| | Not satisfied with marathons in the desert and the jungle, local businessman and good friend of the farm Austin Jarrett has tested himself to the limit in the Arctic. The Ice Ultra Marathon is a 240km footrace across the Arctic in February. As cold as minus 30 degrees centigrade, deep snow, mainly in the dark and running in snow shoes have been the main challenges for Austin this time! Well prepared by running in the desert in 2014 and in the Jungle last year Austin seemed confident, however 'there is a real risk of frost bite on some extremity' he said, which he had to be particularly careful about. Austin returned to the UK unscathed having successfully completed the gruelling race. Amazing - WELL DONE AUSTIN!

 | Local businessman and long-standing friend of the charity, Austin Jarrett, has completed another challenge. Having completed the Marathon Des Sables across the Sahara Desert last year you would think Austin would be taking it easy. Not at all, hewas determined to compete in 'Jungle Ultra', a 230km race across the Amazon jungle in Peru.
He faced 100% humidity, non stop rain and mud galore - watch out for spiders Austin!
