And at the bunkhouse there's an oven. I think i'll have a roast dinner for brekkie.
Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?
Ok first question, what sort of weight will everyone be carrying on this trip? I have got my pack down to about 6kg without food or water.
Well, there is a Ten Tors Challenge kit list that you will need to satisfy which may increase your pack weight a bit http://events.exeter.ac.uk/tentors/forms/FTT7-2011.htm. The main thing to remember is the emergency stuff like spare clothing, first aid kit and emergency rations, all of which add to your weight. Not to mention the full waterproofs that will be required at this time of year.
I will be pleased with a packweight of around 12Kg including food and 3 litres of water.

Just had a look through list and I have most of it covered in my usual kit so no probs there, I'm going to take about 2ltrs of water there's usually plenty around on the moors although some of its not something I would drink unless really desperate.
I noticed that GPS isn't allowed on that list, does that apply to this trip although unless it gets really foggy it shouldn't be needed although that is a fairly common occurrence on Dartmoor lol.
Don't think I'll be able to make it, any time soon. I've been on a few treks over the last couple months, and after 5-6 miles, my thigh keeps giving me jip, so in the interest of others actually being able to get a decent walk, without me slowing you down, or causing it to be cut short, I will be stepping out until further notice. I shall however keep walking when I can, to try and toughen up the ol' thighs.
Hope you have a great time of it fellas.

Take it easy and catch you another time.
Thanks Jus. Will see if I can intercept you, en-route. I'm sure there will be part of the route I can get to comfortably lol.
Really sorry to hear that Adam but at least you won't be slowing us all down again!(sorry mate, couldn't resist)
