Thousands of teenagers are starting the 63rd Ten Tors Challenge on Dartmoor.
The annual challenge, organised by the British Army’s Headquarters South West, sees teams navigate routes across the northern half of Dartmoor in under two days.
It is usually attempted by about 2,400 teenagers in 400 teams of six, with routes ranging between 35 and 55 miles (56-88km).
Up to 400 young people with special needs were taking part in the Jubilee Challenge, a one-day event across four different routes.

PHOENIX (AP) — Dave Roberts played with Barry Bonds, watching the seven-time National League MVP at the height of his powers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager has seen only one player who compares to Bonds: Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani added to his growing legend Friday night, blasting a three-run homer to cap a six-run ninth inning in the Dodgers’ improbable 14-11 comeback victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“Between him and Barry Bonds, those are the two best players I’ve ever seen,” Roberts said.
Here’s what has stood out from the latest playoff games of the second round.
After getting blown out by 43 points in Game 2, the Nuggets tapped into their mix of experience, home environment and closing prowess to beat the Thunder in overtime for a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series.
The Cubs came into this weekend series with the Mets as one of the hottest offensive teams in the National League.
Chicago is in the top three of almost every offensive category, including batting average (third), home runs (second), hits (first), runs batted in (first) and stolen bases (first), so it was going to be a challenge for Clay Holmes, Friday’s starter, to keep them in check. But that’s exactly what the veteran right-hander did, helping the Mets defeat the high-powered Cubs, 7-2.

It was a rough night for the men who will finish one-two in the MVP voting:
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 18 points on 7-of-22 shooting, plus he struggled down the stretch (but he did have 13 rebounds).
Jasson Domínguez made New York Yankees history.
In Friday night’s 10-2 win over the A’s in West Sacramento, Domínguez became the youngest player in franchise history to hit three home runs in a game, according to MLB stat guru Sarah Langs.
Domínguez is 22 years and 91 days old.
The switch-hitting Domínguez struck a solo home run off of right-handed A’s starter Osvaldo Bido in the third inning; a solo shot against left-hander Hogan Harris in the seventh; and a grand slam off of right-hander Elvis Alvarado in the eighth.
The Denver Nuggets pulled out a thrilling overtime victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Ball Arena in Denver on Friday night, but it didn’t come without controversy, trials and tribulations.
The Nuggets trailed from the opening quarter against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder as they fell behind 28-22 after one.
From there, the Nuggets began to work their team oriented magic once again as four players finished with double figure points in an effort to keep up with rising Thunder star Jalen Williams, who scored 32 points on the evening.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Angel City defender Savy King was stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital after what the team called a “medical event” during the team’s match against the Utah Royals in the National Women’s Soccer League on Friday night.
Other players were visibly shaken as trainers rushed to King’s side after she went down in the 74th minute. She was attended to for some 10 minutes before she was taken from the field on a cart.
