Every year we seem to have trouble with the weather on our Ten Tors event. Once again mist and drizzle shrouded Saddle Tor and Rippon Tor, but things had improved by early afternoon so that we were able to enjoy the spectacular views from Bel Tor, Honeybag Tor, Chinkwell Tor and Mel Tor for the first time!

Regrettably, a few of the older teenagers decided to challenge the Section's unspoken policy on riding across open moorland. We encourage responsible off-road cycling on bridleways, and permit it on certain other tracks or rights of way. Riding on open moorland, however, is never permitted without express permission: members who breach this rule threaten the reputation of all cyclists in the eyes of walkers and landowners. Perhaps all members could try to observe this policy whenever they are riding their cycles, either in or out of the club: it is CTC policy and a part of the Mountain-Bike code.

There was some confusion on Dr Blackalls Drive as some of the mountain bikers took a rougher track to New Bridge and some other members followed them by mistake. Congratulations are due to the following, however, for completing all ten tors this year:
