A TEAM of trainee soldiers face a major physical challenge in a North-East forest.
Fifteen squaddies, all aged 16, from the Army Foundation College at Harrogate will be competing in the Hamsterley Forest race on Sunday, October 7, to raise money for the Butterwick Children's Hospice.
Platoon commander Lloyd Murray, who is organising the team for the run, said: "The trainees are only in their fifth week of military training so taking part in a six-mile race will be a challenge for them."
Anyone able to sponsor the team can call (01904) 664413.
