Week 6: Tor-Ex 30 Mile Challenge for Charity!

Join us for the annual Tor-Ex challenge, a 30 mile hike from Torquay to Exeter and the last event of the year! It will be for charity so please get people to sponsor you to raise as much money as possible. If you do not want to walk the entire 30 miles, you may take the train back to Exeter from Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Starcross or Marsh Barton. Alternatively, feel free to join us part-way through and do whatever stretch you feel like! This week, tickets represent donations, with all proceeds going towards a charity of your (the members') choice as voted on Instagram. The Fixr fee is being waived, so what you pay is what will be donated. To donate a specific amount, feel free to combine multiples of the ticket types.
