World Bogsnorkelling Championships, conceived 30 years ago in a Welsh pub by landlord Gordon Green, are held every August Bank Holiday at Waen Rhydd Bog. Using unconventional swimming strokes, participants swim two lengths of a 55 metre trench cut through a peat bog wearing snorkel and flippers. The world record was broken in 2014 by 33 year old Kirsty Johnson from Lightwater, Surrey, in a time of 1 min 22.56 secs. Photo credit: Graham M. Lawrence/LNP
