Ten Tors Event Information for Parents

If you would like to come and see your son start the Ten Tors challenge on Saturday 10th May you will need to arrive at Okehampton Army camp by 6.30am at the latest (Map). Public parking is available just before you get to the camp and the start area is 20mins walk up through the camp out onto the moor. The start time is 7am.

Please click the map below for details of Okehampton Camp. The main parking area is near campsite B, outside the camp perimeter.

  • The area marked in blue, 'Stats', is where you can receive information about where each team has got to on their route. This information can take quite some time to filter back from the moor so do not expect instant updates. There is also a tent around the finish area which duplicates this information.
  • Blundell's 35 are on Route E (see map below)
  • To find your team at the start point you will need to find their route letter at the start area.
  • Information about team progress will be available from the Ten Tors Website over the course of the weekend. (www.events.ex.ac.uk/tentors/). The links above will take you directly to the team status page for each route.

Please note that although you will be able to work out where the teams are going to be over the weekend, it is not in keeping with the Ten Tors ethos to try and meet them on route. It is their challenge; let them achieve it on their own.

The Finish on Sunday

The main time to expect teams to finish is between 12 noon and 3 pm on Sunday. This can vary massively so you are advised to check the official Ten Tors website on Saturday night to ascertain the location of the teams you are interested in. Check points open at 6am on Sunday so most teams will generally be walking by that time.

If you do come to see your child finish the event and wish to take them home with you please tell me, so I do not think I have lost them. If you do not find me around the campsite or the finish, try calling me on 07786 657339.
