What a year! We had a bumper number of Guides attempting the 35 mile event and representation in both the 45 and 55 miles events.  You will have also seen the news earlier this month about the most challenging of conditions for Ten Tors for many years! It was almost called off Saturday night. So it was unsurprising that many teams did not make it to the finish in time.

In the 35 miles event, 16 Guides started the training and it finished with 11 taking part, joined by an explorer, to make up the 2 teams of 6 with the historical names of Wraxall Rangers and Yeo Vale Guides. The 2 teams comprised of Guides from  9 different units. Congratulations to the Wraxall Rangers team who completed the gruelling event and to the Yeo Vale team, all 6 of whom toughed it out to Tor 9 but ran out of time. Everyone will have learned so much about themselves,  their  team, leadership, survival skills and of course, navigation! Here are some pictures of the intrepid adventurers!

We will soon be recruiting for 2014 so if you are up for it tell your Guide Leader or contact the Somerset North Walking Adviser!
