on Dartmoor and all three Kingswood teams made
good use of the excellent weather and visibility to complete their routes in
impressive times. The expedition started at 7am on Saturday and all three teams
finished by noon on Sunday. The expedition is the culmination of six training
weekends and represents a considerable commitment for the pupils involved . The
two Year 10 teams completed their 35 mile routes confidently -navigating
independently across Dartmoor and being entirely self-sufficient. The Sixth
Form team also completed their challenging 45 mile route and were the 2nd
fastest team on their route. Particular mention must go to Casper Bruhn-Parry
who completed the 45 mile route for the second time, having also achieved this
in Year 11 last year, and to Jack Wheaton who, as a Year 10 pupil stepping up
to the sixth form team, is the youngest Kingswood pupil to have completed the
45 mile route.
