HENS NEED TO GET DOWN AND DIRTY:
Its one thing to jump on a Bus and do “a hop on, hop off “ bus tour around one of our major cities as a preamble to your “official” Hen Party kick off, or visit some interesting museums, or for that matter take a river tour along the river Avon, but if you really want to get down and dirty and have the best video memories of your friends Hen Party then beat a track to Wales and find the Smallest town in Great Britain, Llanwrtyd Wells, (try saying that after a few scoops of beer and a mouthful of crisps).
In Llanwrtyd Wells they have a non profit making organisation called Green Events, set up by the Local tourist Association to promote unique events within the town and the local area in order to enhance the local economy.
Green events won the “Top days out in Wales”, sponsored by the Welsh Tourist Board in 2005 and promoted the “Man versus Horse” marathon in its early days, followed by the Welsh National four day walks and the drovers Walk.
Now for the “crème de la Crème”,
Bog Snorkelling,….
Competitors have to complete two lengths of a 55 metre trench cut through a peat bog in the quickest possible time, wearing snorkels and flippers but without using any conventional swimming strokes.
“Peat Bog” visibility zero, open mouthed the swimmer has the chance of cleaning up the planet as she sucks all the bog mites in over the lip gloss.
It’s a bit like swimming in a bath of cornflakes.
There are trophies, a world title and a chance to enter the Guinness Book of Records.
There are separate sections for men and women.
This is a sport for both participants and spectators so get the Bikinis out ladies and head to Wales.
Imagine discussing that at the wedding table!!!
