-Tell us what you're preparing for us

-tonight.

0:00:340:00:38

-I'm going to make a spring gateaux

-and chicken lollipops.

0:00:380:00:43

0:00:430:00:46

-May is National Walking Month.

0:01:060:01:09

0:01:140:01:19

-We'll be joined by Arwel Michael...

0:01:190:01:22

-..to ensure that we're prepared

-before going out for a walk.

0:01:220:01:26

-We're joined in the studio by the

0:01:260:01:31

-We'll chat to Alwyn about the

-special Eisteddfod that lays ahead.

0:01:320:01:37

-Welcome to Heno.

0:01:370:01:39

-There are traditions and customs

-we associate with certain months...

0:01:440:01:50

-..and May is no exception.

0:01:500:01:52

-This a month which we all welcome.

0:01:520:01:55

-Here's Gerallt with some

-of our May Day traditions.

0:01:560:01:59

-He starts his journey

-in the beautiful Conwy Valley.

0:01:590:02:03

-May is the month for growing.

0:02:060:02:09

-It's also great for

-those who enjoy trekking.

0:02:090:02:13

-It's a month which has inspired

-poets to write about its beauty.

0:02:140:02:18

-From the poems that have ever been

-written about this time of year...

0:02:180:02:23

-..is Clychau'r Gog by R Williams

-Parry still one of the most popular?

0:02:230:02:28

-I'm sure that's true.

0:02:280:02:30

-There's something about it.

0:02:300:02:34

-There's a romance to the sound.

0:02:340:02:36

-It's tuneful.

0:02:370:02:38

-Bluebells are capable of capturing

-our senses...

0:02:390:02:42

-..from the aroma to the colour.

0:02:420:02:45

-"The wild evocative perfume,

-the old intoxicating paint."

0:02:460:02:51

-R Williams Parry has captured the

-entire experience within the poem.

0:02:510:02:56

-This time of year continues to

-inspire you and many other poets.

0:02:560:03:01

-There's something about new life.

0:03:010:03:03

-Primroses have been

-incredible this year.

0:03:040:03:07

-Vast bouquets have been

-growing in the burrows.

0:03:070:03:10

-A person sees images in things

-that are familiar.

0:03:110:03:14

-"In the valley of winter's end,

-at the tip of the year."

0:03:150:03:19

-"On the banks of the estuary,

-the sun is a yellow dam."

0:03:190:03:24

-The countryside and gardens are

-worth seeing this time of year.

0:03:240:03:29

-Plas Brondanw gardens near

-Llanfrothen are among the best.

0:03:290:03:34

-This is the wettest area

-of the garden.

0:03:360:03:39

-The gold y gors or

-marsh marigold is a May flower.

0:03:390:03:43

-It's fantastic.

0:03:440:03:45

-Melyn y gors is another

-name given to the flower.

0:03:460:03:49

-People used to use this flower to

-decorate their homes for May day.

0:03:490:03:54

-On the Isle of Man, they used to

-take a handful of these flowers...

0:03:540:04:00

-..and sprinkle them on the doorstep.

0:04:000:04:03

-The reason being to keep all of

-the fairies away from the house.

0:04:030:04:09

-In Ireland,

-they have a different tradition.

0:04:090:04:13

-Children would walk around

-and take one of these flowers...

0:04:130:04:17

-..before posting it

-through the letter box.

0:04:170:04:20

-People were happy to receive these

-as a good luck gesture.

0:04:210:04:25

-A favourite English saying

-which many of us misinterpret...

0:04:280:04:34

-..is "never cast a clout

-until May is out."

0:04:340:04:38

-I think you better put this

-back on or you'll catch a cold.

0:04:380:04:42

-May isn't out yet as

-we're waiting for the hawthorn!

0:04:430:04:47

-There's confusion

-over the two white thorns.

0:04:470:04:51

-The blackthorn will

-stop flourishing soon.

0:04:510:04:55

-The true May or the hawthorn will

-begin blooming within a fortnight.

0:04:550:05:01

-Keep your coat on until then!

0:05:010:05:03

-The month of May also brings joy.

0:05:030:05:09

-May is great.

0:05:090:05:12

-The birds are singing and the

-spring flowers are blooming.

0:05:120:05:16

-People used to dance around

-the maypole in villages...

0:05:170:05:22

-..as a sign of summer celebration.

0:05:230:05:25

-In rural areas...

0:05:260:05:28

-..they would go to one

-specific area to celebrate.

0:05:280:05:32

-It was a great time

-for celebrating and fun.

0:05:320:05:35

-Why not celebrate

-the beginning of May?

0:05:360:05:38

-The month of May means a variety

-of things to different people.

