It has become a tradition to hold a charity walk along a new dual carriageway before it opens. Interserve in conjunction with Liskeard Lions and Rotary clubs have arranged for a charity walk along the 5km route on Sunday 10th August 2008.

There was a tragic incident in the village the previous Thursday so before the walk strated we held a minutes silence in remembrance of Peter Seaman. Children from Dobwalls School started the walk by cutting the ribbon.
