Richard Parks: Preparing for the Challenge
In December 2010 former Wales flanker Richard Parks will start the unique 737 Challenge.
It is a 7 month expedition to climb the 7 Summits, which are the highest mountain on each of the world’s continents, and venture the last 2 degrees to the South Pole and the last degree to the Geographic North Pole. All against a 7 month clock.
As part of the process of learning how his body will respond to the extreme conditions, Richard was invited to take part in a cold water immersion test at the University of Portsmouth. See how he go on in the latest exclusive video for WRU TV.
