PEOPLE are being urged to get their applications in for the Annual Abbotsway Walk in October as half of the places are already filled. The popular event, which has been running for over 40 years, is organised by the Tavistock and District Youth Network to raise money for youth activities throughout the year. At 8am on October 7, 500 walkers will set off from Buckfast Abbey and trek the 27 miles across Dartmoor to Tavistock College. Participants usually finish the walk before 6pm. The cost to enter is £4.50 and that includes a pasty and a drink. There will be lots of points on the moor where walkers can finish if they do not wish to complete the route. Organisers are especially keen for more young people to take part, particularly those who were unable to take part in Ten Tors this year because of oversubscription. For more details and an application form contact Tavistock Youth Office on 01822 613522.
