Meeting Point

Borough Road Centre car park. Please note that only one gate will be unlocked so be aware of vehicles leaving from the entrance gate.

Meeting Times

08.30 sharp. Arriving late will affect your chances of making the team. If you know you will be late for a legitimate reason please let Mr Cook know here.

Expectations

When you turn up for a training weekend you must be prepared.

You must have your completed route card ready for checking.

Your kit will be checked to make sure you have the correct equipment for the weekend, check what you should have here.

Don’t wake up in the morning and be put off by the weather, you need to experience a range of weather on Dartmoor – rain and poor visibility will help to improve your navigation skill and teamwork. It is more tricky when the weather is rubbish but it will make you a better team in the long run!

Return Times

Return times will vary depending on the length of the training walk, ability of the group, weather etc. Generally we will be aiming to return to Paignton by 17.30. You can text or call parents when we are on the way back to update them on times. All teams will return to BRC car park.

When you get back home

The chances are you will  be very tired when you get back home. Get a hot bath to relax your muscles and eat a good meal. Try to get an early night and make sure you are ready for school on Monday. Not turning up to school after a training weekend will put your place on the team at risk.
