Manx athlete finishes 4th
A local man has ridden the backs of dragons and come out victorious.
Orran Smith has taken on one of the most difficult races in the UK and finished in the top 4.
The Dragon's Back Race saw him orienteer his way through the Welsh mountains, averaging 40 miles a day at 10,000 ft of elevation.
Runners start at Conway Castle - the most northern castle in Wales - and finish at Cardiff Castle - the most southern.
