Extreme Wales with Richard Parks

Richard Parks is on a three-day, adrenaline fuelled, wet and wild coastal adventure. He'll climb, scramble, and swim the inter-tidal zones of the cliffs around the St David's Head peninsula in Pembrokeshire. He'll also be meeting up with people for whom adventure, the sea, and these special rocks are a way of life.

Richard Parks is on a self-supported, three-day mountain bike trek across Mid Wales, creating a new off-road bike route through the heart of his home country. This landscape has produced some of the top ranked cyclists in the world; Richard will be joined by a selection of them on this epic cross-country adventure.

In this episode Richard learns a new skill. By strapping a motor to his back, grappling with a parachute canopy, and mastering the throttle of a modern marvel of the skies: a paramotor. Setting to the skies of Wales, and with the Welsh weather against him, he has to find a window of opportunity to fly from South to North Wales on his first ever aerial expedition.
