The World Mountain Bike Bog Snorkeling Championships:
This unique event takes place in the famous Waen Rhydd bog on the
outskirts of Llanwrtyd Wells, where a trench has been cut,
approximately 6 feet deep and 45 yards long. Competitors have to
cycle two lengths of the bog underwater using snorkels and riding
specially prepared mountain bikes; these bikes are supplied with
the tyres filled with lead and water. Wet-suits are recommended
and you must supply your own snorkel.
