Mon 12 May 2025 — Apology from Col Matt Palmer, Director Ten Tors

I want to apologise for the issues that many of you had both accessing and leaving the Ten Tors event this weekend. We got it wrong.

There were many factors that contributed to the delays, but the most significant is that this year we had more spectator vehicles than in previous years; many more than we had capacity to manage. This led to very long delays for some of you.

Whilst we couldn’t fix those issues at the time, we are already analysing what happened and how we can do better next year. I’m particularly grateful for the constructive suggestions we have had from member of the public, so please continue to add these via the post-event feedback forms.

Once again, I’m very sorry.

Tue 6 May 2025 — Fire on Dartmoor

As many of you will be aware, a major fire occurred on the north moor over the bank holiday weekend. The fire was successfully extinguished by 1500 hours yesterday.

The affected area spans approximately 12,500 acres, stretching from Fir Tor across to Little Kneeset and Cut Hill. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

This incident will not impact the upcoming Ten Tors event, although please be aware that a heightened fire risk status will be in effect during the expedition. All planned routes remain unaffected, as much of the fire occurred within a Restricted Byelaw Non-Access (RBNA) area, which is already out of bounds to participants.

Please continue planning your routes as normal.

Spectator parking must be paid for online. Cash payments will not be accepted. Please visit tentors.org.uk/parking to complete your payment.

Kindly ensure that you have your payment receipt available for inspection by the traffic management team, either in digital form on your phone or as a printed copy.
