The Ladies Captain at Ferndown Golf Club has kindly chosen the JTYAF as her charity of support for 2023 and has organised a Triathlon Challenge with a difference as a fundraiser.

A small team of Ladies will meet at Ferndown Golf Club on Friday 14th July and run the baton 5K to Moors Valley Country Park. Here another team will pick up the baton and take on the Go Ape Tree Top Challenge.

This is the biggest and most demanding Go Ape high ropes experience and is certain to put a few nerves to the test (especially John’s mum, Linda, who has a fear of heights). The ladies will be clambering 11m skywards and be challenged by tricky tree-to-tree crossings and five incredible zip lines – one of which includes a skateboard! Finishing with the Tarzan Swing finale, they will then pass the baton to the final team.

The last leg will be a 5-mile cycle, finishing back at Ferndown Golf Club.

Huge thanks to Julie, the Ladies Captain, for organising this unique challenge and thanks must also go to Go Ape Moors Valley for their fantastic support of this event.
