The Glen Nevis River Race

Clen Nevis is known as the 'outdoor

capital' of Scotland. Britain's l-righest
rrountain, Ben Nevis, rises above the
area, while the waters of the River Nevis
;lov¿ through the rocky valley belorv. The
sper:tacular scenery attracts walkers and
clirrbers all through the seasons, clespite
:he cold weather irr winter.

During the summer months, one of the most exciting activities is the annual Clen Nevis
River Race, in which competitors ra,:e for three l<ilometres along the river, but ¡ot i' a
iloat' Instead, each competitor uses a lilo, a plastic bed fillecl with air normally usercl for
carlpingorfloating in the sea, oranother kind of beach toyto race alorrgthe river.There
are rocks, waterfalls and sections with scary names like Deacl Dog póol and the Leg
3reaker for them to get through though there are areas of calmer rvaters too.

Conrpetitors set off at 30 second intervals by junrping with their lilos from a tiny shelf
rn a rock into the fast-flowing water 12 metres below. lt can tal<e anything fróm 2O
'linutes to over ttvo.hours to complete the course, depending on the level Ñ the river
anci the abilities of the comoetitor.

Ihere is much discussion amongst people who take part regularly aboLrt which ty¡re
of lilo works best for the race. Somr: prefer short wide onér, *hil" others ruy ihnt
a long narrow one is better. But since you can use anything that floats, all kinds c¡f
llear:h toys such as bananas, sharl<s ancJ crococliles can be seen floatine
cJown the
í'¡ \/e r.

The only rules are that competitors must be at least 16 years olcl, ancl
shoulcl provicje
their own crash helmet, a rubber wet suit and a life jacket" Cloves and olcl trainers
are
reccrmmended to protect against knocks and bumpt. th" most irnportant
qualification,
however, is a sense of fun.

The race is full of exciting moments, and the greatest of these is at the Lower Falls
Lea¡r, where terrified competitors hav,e to jump over a ten-metre
waterfall not far frorr
the finish. More than 3,000 athletes have taken part in the race c]uring its 3O-year
history. Their f30 entry fee helps to raise money for the mountain rerscue
team, whosr:
nrenlbers provide an essential service in the region for free. Tlre race is a popular
afternoon out for visitors and it costs nothing to watch, although any money given is
gratefully accepted,

The prizes may not be fantastic, but everyone receives a certificate of

completion arrd

it
for the satisfying feeling of reaching the end safely.

Cl¡ff Jones
In 2005, Cliff Jones began a journey round Elritain on a unicycle, a bike with only one
wheel' He had already made a documentary film about his experiences travelling round
Europe in a SO-year-old car. He was mad about motor sport and had a job building racing
car engines. To save money, Cliff rode to work in London on an old bicycle, which he
also
used to go to France on holiday. 'That trip opened my eyes,' he says. 'l decided to
do a
tour of Britain by bike.'

Cliff didn't want a normal touring bike, and l're knew he wanted to build one himself. ,The
craziest bicycle I could think of was a unicyc;le, so I went to a factory to see ho,¡y they
are
made'' After one false start in 2004, when he had to turn back because of a
knee injury,
he finally set out in 2005. He was away for four months, and
travelled over g,5OO km.

The best bit of the trip was arriving in Wales and seeing Mount
Snowdon. ,Although I met
cyclists who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes, which couldn't
I do. I never
regretted my unicycle. The further away from London I got, the more
amazed people
seemed by it.' His worst moment came when he had to drink some
dirty water from a
stream' A serious fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He
was determined
not to give up and go back home before he had completed his
challenge, but found it
hard to carry on because he felt so weak. Yet despite all this,
Cliff now says, ,lf I could
afford it, I would like to do something similar again.,
