Ten Tors success 2025
On the 10th May a selected team of 6 Clifton College pupils took part in the Ten Tors 2025 Expedition alongside 2400 other competitors. The team navigated the 35-mile route K over North Dartmoor, visiting ten nominated Tors and check points in under two days. The team needed to be self-sufficient, carrying all that they needed to complete their route and stay out overnight safely.
Clifton College summited their 8th Tor at 1920hrs on the first day where they camped overnight, navigating 29.7 miles of their route with a height gain of 1387m. They were up early on Sunday morning cooking their breakfast and taking down tents ready to be first to get their Control Card stamped at 0600hrs. The team crossed the finish line at 0922hrs on the second day coming first in group K, by 2 hours 10 minutes! Over the 2 days the team covered a total of 39.6 miles and an impressive 1948m of ascent.
This 35-mile team showed great determination, resilience and teamwork throughout all the training and the event which is what Ten Tors is all about. The team was led by a focused and determined Team Leader alongside his Deputy Team Leader who expertly navigated the team to success. Undoubtedly these pupils will remember this experience for the rest of their lives!
