Note that the team with the lowest number of points wins. Time penalties are scored as minutes lost or gained, and 'Questions' is the number of correct questions answered (Maximum 16). Congratulations to ALL teams who completed the challenge - the conditions this year were good, but to walk against the clock for 16 miles in hilly moorland is not easy.

Sadly the following teams do not appear on our final listing because they missed at least one Checkpoint and therefore had not completed the challenge set. They did however walk on to the end and gain well-deserved medals.
5, 19, 20, 28, 45, 47, 50, 53, 68
*Lost property? Contact us. Also a pair of glasses found.
Notes:
a) Boys' teams are shown in BLUE, girls' teams in GREEN, and mixed teams in RED.
b) Time points are calculated from the times by which each team missed the ideal stated time between each pair of checkpoints. 'Points' is this total time in minutes.
c) 'Questions' has a maximum score of 16. These are deducted from any time penalties.
d) The perfect 'Results' score is zero!
e) Note that in order for a team to qualify, at least 3 members must reach the Finish line.

Again this year, we have had numerous comments from those based at Dulverton School those running checkpoints and acting as marshals, and members of the public walking on the moor - they all say how courteous, polite, cheerful, and well behaved all the young people were who took part. It made running the event a real pleasure. Thank you.
