Can you tell us about the walk, Peter? 00:01:09,400 Well, it's an organized group walk which takes place every year on one day in October across some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. Just about anyone with normal fitness can do it. But we have lots of volunteer stewards who are posted at regular intervals along the way to offer help if needed. The walk is mainly aimed at families. We want to help people to walk with their children. It's healthy exercise, and it helps people get to know their local area better. Now, for those of your listeners who might be interested in doing the walk, it takes place this year on Sunday the twenty-seventh of October. It's eighteen miles in length, so quite long, but we ensure walkers are very well looked after. We like to involve as many people as possible, and it's getting busier every year. For most of the walk's history, we set a maximum of two hundred and twenty walkers. But this year, we've been able to expand to two hundred and eighty because we've got a total of fifty volunteers to help us. 00:02:12,800 You provide a lot of support to them. 00:02:15,440 We have to be pretty strict about arrangements, but we do what we can to help people. If someone arrives without proper clothing, we can help out from our stocks of waterproofs, for example. We don't just turn them away. The only time we do that is if people behave badly at the start. We also spend a lot of time fielding walkers' questions about safety, both before the walk and while it's going on. 00:02:41,780 Do you ever cancel the walk for very bad weather? 00:02:45,000 Yes, but it hasn't happened for several years. However, a couple of years ago, the organizers made a decision to cancel because we didn't get as many volunteers as we needed to act as stewards on the walk. The team felt really awful about it, but these things happen. 00:03:03,200 If something does go amiss, we try to inform all walkers well in advance. Now, if any of your listeners are interested in joining the walk, they should go to our website at www.tavywalk.org and give us their details. It costs four pounds fifty each to enter, and that covers a bottle of juice and a hot pie. It also helps towards maintaining the twelve staffed checkpoints at different parts on the route. About ninety percent of our walkers do complete the whole eighteen-mile route. But if you're not well or feel you can't go any further, just inform the stewards when you get to the checkpoint, and they'll organize transport to get you where you need to go. If you do complete the course, you are entitled to receive a badge. Now, unfortunately, we can't give those to you immediately on finishing. If you want one, you have to order it one week before the walk, and you'll get it by post two weeks after the walk. As long as you finish, of course. It may seem a strange system, but we found it works because only those walkers who really want a badge get one. 00:04:13,640 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty on page four. 00:04:32,100 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 00:04:52,980 What do walkers need to take with them? 00:04:55,720 Good question. When you register for the walk, we send you a booklet with all the key information. But basically, we do say that you should be properly dressed. Now, it must be emphasized that this doesn't mean that you wear thick trousers like jeans. Lighter, waterproof apparel is better. Some people like to bring their mobile phones, but there isn't always a good signal. And remember, the checkpoints are there, so you can always rely on those. Some people ask if they should bring a torch, but frankly, they're a waste of space and weight. It's a relatively gentle, straightforward walk. Another thing people ask about is refreshments. Whether you carry things like high-energy drinks is up to you. And finally, we say it's a very good idea to bring a rucksack, but what size is up to the individual. But as I say, there's full information in the walkers' booklet. 00:05:53,020 Well, thank you very much, Peter. 00:05:59,060 That's been- 00:05:59,150 That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 The walk is organised specifically for 11 The walk is organised specifically for - extremely fit people. - parents with their children. - tourists unfamiliar with the local area. **答案**：parents with their children. 原文定位：The walk is mainly aimed at families.
