This year Wilts ACF has entered a 45 and 55 mile team and the training has kicked of this month with a weekend on Dartmoor. Travelling down on the Friday evening with the prospect of heavy rain and high winds, we were all prepared for a gruelling time ahead.
But with the weather improving by the Saturday morning they headed off on a 26km trek across high moorland with wet and boggy valleys. Both teams completed the route in good time and in good spirits.
Sunday saw both teams again on a shorter route this time but walking to one of the highest points on Dartmoor, Yes
Tor, 619m above sea level and looking out over all of the North Moor. The next training weekend will see both teams wild camping.
Next training day - Saturday/Sunday 24th/25th April 2010.
