Scouts take on Ten Tors challenge for 50th year

Scout groups have taken part in the famous Ten Tors challenge for the 50th year in a row.

The Gordano and Axe Scout Districts from Somerset took on the challenge, which sees teams of six young people aged between 14 and 19 participate in an unsupervised hiking challenge of 35, 45 or 55 miles across Dartmoor.

The groups first took on the challenge in 1975 and ever since more than 4,000 children from them have taken part.

This year, all 126 children participating successfully finished the challenge.
