Patrick Foster...Tough Guy?????

Patrick Foster, Surveyor at the Severn Partnership does Tough Guy

Congratulations to Patrick Foster, Surveyor at the Severn Partnership for the successful completion (survival) of Tough Guy: the safest most dangerous event in the World. The event that takes place once a year just outside Wolverhampton involves almost 5,000 people trying to finish the 10 mile crazy obstacle course.


The start of the insanity that is Tough Guy

The course that involves, freezing cold water obstacles, electrified fences, pitch black tunnels, mud, mud and more mud has reportedly never been conquered. Patrick managed to finish the course in just under 3 hours and 40 minutes raising over £200 for charity along with his brother Tim Foster, a medical student based in London.

Patrick = Tough Guy!!!
Confined Spaces Training!!!
