Rotary Exmoor Youth Challenge
RESULTS 2017
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. A video of the 2012 event can now be viewed on-line.

The teams with the very best score was Chumleigh Friends 1 who went aroiund with perfect timing (score 0) and answered 13 out of 16 questions correctly, resulting in a total of just 3. Only one other team managed perfect timing, the Junior team Kings Hall 4. Brill! |

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.
