ADVENTUROUS pub-goers in a village raised more than £2,000 after taking part in a Bungee Jump challenge.
Thirty-two people took part in the charity event at The Brown Trout Pub, in Sunnybrow, near Willington.
The event organised by pub landlords Stephen Longhorn and Kenneth Longhorne gave a welcome boost to a month-long charity marathon that raised a total of £2,342.72.
The money will be shared between three local charities: The Friends of Wear Valley, which is trying to raise money for a mini bus for people with learning difficulties, the Welcome Club which helps people with learning difficulties, and Leukaemia Research.
Each charity has received £780.90 and the three cheques were presented by Deputy Leader of Wear Valley District Council Margaret Ingledew at a presentation night last week.
Mr Longhorn said: "I would like to thank the regulars and visitors for all the help and support over the past month's charity marathon."
