BEN following “Tarka Trail” for charity

The UK’s automotive industry charity BEN is inviting industry workers and their families to cycle the “Tarka Trail” – some of the route completed by the world’s most famous fictional otter in Henry Williamson’s 1927 book Tarka the Otter. Unlike Tarka, participants won’t be covering the 180-plus miles covered by the intrepid aquatic mammal, rather starting in Meeth and heading 30 miles north up to Braunton in Devon, taking approximately 4 hours including a stop.

The charity calls the route “stunning”, inviting those interested to pay a non-refundable entry fee of £10 per person or £25 for a family to secure places for your team of four. BEN is asking teams to commit to raising a minimum of £400 in sponsorship.
