Re: Ten Tors

Thought I would let you know how he got on.
Arrived at Okehampton Army Camp on Sunday along with thousands of others to watch the teams come in. Checked our sons progress on the screens and worked out their team were going to be cutting it fine to finish by the 5pm deadline.
Sat for hours watching teams come in, tired and elated.
At 4.30 ish their team trainer ran up the hill and disappeared over the top and then in the distance we saw the team. They legged it down and through a ditch with us all shouting "Come on everyone"
They finished with 6 minutes to spare.
It was brilliant and the emotions were running so high.
We are extremely proud, 35 miles , 10 Tors, wild camping and sheer determination.
A day off school was granted today of course!!