0:05:400:05:44

-The gentleness of the month...

0:05:450:05:49

-..the colours of the flowers,

-the birdsong...

0:05:490:05:53

-..and the rain,

-are significant signs of May.

0:05:530:05:57

-I'd encourage everyone

-to venture out and enjoy this month.

0:05:570:06:02

-It's great to welcome the spring.

0:06:080:06:10

-Tonight, Gareth is in the kitchen

-to make some lollipops.

0:06:110:06:16

-Yes, I'm making

-a main course meal for supper.

0:06:160:06:21

-I've got some chicken legs here.

-They don't look very appetizing.

0:06:210:06:26

-The closest you may have

-come to a chicken leg...

0:06:260:06:30

-..is in a party or a buffet.

0:06:310:06:33

-These ones will be different as

-we'll transform them into lollipops.

0:06:340:06:38

-But they're cheap.

0:06:380:06:40

-You can get buy ten legs for 1.50.

0:06:400:06:45

-This is the first step.

0:06:450:06:48

-Take a sharp knife...

0:06:480:06:51

-..and slice through

-a joint in a circular motion.

0:06:510:06:56

-Then remove the skin.

0:06:560:07:00

-That's the nicest part!

0:07:000:07:02

-No. I don't like the skin.

0:07:020:07:05

-Push the meat down the leg

-to create a lollipop head.

0:07:050:07:11

-Take care whilst doing this.

0:07:120:07:15

-It'll take you a while to do it.

0:07:150:07:18

-You're removing all the veins.

0:07:180:07:21

-Use a red chopping board

-for hygiene purposes.

0:07:210:07:25

-I'm not very good with bones.

0:07:250:07:27

-After a while,

-it should resemble a lollipop.

0:07:270:07:30

-Scrape the skin off the bone

-and it should look like this.

0:07:310:07:34

-That's very clever.

0:07:350:07:37

-I'll wash my hands

-as I've been handling raw meat.

0:07:380:07:43

-Chicken meat is quite bland.

-I'll be adding plenty of flavour.

0:07:440:07:50

-I've got some thick yoghurt here.

0:07:500:07:52

-Add a tablespoon of garam masala.

0:07:530:07:57

-These spices are in our cupboards.

0:07:580:08:00

-Add a tablespoon of cinnamon.

0:08:000:08:03

-I also need a tablespoon of cumin.

0:08:040:08:07

-You could add more if you want more

-of the flavour.

0:08:070:08:11

-To add colour,

-add a heaped teaspoon of turmeric.

0:08:110:08:17

-There's plenty of spices in there.

0:08:170:08:20

-Swirl the ingredients together.

0:08:200:08:22

-The spices will thicken the yoghurt.

0:08:220:08:25

-Place the chickens in the mixture.

0:08:260:08:28

-You could prepare

-this four hours in advance.

0:08:290:08:32

-The meat will have time to marinate

-and absorb the different flavours.

0:08:330:08:38

-Mix the chicken with the yoghurt

-before placing it in the fridge.

0:08:390:08:44

-Ensure these flavours don't

-affect any food in your fridge...

0:08:450:08:51

-..by covering the bowl

-with some cling film.

0:08:510:08:55

-Leave the mix

-until it looks like this.

0:08:560:08:59

-I've lined a baking tray

-with a piece of greaseproof paper.

0:08:590:09:05

-The yoghurt will protect the chicken

-during the cooking process.

0:09:050:09:11

-The yoghurt is quite healthy too.

0:09:120:09:14

-Yes, it's a healthy meal...

0:09:150:09:18

-..and the yoghurt

-will make the meat tender.

0:09:180:09:22

-Place these in the oven at 180

-degrees Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit.

0:09:230:09:29

-The time needed to cook will depend

-on the size of the chicken legs.

0:09:290:09:35

-These should take around

-30 minutes to cook through.

0:09:350:09:39

-Here are some I prepared earlier.

0:09:390:09:41

-They look much better

-after they've been cooked.

0:09:410:09:45

-Next, you'll need a wok

-or deep saucepan.

0:09:450:09:50

-I'm using a teaspoon

-of sunflower oil...

0:09:500:09:53

-..and a knob of butter

-to add flavour.

0:09:540:09:59

-The oil will stop the butter

-from burning.

0:09:590:10:03

-Why are you using this oil

-as opposed to olive oil?

0:10:030:10:07

-It won't fill the kitchen

-with too much smoke.

0:10:070:10:11

-It has a higher smoke point.

0:10:110:10:14

-It has a higher smoke point.

-

-That's very interesting.

0:10:140:10:16

-Next, I'm making spiral vegetables.

