Richard Gets The Shivers!
4th August 2010
You can watch Richard Parks take part in cold water immersion testing at Portsmouth University in his latest video on the Welsh Rugby Union website.
Check out Immersion Testing Video – part 1 by clicking on the link below.
Richard spent 3 days at Portsmouth University in tests as preparation for the extreme temperatures he will face on the 737 Challenge. Richard will travel to the Geographic North Pole as part of the Challenge and he's preparing to potentially swim between icebergs to save time on this vital leg to allow himself more time acclimatising on Everest.
You can also view photos from the testing on Richard's facebook page; www.facebook/737challenge
