Podcasts about abf the soldiers' charity

WO2 Steve Ingle from 269 (West Riding) Battery Royal Artillery, 101 - Northumbrian Regiment Royal Artillery tells Chris Kaye about the charity fishing competition in Hull raising money for ABF - The Soldiers' Charity.

BFBS presenter Chris Kaye joined soldiers from the Infantry Training Centre & the Army Foundation College on an adventure race in North Yorkshire. On a whim the Forces Breakfast host decided to take part in Adrenalin Shock on the Aske Estate in Richmond. The demanding course is run over uneven ground with rivers to negotiate and steep inclines to ascend. The route concludes with the punishing Krypton Factor assault course which includes monkey bars, rope swings, cargo nets, and balance beams. Proceeds from the event benefit ABF - The Soldiers' Charity. Did Chris survive? #charity #ABF #adventurerace #army #Catterick #Richmond
