THE NSPCC's renowned HACK (Hike Against Cruelty to Kids) is taking place for the first time in Dawlish Warren and the charity is looking for people in West Devon who want a real physical challenge to sign up to take part.

The Devon HACK is 25 miles and takes place on Sunday September 11 September. The route goes through some of the most stunning countryside in the South West of England, taking participants along the South West coastal path and the Exe Estuary into stunning forests, through historic villages such as Starcross and Holcombe and the seaside town of Dawlish. 

NSPCC community fundraising manager Alison Armer said: 'Training for the HACK is a great way to start a keep fit campaign, and is an amazing challenge and experience. The HACK will be a fabulous day out and a valuable opportunity to help the NSPCC raise money to support its projects.'

The HACK is open to people aged 18 years and over.  For further details, please log on to http://www.nspcc.org.uk/hack">www.nspcc.org.uk/hack or call 01823 346346.
