Dartmoor – Wild Fires

Unfortunately we have had quite a few wild fires over the course of the last week.

On Wednesday (14 Apr) there was a large fire on Amicombe hill and DNP Rangers led to safety a team undertaking a DofE expedition who were shouting for help and stuck in the middle of it. Last night, on the south moor there was concern for 3 DofE teams who were running very late due to a large fire across Ter hill, Nakers hill, Green hill, Hand hill, Crane hill, Plym head and around Fox tor. In both of these instances all turned out safely I am glad to report.

Yesterday (20 Apr) a small fire was reportedly caused by a DofE team burning toilet paper (Police and myself have name of School) and they are investigating. The others, it is understood are potentially being started by arsonists and again Police are following up reports.

The dry spell is forecast to continue so it goes without saying to inform all Dartmoor users to remain very vigilant and take extreme care whilst undertaking any recreational activity.

TEN TORS 2010 – ESEYE

We have managed to obtain funding for the purchase of ESEYE Tracker system for all Ten Tors Team. Unfortunately due to the late funding we cannot guarantee the arrival or use of the tracker system for 2010. As a result all those who paid £25 for the use of ESEYE tracker will be refunded.

Our intention for the future use of the tracker system is as follows:

2010: If available, trackers will be issued to all 35, 45 and 55 mile teams during the Registration process together with the EMIT card, at ‘no cost’ to teams. The system will be trialled but access to tracker information will be limited to Ten Tors Control.
2011: As a condition of entry all teams will be required to use the tracking system. One tracker per team will be issued at the Ten Tors Briefing Day for use during pre-event training and during the actual Challenge. The cost of hire will be £25 per tracker.

Details of the Tracker system will be fully briefed at the next Ten Tors Briefing Day in January 2011.

Closure of Okehampton Loop Road.

Please note the contents of the Duchy of Cornwall Notice concerning the closure of the Okehampton Loop Road to vehicles. The key section is produced below:

‘From Friday 18th September 2009 civilian motor vehicles will not be permitted South of the existing MoD barrier on the East side at Observation Point 22 or South of the existing MoD barrier on the West side (grid ref 597921). Access for commoners, National Park, MoD and emergency service vehicles will be available at all times and furthermore, access will be granted to the closed sections on a case by case basis for events such as Ten Tors and the Jubilee Challenge (not training).’

In summary, there is no vehicle access past OP 22 on the east, none on the west of the Loop Road, while that on the Dinger Track continues to stop level with Row Tor.
