People from Abingdon are invited to walk off the excesses of the night before by taking part in the traditional New Year's Day sponsored walk on Wednesday.

The walk starts at 10am from the Long Furlong community centre, in Boulter Drive, and takes in a refreshment stop at Tall Trees, on Boar's Hill.

The event usually raises about £2,000 for relief agency Christian Aid. Call Christine Hutt on 01235 526434.
