===== FACTOIDS =====
Ten Tors is an annual event organised by the British Army in which
groups of young people, between the ages of 14 and 20, trek a route of
35, 45 or 55 miles (depending on the age of the participant) across
Dartmoor. The event started in 1960 with just over 200 teenagers
taking part and has grown to include 2,400 teenagers from schools and
youth organisations, mostly from the United Kingdom. The number of
participants is capped at 2,400—400 groups of six—to minimise damage
to the environment caused by the event. Participants start from the
British Army training camp at Okehampton and are required to carry all
their supplies for the trek and spend one night in a tent on the moor.
Shaw's group, on a training expedition with dozens of other groups
ahead of the main event, was accompanied by a teacher from Edgehill
College designated the "team manager". All team managers undergo
compulsory training, run by the Army and the Dartmoor Rescue Group,
which involves trekking the route themselves.

Scores for last week are ready to go, but, due to an electrical outage
last night, I wasn't able to get into my home computer this morning.
Scores will come out later today.
