Our first Ten Tors walk of the Trinity School season was a little later than usual due to the dreaded Covid but it didn’t disappoint!

It was the beginning of my 22nd year doing this and I spent a bit of time considering what the essential ingredients are for a successful first walk. It is important to give the potential team a challenge but not so much that they were put off from participating.

Here’s what I decided was needed:

  1. A willing and able staff team. Green Light Tick Mark Clip Art at Clker.com - vector clip art online, royalty free & public domain
  2. Students need to be enthusiastic and willing to learn. Green Light Tick Mark Clip Art at Clker.com - vector clip art online, royalty free & public domain
  3. Rain is bad, rainbows are good. Green Light Tick Mark Clip Art at Clker.com - vector clip art online, royalty free & public domain
  4. Organisation is key (staff and student team). Green Light Tick Mark Clip Art at Clker.com - vector clip art online, royalty free & public domain

Mostly the first walk measured up with the essential ingredients!
