Tue 5 May 2026 — A Message from the Naval Helicopter Pilots

HORSE RIDERS

Horse riders are advised that there will be an increase in low‑flying helicopters operating around Dartmoor this week. It is often difficult for aircrew to see horse riders from the air, so please assume that if you can see a helicopter, the crew may not be able to see you.

Wearing high‑visibility clothing while riding can significantly improve your visibility to helicopter crews. Aircrew will always do their utmost to avoid riders when they are able to see them.

Riding in the vicinity of Okehampton Camp is discouraged due to ongoing helicopter operations from the site.

DRONE FLYING

The operation of drones presents a serious hazard to low‑flying helicopters. Drone flying remains prohibited over the Military Estate. If a drone operator hears an approaching helicopter, they must land their drone immediately and keep it grounded until the aircraft has passed. Any drone activity that does not comply with these rules will be reported to, and dealt with by, the police. 

Tue 5 May 2026 — Vehicle Passes

If you do not receive your ticket by email (please check your spam/junk folder), use the ticket retrieval page before contacting the Ten Tors team by email.

If your VRN has changed, or you entered it incorrectly, bring a copy of your receipt and vehicle pass with you. On arrival, you will be directed to the vehicle check area where you will be able to update your VRN.
