This is a blog entry from one of my junior customers in the Plymouth store, this event goes live over the weekend of the 17th June so keep a look out for updates again.

Hi I'm Joe and along with seven of my classmates have just been picked to participate in the 2011 Junior Ten Tors (18-25miles). We attend Ermington primary school and our Ten Tors leaders will be our year 6 teacher, Mr.Mitchell (part of Dartmoor rescue) along with our P.E teacher, Mrs.West who will be bringing along her boarder terrier (Fizzy) for good luck!

So far our training has been a small trip to Widewell primary school for an introduction to first aid and orienteering. We have four more training sessions planned, the next one on the third of May, which will give us a greater insight into orienteering and map reading. Will keep you posted on how these future training sessions go!

A couple of weekends ago I went into Cotswold (Plymouth store) and got a new pair of walking boots; the Scarpa ZG65 - seem very comfy so far!

Have most of my other kit already but need to sort out meals as we are the only team in the junior TT who get to cook the meals ourselves!

Last Sunday I rode the Devon dirt (57km off road bike ride across dartmoor) which must have helped with building stamina.
