An inquest jury has returned a narrative verdict into the death of a teenage girl who drowned on Dartmoor.

Charlotte Shaw was training for the Ten Tors on 4 March 2007 when she fell into the fast-flowing Walla Brook and was swept away.

The 14-year-old was one of a party of 10 from Edgehill College in Bideford, now known as Kingsley School.

The Ten Tors, organised by the Army, involves teams hiking up to 55 miles (88km) across Dartmoor.
