Young adventurers from Exmouth Community College are celebrating after completing the Ten Tors.
The annual challenge, which sees teams of youngsters navigating across Dartmoor, cooking for themselves, camping and being totally self-sufficient, saw two teams of year 10 students take on the 35-mile route, and one team of year 11 students taking on the 45-mile route.
