 | Our Team Members
also wanted to join in with the fundraising activities and chose to do a sponsored cycle
ride. They took it in turns to
cycle on a static exercise bike outside our tea room with the aim of completing
a total of at least 30 miles each day, they smashed this and completed 176 miles over the week. They raised a total of £357 which will be split between Oak Tree Farm and Our Space Adventure Playground in Newcastle. Thank you to everyone who supported us and sponsored our Team Members.

| | 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!
