Extreme Wales with Richard Parks

Richard has four gruelling days of cycling from the Gap in the Brecon Beacons, to the summit of Mt Snowdon, attempting to create a new cycle route, the highest in Wales. Joined for different sections of his challenge by a Paralympian Gold medalist, the godmother of mountain biking, and the world downhill champion, Richard also gets close and personal with the national bird of Wales, the red Kite.

Richard is not a fan of enclosed spaces, but deep in the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu cave system in the Brecon Beacons, he attempts to overcome his fears during a subterranean adventure like no other. oined by Gary Evans and friends from the South Wales Caving Club, he is on a two-day mission that will take him from the top entrance, to the deepest point of this, the deepest cave in the UK.

Richard explores the River Teifi. This is one of the longest Rivers wholly in Wales and also an adventure playground for some of the best paddlers in the UK. In this three-day exploration of the waterway, Richard runs through the Teifi pools in the Cambrian mountains, picks up his paddles for the first time, and tackles the largest and most technical rapids on the river at Canarth.
