Mon 27 Apr 2026 — Team Vehicle Passes

Team Managers – parking passes for teams will be available from Tuesday, 5 May at 09:00.

 

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

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.

We would like to remind all Ten Tors participants to remain vigilant and considerate while enjoying the beautiful moorland environment.

If you witness any anti-social behaviour on the Moor, please report it to Dartmoor National Park Rangers or directly via Dartmoor National Park’s reporting page:
https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/about-us/contact-us/reporting-an-incident

If you suspect any criminal activity, please report it to the police:

  • 999 for emergencies

  • 101 for non-emergencies

Thank you for helping to keep Dartmoor safe and enjoyable for everyone.

 

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.

 

Tue 4 Nov 2025 — Sleeping bags

Following the TT26 TMB, a review of sleeping bag costs and sizes has been conducted. It is acknowledged that a comfort limit of -2°C may not be suitable for everyone. As such, Annex B will remain unchanged, specifying a lower limit of -2°C with compliance to ISO or EN standards. All participating establishments are reminded of their responsibility to ensure that young people are warm and comfortable in their sleeping bags during winter activities. If this is not the case, additional measures, such as providing extra sleeping clothing or sleeping bag liners, should be considered.

 

Fri 24 Oct 2025 — Bellever Forest Car Park

Kindly be advised that the Bellever Forest car park will remain closed until 20th November. Alternative parking is available at Postbridge car park.

 

Sun 5 Oct 2025 — Following the Team Managers Brief

Team Managers,

9 Oct 25 - The TM Green Card and the Participant Green Card have now be updated with the additional fire information and are available on the website.

Thank you for taking the time to attend the Team Manager Briefing (TMB) yesterday at Okehampton.

Following the presentation, please find to follow:

We understand that some of you did not receive silver medals. If you require any, please email me with the number you need swhq-tentors-mailbox@mod.gov.uk

We’ve noted all the feedback regarding parking passes, and these will be reviewed so we can develop a suitable solution.

Further clarification will be provided in the coming weeks regarding sleeping bag as several of you raised concerns about money already spent on sleeping bags which you loan out to participants.

Finally, a reminder to upload your pre-planned training to the dashboard as soon as possible.

Thank you once again for your continued support and commitment.

 

Fri 3 Oct 2025 — TRAFFIC UPDATE - ROAD CLOSURE

Please be aware that Okehampton has significant roadworks taking place tomorrow.

  • The eastern approach (Exeter Road) into Okehampton from the A30, shortly after Bearton Road, will be closed.
  • Access from the east into the town centre will not be possible.

Recommended Route:

All traffic should remain on the A30 and use the Sourton slip road, entering Okehampton from the west. This will avoid delays and diversions caused by the closure.
