BBC - Extreme Wales with Richard Parks (2016) Part 1 Extreme Cycling Brecon Beacons to Snowdon

Extreme Wales with Richard Parks

Celebrating 2016, The Welsh Year of Adventure, Richard Parks, ex Welsh rugby international turned endurance athlete, is on three adrenaline-filled journeys that explore the very best of the country; what it has to offer for the keen adventurer and lovers of landscapes alike. He'll be cycling from the Brecon Beacons to the summit of Snowdon; caving in the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, the deepest cave system in the UK; and following the River Teifi, running and kayaking. Richard meets the passionate people for whom these Welsh adventures are a way of life. He's on a mission to find out not only why adventure is so important to Wales, but why Wales is so important to adventure.

Part 1 Extreme Cycling Brecon Beacons to Snowdon

Richard Parks has four grueling days of cycling from The Gap in the Brecon Beacons, to the summit of Snowdon as he attempts to create a new cycle route, the highest in Wales. Joining him for parts of his challenge are a Paralympian gold medalist, the “Godmother of Mountain Biking”, and the world downhill champion. Richard also gets up close to a creature he has long admired, the red kite (the national bird of Wales), as he powers his way to the summit of the largest mountain in the country.
