It might seem like an extreme thing to do for mere mortals - especially in the middle of winter - but it's the kind of thing that ultra-eventer Steve Coote, and cani-crosser Len - do on a ridiculously frequent basis. To ease any confusion, Len is half ridgeback and half Steve's best mate; Steve is half endurance robot, and half Len's best mate.They are both veggie and both compete in all manner of competitions.
The trip up Snowdon was necessarily called off just shy of the summit as the blizzard conditions were literally blowing Len about, and he isn't small. In spite of being denied the summit, it was still a good day's training for both - see pic.
Amongst the upcoming events, both will be in action in caniX this season and Steve has some typically bonkers aims like the Hell on The Humber 24 where, for 24 hours straight, competitors run interminably back and forth over the Humber bridge; yes, really...
