A CHILDREN'S charity is calling on walkers across West Devon to take part in a fundraising 25-mile hike. The NSPCC branch for Plymouth and West Devon is urging individuals, clubs and companies to participate in the Hike Against Cruelty to Kids (HACK.)

The HACK on September 27 starts and finishes in the grounds of Bicton College in East Budleigh and walkers will enjoy views of the Jurassic coastline, the River Otter, Woodbury Common and picturesque Devon villages.

Money raised will go towards the Child's Voice Appeal to help expand the Exeter-based ChildLine service which receives calls from across the South West including West Devon.

Call the NSPCC South West Appeals Team on 01823 346346 for more information.
