Extreme Wales with Richard Parks: Kayaking

Richard Parks, ex Welsh rugby international turned endurance athlete, is on six adrenaline filled journeys that explore the very best of Wales and what it has to offer for the keen adventurer. Cycling from the Brecon beacons to the summit of Mt 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 which 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 also why Wales is so important to adventure.

In this episode, 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. As he does he meets the people who live on the banks of this glorious River and discovers how these waters have changed their lives.
