Good evening. More than 50 teenagers direction. | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. More than 50 teenagers taking part in the annual Ten Tors | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
challenge have had to be taken off Dartmoor during difficult weather | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
conditions. The route has been changed for the first time in 30 | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
years to make it safer. Spotlight's Emma Thomasson has spent the day | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
there. They've spent months preparing for | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
this moment and you can almost taste the excitement in the air. More than | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
2000 teenagers heading off onto Dartmoor with either 35, 45 or even | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
55 miles ahead of them. It is really insane. A bit wet and windy. You get | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
used to it. It is a good challenge. And the main challenge turned out to | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
be the weather. Although the sun made a brief appearance at the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
start, wet and windy conditions meant that more than 50 teenagers | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
had to be airlifted off the moor with minor injuries. The helicopter, | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
of course, is the easiest and quickest way of doing business. We | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
have the Dartmoor mountain rescue teams who can help those who can | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
help themselves. If it's a lower`limb injury that does not need | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
an evacuation, life or limb type, then they will walk them or stretch | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
of them to the nearest vehicle. ``stretcher them. Or indeed go to | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
hospital as they need to. The route has been changed for the first time | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
in 30 years to make it safer. Walkers now do not have to cross as | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
many rivers. The checkpoints are also closer to roads to help get | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
them out if there are any problems. This has been the biggest leg. The | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
rest should be easier. From the weather, the worst of the weather | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
has been this morning, so hopefully it will start to clear up a bit. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
This has been a really hard day with all the weather but it's going all | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
right. Walking as a team, so it should be pretty good and hopefully | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
finish with a good time tomorrow. Conor was one of the first to make | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
it back today. He took part in the Jubilee Challenge, a shorter route | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
for younger people with special, physical or educational needs. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
So how was it? It was very bumpy, but overall it was very good indeed. | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
And you had, obviously, the added bonus of all of that horizontal rain | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
and wind. Yes, yes, that was extremely pleasurable. Let's hope | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
that the weather is little more kind to the teenagers still out there. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
They have to set up camp at dusk and then they can head back first thing | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
tomorrow morning. A ?1.5 million project to underpin a | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
number of houses following the collapse of a mine in a Cornish | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
village has been completed. Part of a street in Troon, near Camborne, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
fell into an underground shaft which used to supply water to residents | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
last year. The old mine adit has now been cleared and work has been | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
carried out to deal with the problems of flooding and subsidence | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
in the area. One of the main roads through Devon | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
was closed for around half an hour this afternoon after a cow escaped | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
onto the carriageway. The animal, which had come from a nearby farm, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
ran onto the A38 at Ivybridge. Traffic was stopped until the cow | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
was eventually herded down a bank. In sport, Devon event rider Mary | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
King had a disappointing ride around the influential cross country course | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
at the Badminton Horse Trials today. The newly designed course caused a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
huge number of problems. Mary and Imperial Cavalier survived this | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
scary moment through the owl hole fence, but a little further on, the | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
17`year`old horse stopped at the Mirage Pond and Mary took the | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
decision to retire. In the rugby, the Exeter Chiefs | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
brought the curtain down on their Premiership campaign with a 23`13 | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
win at the Newcastle Falcons. Gloucester's defeat at Worcester | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
means that the Chiefs finish the season in eighth. Well, it's been an | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
extremely blustery day. Let's take a look at the weather forecast now | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
with Holly. Good evening. Today has brought | :04:08. | :04:19. | |
showers and winds, we're seeing the worst of the winds at the moment. We | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
have the Met Office yellow weather warning in force for winds. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Especially on the coast and hills. Making unpleasant conditions for the | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
ten tours. Those winds are rattling through some heavy and thundery | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
showers. But they should stop the temperatures from dropping away too | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
far. So we start tomorrow with showers from the word go. Again, | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
they have been pushed through with some strong winds. Those winds not | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
quite as strong as today and gradually I think that they should | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
lose their intensity. But the heavy showers from Monday, thereafter | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
though turn dryer and brighter. Well, that's all from the Saturday | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
team here at Spotlight, the next bulletin will be 6.45pm tomorrow | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
evening with Julia Peet. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, good | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Good evening. We have seen plenty of showers scattered across the country | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
today. There will be drier and brighter spells in between. Low | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
pressure is sitting across the country, with some tightly packed | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
isobars to the south. That indicates some strong winds. They will | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
continue throughout the night, going up to gale force at times. The main | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
focus of the wettest weather across parts of West Wales is this rain. It | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
will not be a particularly cold start to Sunday. Showers, not | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
everywhere, some of us will see drier weather weather window of | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
sunshine around, but be prepared for those showers if you're stepping out | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
in the morning. Throughout the day on Sunday, a bit of an improvement | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
across parts of south-west England | :06:00. | :06:01. |
