Lads and dads are being called to take part in a rugby day out for Hospiscare in 2014.

The 10k Hospiscare Men’s Walk is a great way to spend a lads’ day out alongside friends and family members, with the male bonding continuing post-walk with a pint, pasty and three Six Nations rugby matches.

The third annual Men’s Walk will once again commence from the home of the Exeter Chiefs on Saturday March 15. The walk takes in spectacular views of the City as it goes through Ludwell Valley Park before heading back to the finish line at Sandy Park.
