DARE-devil fundraisers swapped traditional bonfires for fire of different kind on bonfire night, when they took on Phyllis Tuckwell’s Firewalk challenge.

Held at The Elvetham in Hartley Wintney, this toasty trial saw 25 participants walk barefoot across an 18ft long and 3ft wide fire lane of red-hot pine, ash and oak embers, which had a core temperature of 500-600°F.

The challenge was run by Time4Change (T4C), a training and events organisation which draws upon motivational psychology, neuro-linguistic programming and the martial arts to tap into inner resources of fearlessness and self-belief. 

“We would like to thank everyone who took part in this event, and all of their friends and relatives who came along to support them,” said Fiona Chapman, events fundraiser at Phyllis Tuckwell.

“Our thanks also go to The Elvetham for their continued support of our Firewalk event, and Cliff Mann from Time4Change for putting all of the participants at ease, bringing a smile to everyone’s face and guiding them all through this amazing challenge.”
