DEVON men and women are being challenged to ditch the drink to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The charity is launching Dryathlon in September, the original fundraising campaign that invites social drinkers to take a month-long break from alcohol. Dryathletes pledge to stay dry for a month and either get sponsored or donate the money they would have spent on alcohol to the charity. Last year, 6,818 people took part in Dryathlon across the South West, raising a fantastic £451,383 to help beat cancer sooner. Alison Birkett, Cancer Research UK spokesperson for the South West, said: “After...

After noticing that there was a lack of events such as the Superhuman Games in the South West, Grant Hardwell and Paul Goff, the owners of GoHARD events, decided to bring a new sporting challenge to Devon. “We’re all about trying to be as original as possible, where we can use the terrain of the beautiful Devon countryside as the obstacle. We design our events to be challenging, but doable by the majority of people. If you can run, climb, carry and crawl – then this event is for you”.
The GoHARD Obstacle Run Series is a 3km and 6km run incorporating various obstacles, including a...

Meet Nel: a foley artist. Don't know what that is? Don't worry, not many do. Nel brings life to films through sound. In her world a tyre screech is a hot water-bottle and an epic fight scene is a symphony of snapping celery and frozen cabbages. But her real world isn't turning out so well. Her cat has died and she’s accidentally poisoned her fish.
She needs a friend and maybe a change of shoes.
An intriguing combination of on-stage foley artistry and physical theatre, Scratchworks's latest production explores how we are able to mould other people’s...

Using figures from 1-28 September, the UK as a whole has received 19.4 mm of rain, which is just 20 % of the normal amount of rainfall we'd expect for the month. Prior to this, the driest September on record was 1959 with 23.8mm.
