LOVE HER WILD's Ten Tors Challenge

We are excited to announce the first ever Love Her Wild Ten Tors Challenge!

The Challenge!

The Ten Tors Challenge is a two-day expedition in which teams must visit 10 checkpoints over the wild terrain of Dartmoor. Teams must work together to plan and navigate routes between the checkpoints, camp overnight and complete the Challenge within a defined time. This is an adventure that demands careful planning, determination, endurance, skilful navigation and teamwork! It is to be completed as a team not as a race. Whether you want to relive your Ten Tors experience or are new to the concept and want an adventure, Ten Tors is an iconic team hiking challenge! Alongside the challenges, there'll be daft traditions, camaraderie and creativity!

What's involved?

On the Saturday morning you’ll arrive at our Dartmoor basecamp and meet your team. Together you will plan your route between your designated tors, undergo a kit check and briefing before the starting ceremony! You’ll need to work together as a team to navigate through the wilds of Dartmoor to reach each of your tors before setting up your tents for the night at our semi-wild basecamp (you’ll have access to a compost loo and water). On Sunday, you’ll need to organise your team to wake up, break camp, plan the day’s route then pace your walk to cross the finish line in time! Cheer on other teams crossing the finish line then celebrate together with an awards ceremony before heading home proud of your achievements! You'll be supported by leaders with 12 years experience of training Ten Tors teams who will help you be as independent as possible.
