TWELVE members of Bude RATS took part in last month's Torrington Christmas Caper.

The annual 9.5 mile race starts and finishes at Torrington Rugby Club, taking in a multi-terrain route on its way.

The run uses sections of the Tarka Trail, as well as local lanes, footpaths and fields.

The halfway point sees the runners travel through the old Milk Factory at Taddipor, before heading back towards Torrington along the riverbank, with obstacles such as fallen trees, knee deep water and gates to negotiate along the way.
