Andrew Gibson of Create and Harriette Hobbs of Stratton Craig are joining 6000 other crazy fools to compete in Tough Guy 2009 on Sunday 26 July. Training has been rigorous to help prepare these two for such wonders as crawling under barbed wire, running through electric charged nets, wallowing in festering mud and wriggling through dark tunnels. But this isn’t in vain. The two legends are raising money for Help for Heroes, the charity for wounded servicemen and women in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. To sponsor them please go to www.justgiving.com/nettlewarriors

To see some of the carnage of previous years please visit www.toughguy.co.uk.

Photos and an update will follow next week once the pair have returned from the battlefield. We wish them all the best!
