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.

Mon 27 Apr 2026 — Carpark tickets

Carpark tickets will be available today from 0800 at a cost of £8 for Saturday and £8 for Sunday. You can purchase passes using the following link: www.tentors.org.uk/parking

If you do not receive your ticket via email (check your spam/junk folder) please use the retrieval page before emailing the Ten Tors email address.

Spaces are limited, and once sold out, no further tickets will be issued. Please do not travel to Ten Tors without a valid car parking ticket. ANPR will be in operation, and vehicles without a ticket will be turned away.

Support vehicles attending on Thursday and/or Friday do not require a pass, but they must depart by Friday evening.

Any support vehicle remaining at Okehampton over the weekend will need a pass—covering both Saturday and Sunday if staying for the full weekend, or just Saturday if departing that day.

 

Fri 24 Apr 2026 — Dartmoor National Park Association Fire Warning

DNPA have raised the fire state from Amber to Red for this weekend, and they expect it to remain at this level until there has been a period of sustained rainfall.

While DNPA are not concerned about Ten Tors teams deliberately starting fires, they are worried about how quickly a fire could spread across the moor in the current windy conditions.

 

Thu 16 Apr 2026 — Car Park Update

Finalised Parking Plan:
Due to increased vehicle numbers and traffic issues at Ten Tors 25, the traffic management plan has been thoroughly reviewed for Ten Tors 26.

Team Parking Pass:

  • Each team receives one Parking Pass via the Team Manager dashboard.
  • This pass grants full access to the event car park and must be clearly displayed on the vehicle dashboard. 

General Sale Tickets:

  • Limited tickets available for general purchase, including limited disabled tickets (valid blue badge required and must be displayed).
  • Tickets are only sold online in advance; vehicles without a valid ticket will be turned away.
  • Tickets go on sale at 08:00 on Monday, 27th April at www.tentors.org.uk/parking.
  • Cost: £8 per day for Saturday and £8 per day for Sunday (no weekend passes).
  • Spectators attending both days must buy separate tickets for each day and display them accordingly.

Team Support Access:

  • Team support personnel and vehicles may arrive on Thursday from 06:30.
  • Those leaving on Saturday must hold a Saturday pass.
  • Those staying for the entire weekend must hold passes for both Saturday and Sunday.
  • Support vehicles not requiring parking on Saturday or Sunday do not need a vehicle pass.
  • Passes must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard at all times. 

Important:
The increased parking fee covers the cost of a professional traffic management company and an ANPR system. All general tickets require a Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) at the time of purchase. If your VRN is unknown or changes before the event, your vehicle will be directed to the vehicle check car park, where you will be required to show proof of payment.

Fri 23 Jan 2026 — Storm Ingrid warning

Storm Ingrid is forecast to bring further rainfall to the moors overnight, adding to already high water levels across the area.

Team Managers (TMs) are advised to remind teams that river crossings are likely to be difficult this weekend. Planning and group management must take current and evolving conditions into account.

ECM will be monitoring river awareness and observing activity around red Out of Bounds (OOB) river sections while deployed on the moors. Any non-compliance will be recorded and will be treated seriously given the prevailing conditions.