0:10:160:10:19

-The spiralizer is one of my

-favourite kitchen gadgets.

0:10:190:10:23

-Squeeze the courgette

-through the gadget...

0:10:230:10:27

-..to create spirals

-that resemble spaghetti.

0:10:270:10:31

-This is great to help get the

-children involved in the kitchen.

0:10:310:10:35

-It's a very simple process

-if you already own the gadget.

0:10:360:10:39

-You could grate the courgettes

-and carrots instead.

0:10:400:10:45

-The carrots add colour and vitamins.

0:10:450:10:48

-You need to use your muscles

-to use this machine.

0:10:480:10:51

-This meal will be

-a feast for the eyes.

0:10:520:10:54

-It's a very visual meal.

0:10:540:10:56

-Is there anything coming out?

0:10:560:10:58

-Yes, it's getting there.

0:10:590:11:02

-You have to turn the handle quickly.

0:11:020:11:05

-Add the carrots to the pan.

0:11:050:11:07

-It looks lovely.

0:11:070:11:09

-Mix the ingredients to ensure

-that they're cooked very quickly.

0:11:100:11:14

-This will help the ingredients

-retain their flavour.

0:11:140:11:18

-You don't want crispy vegetables

-but they should be cooked.

0:11:180:11:22

-Vegetables tend to become very limp

-if they're overcooked.

0:11:220:11:26

-Do you own a spiralizer?

0:11:260:11:28

-No, but I'd like one as they're

-a great way to introduce vegetables.

0:11:280:11:33

-The vegetables have been cooked

-quickly to be served with the meat.

0:11:330:11:38

-I'm also going to make a dip

-to go in this pot.

0:11:390:11:42

-You'll need thick yoghurt.

0:11:430:11:45

-I'm also using lime juice to cut

-through the richness of the meat.

0:11:450:11:50

-Add some mint and cucumber too.

0:11:500:11:55

-A dip can transform a meal.

0:11:550:11:59

-This is similar to a dip that's

-served in Indian restaurants...

0:11:590:12:03

-..the raita dip.

0:12:040:12:06

-I'm not adding much flavour

-to the dip...

0:12:060:12:11

-..as it's all about texture.

0:12:110:12:13

-This is a very fresh meal...

0:12:140:12:17

-..but it's very quick to prepare.

0:12:170:12:20

-It's very healthy.

0:12:200:12:21

-It's very healthy.

-

-It's cheap to make too.

0:12:210:12:23

-You could prepare the dip beforehand

-and store it in the fridge.

0:12:230:12:28

-To serve, place the meat

-on the bed of vegetables.

0:12:280:12:31

-This is perfect finger food.

0:12:310:12:33

-That's a big portion!

0:12:340:12:36

-You can garnish the dish

-with watercress leaves...

0:12:360:12:39

-..that are full of iron,

-vitamin C and calcium.

0:12:390:12:43

-This is ready for you to sample.

0:12:430:12:45

-Pass it over, Gareth.

0:12:460:12:48

-It looks lovely.

0:12:480:12:50

-I'm not going to use a fork.

0:12:500:12:53

-I'm going to try the vegetables.

0:12:530:12:55

-The dip cools the mouth

-after the spices.

0:12:550:12:58

-It's a simple dish to eat and enjoy.

0:12:580:13:02

-You'll return later to make pudding.

0:13:020:13:04

-You'll return later to make pudding.

-

-I'll be making a spring gateaux.

0:13:040:13:07

-Llinos can't wait!

0:13:070:13:09

-After the break, we'll chat

-to the conductor, Alwyn Humphreys.

0:13:100:13:15

-I'll take you to the luxury

-Cathedral 73 Hotel in Cardiff.

0:13:150:13:20

-The hotel is currently for sale and

-it could be yours for 1.5 million.

0:13:200:13:26

-See you in a few minutes.

0:13:260:13:28

-Welcome back.

0:13:410:13:43

-Tonight, we're joined by

-the conductor, Alwyn Humphreys.

0:13:440:13:48

-It's great to have your company.

0:13:480:13:50

-You're here to discuss the National

-Eisteddfod Cymanfa's birthday.

0:13:500:13:56

-The Cymanfa Ganu will take place

-at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod.

0:13:560:14:01

-We'll celebrate 100 years since the

-first official Eisteddfod Cymanfa.

0:14:010:14:07

-There were other unofficial Cymanfas

-in the pavilion before then too.

0:14:070:14:12

-They were hosted by

-different denominations each year.

0:14:120:14:16

-David Lloyd George was the

-Secretary of State for War in 1916.

0:14:160:14:20

-It was during World War I...

