Sadie, Eliza, Rafi and Murphy completed the Exmoor Challenge in very hot conditions; there were 136 teams taking part in the event. They were given an allocated time to reach 8 check points totalling 16 miles in 5 hours 51minutes. They also had a quiz to complete along the way, and had to carry any supplies they would need and were allowed no outside assistance during the event.
The team worked brilliantly together with a well-planned strategy to meet the check points in time while also allowing short breaks and time to check their maps.
The team finished in 3rd place, and were the only team of the day to achieve no time penalties over the whole 16 miles. This is a highly competitive event so we are very proud of their achievement.
With huge thanks to Graham and Holly for organising the entry on behalf of Braunton
Academy.
