This weekend, 13/14 May 2006, sees the 46th Ten Tors event take place on Dartmoor in the south-west of England. Organised each year by the Army for young people, it is a test of endurance over exposed terrain and more than 2,500 are expected to set off early on Saturday morning.

With so many people out on the moor, knowing what the weather is going to do will be vital to the success of the event. And, as in previous years, the Met Office will be providing the organisers with detailed forecasts from its Operations Centre in Exeter. The forecast is also available on the Met Office and 10 Tors web sites.
