Riding The Dragon

A film following Huw Jack Brassington as he attempts to run the notorious Paddy Buckley Round - a 100 km fell running challenge. Those who are brave enough to take on the round must climb 8,000 meters over 47 of Wales' highest mountains in just 24 hours. But when a massive summer storm hits Snowdonia, Huw must push the boundaries of his strength, endurance, and determination further than he's ever done before.

Welsh poet Ifor Ap Glyn has a passionate interest in the toilet: its history and how it has evolved over the centuries, right up to the development of the current design. Here, he explains the reasons behind his fascination.

The Winter Paddy Buckley is a 100km mountain running round, climbing over 47 of Snowdonia's highest summits. Mountain runner Russell Bentley is going to try and break the overall record, solo and unsupported, which means running for over 20 hours on his own with no support from anyone. We follow Russell’s adventure as he runs over his local mountains of Eryri alone in the middle of winter. He will have to cover some of the most remote and dangerous terrain in the UK. But things don’t always go to plan, especially as he's afraid of the dark!
