Urbanists compete in the Do You Dare challenge
On Saturday the 23rd of March, The Urbanists entered two teams to complete in the Do You Dare challenge, a physical multi-activity fundraising adventure for Ty Hafan, a local charity dedicated to the support of life limited children.
The two teams were entered into different event categories; one in the challenge events & another in the elite events. All members carried out a series of grueling (and sometimes silly) activities in sub zero temperatures, including just some of the following:
- Climbing (one team member is blindfolded, the other 3 coordinate)
- Orienteering
- Canoeing ( 2 members canoe across reservoir, high 5 the other two team members and canoe back)
- Swamp Crossing (walking across a plank of wood blindfolded)
- Cycle challenge
- Mud Crawl
- Log lifting, squatting and running
- Large Tyre Flip - 80 times (Liam’s favourite!)
- Combat assault course
- 300m Sack relay (Mark’s favourite!)
The Elite team (Juan, Chris, Huw and Liam) won the event, finishing in an astonishing time of 3 hours and 33 minutes. You can view more pictures of the event on Ty Hafan's facebook page here.
We have successfully smashed our target of £300 (at over £800 and counting...)
A huge thankyou to all of our generous sponsors.
