Exmoor Challenge

What is the Exmoor Challenge?

The Exmoor Rotary Youth Challenge is an annual event which has become very popular  over the last few years - over 100 teams of young people take part, some from over 100 miles away!

Entrants work in teams of 4 and have to follow an unmarked 16 mile cross-country route on Exmoor - so following instructions, map-reading, and compass skills are essential. There are a series of check-points along the route and each leg has to be done in a pre-determined time - points are deducted if teams arrive too early or too late, and those who get very tired and lag too much are pulled out of the challenge. Only those who successfully complete the event are presented with a medal.

Sidmouth College usually enters 3 or 4 teams and the event is open to students in any Year group, making this a fantastic taster event for younger students who are not yet able to get involved with Ten Tors. As well as the physical challenge, students learn important life skills including: team working; decision making; perseverance and determination.
