DEVIZES Mayor Jane Burton was among hundreds of walkers putting their best foot forward for a wide range of good causes.

Around 200 walkers and many dogs took part in the hike around the town as they took part in Devizes Lions' annual sponsored walk.

It is hoped that about £6,000 will have been raised for 24 different organisations. The charities and groups will receive cheques presented by Mrs Burton at a presentation evening on November 29.

Walk organiser Chris Gillings said: "I am especially pleased that there were twice as many walkers as last year, and the large sums raised made this annual event all the more rewarding."

The ten mile hike went up Quakers Walk into Roundway village, then up to the top of Roundway Hill and back.
