The River Dart Country park are doing us a good deal again this year. We are waiting to hear back from them regarding breakfasts Sat & Sun and food on Saturday night.
This year will be Pirates & smugglers theme, so dust off your pirate outfits for the barrel roll finish along quayside to the Kings Arms. There are rumours that the local militia have heard about our smuggling plans and might turn up and at some point attempt to thwart our plans!!
If you know of anyone who you think might be interested in entering a team please give them a nudge!

Thanks to all the team who where out on the moor this weekend in blistering sunshine doing a recce of the route. We are now happy with the route across the moor and would consider it to be a good challenge for most and quite 'do-able' for the average person, certainly enjoyable for all.
