Hurdlestone Challenge

Welcome to the Hurdlestone Challenge!
Hurdlestone was started over 25 years ago by a small group of Scout & Guide Leaders in South Devon who were inspired by the Malvern Challenge.
The event starts on Friday with Saturday being the Challenge Day itself and a FunDay on Sunday with presentation of prizes. In previous years our Fun Day has included Bouncy Castles, Climbing wall, rifle shooting, tug of war and archery.
An action packed Saturday is in store for those taking part. Teams set off for the day visiting challenge ‘bases’ located around a ‘circular’ course of around 10 miles in South Devon.
The bases cover physical challenges such as an Aerial Runway, Water Challenges, Archery or Rifle Shooting, or it could be a test of your map reading. There are 13 bases in all. Each base is reached on foot across a mixture of roads and footpaths. Teams score points at each base and the team with the highest points will win the Hurdlestone Challenge Trophy.
