On Sunday, 21st September 2025, the Orvis Builders team – Miles, Aaron and Robert took on the gruelling ‘Only The Brave’ mud obstacle challenge at Euston Estate in Suffolk. Originally signed up for the 6-mile route, the team showed true Orvis spirit by pushing themselves to complete the full 10-mile course. Battling through over 35 demanding obstacles, deep mud, cold water and relentless terrain, they finished the challenge together as a team.
Supporting East Anglian Air Ambulance
The team took part in the event to raise vital funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance which is a lifesaving charity that provides emergency medical support across Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. EAAA receives no regular government funding and relies entirely on public donations to operate. Each mission costs around £4,250, and the helicopters are called out to an average of eight critical incidents every day.
