THOUSANDS of thrill seekers have descended on The Common for an event that aims to raise vital cash for charity Children in Need, among others.

Gung-Ho!, which involves competitors tackling huge inflatable obstacles, has been taking place on Southampton Common.

One of the obstacles is The Wall, where competitors are pushed up the side and then hauled over the top by their friends.

Entrants finish the five kilometre course by running through a mountain of foam.

One of the organisers said: "It's going really well and everyone is having a great time. The weather is not too hot and there have. Even no injuries."
