Zip Wire 2009. Possibly the coolest of all our challenges, would you like to zip your way across the river Tees, or will you slip off and fall in? Come on, we know you want to - get in touch with Mandy on 01642 628 930.
Firewalk Oct 2008 (full story). You walk on fire. In bare feet. What more can I say? Watch the video, then be brave and give Andy a call on 01642 628 930.