0:14:200:14:22

-..and the Battle of the Somme

-was very clear in people's minds.

0:14:220:14:28

-Some 650,000 British soldiers

-had been killed in the battle.

0:14:280:14:34

-The battle of Mametz Wood was also

-part of the Battle of the Somme.

0:14:340:14:40

-Around 4,000 Welsh soldiers

-were killed in that battle.

0:14:400:14:45

-They did win the battle

-but the losses were enormous.

0:14:450:14:50

-Some opposed the Cymanfa Ganu...

0:14:500:14:55

-..as it was such a terrible time.

0:14:550:14:57

-However, David Lloyd George...

0:14:570:15:00

-..believed that it was the best way

-to cope with the losses.

0:15:000:15:04

-He thought a Cymanfa Ganu

-would raise the nation's spirits.

0:15:040:15:08

-I have a photocopy of the Cymanfa

-that was held in Aberystwyth.

0:15:080:15:14

-It took place on Friday

-18 August, 1916.

0:15:140:15:17

-If someone has an original copy...

0:15:180:15:21

-..I'd like to show it

-at the Cymanfa.

0:15:210:15:25

-In this photocopy, we can see

-that there were three meetings...

0:15:250:15:29

-..at 10.00am, 2.00pm and 6.00pm and

-each Cymanfa lasted for two hours.

0:15:290:15:35

-There were 58 hymns,

-three anthems...

0:15:350:15:38

-..and 6,000 people present

-in the pavilion.

0:15:390:15:44

-It was a beautiful day so another

-5,000 people stood outside.

0:15:450:15:51

-They removed the sides of the

-pavilion so everyone could see.

0:15:510:15:57

-Musical judges from universities in

-England were present at the event.

0:15:570:16:03

-They were amazed at

-how many people could join forces...

0:16:030:16:08

-..and sing at such a high standard

-without any rehearsals.

0:16:080:16:12

-That is what's so special

-about the people of Wales.

0:16:130:16:16

-We all enjoy a Cymanfa Ganu.

0:16:170:16:19

-Have you chosen the same hymns

-that were performed 100 years ago?

0:16:190:16:24

-Some of the original hymns

-have been included.

0:16:250:16:29

-One of them is Aberystwyth

-by Joseph Parry.

0:16:290:16:33

-It's thought that the Welsh soldiers

-sang the hymn when they were at war.

0:16:330:16:39

-It must have been very emotional.

0:16:400:16:42

-The foreword in the

-original Cymanfa programme...

0:16:420:16:48

-..mentions that they chose the hymns

-for three reasons.

0:16:480:16:52

-They wanted Welsh melodies...

0:16:530:16:55

-..that were originally folk tunes

-that had been turned into hymns.

0:16:550:17:01

-They also chose hymns by some

-of Wales' uneducated composers.

0:17:010:17:07

-There were also hymns

-by prominent composers...

0:17:070:17:12

-..like Joseph Parry

-and Ambrose Lloyd.

0:17:130:17:16

-We'll include

-some of those original hymns...

0:17:160:17:19

-..and choose hymns that will

-represent the decades since 1916.

0:17:200:17:25

-We have a hymn from 1916 to 1926...

0:17:260:17:29

-..another from 1926 to 1936

-and so forth.

0:17:290:17:32

-It's a great idea.

0:17:320:17:34

-It will be a reflection of

-Welsh hymns over the past 100 years.

0:17:340:17:38

-You'll be joined

-by a very special brass band.

0:17:390:17:42

-I've conducted the Cymanfa

-on two previous occasions.

0:17:420:17:46

-My last Cymanfa was in Ebbw Vale...

0:17:470:17:49

-..and I managed to persuade them

-to get a brass band involved.

0:17:490:17:53

-The Tredegar Brass Band

-was right on the doorstep.

0:17:530:17:58

-They're currently

-Wales' best band...

0:17:580:18:00

-..after winning the most recent

-championship in Swansea.

0:18:010:18:04

-Last week, I attended one of their

-rehearsals and they were fantastic.

0:18:050:18:09

-They listen to everything

-you want them to do.

0:18:100:18:13

-They're incredible.

0:18:130:18:15

-The organist will be Rob Nicholls.

0:18:150:18:18

-He's one of the best

-and a very good conductor too.

0:18:180:18:22

-We'll welcome the Eisteddfod choir

-to the stage to perform two pieces.

0:18:220:18:27

-There's one piece by Karl Jenkins...

0:18:270:18:30

-..and an American piece that's

-fairly unknown in this country.

0:18:300:18:34

-However, I believe it will be

-a great hit after the Cymanfa.

0:18:350:18:38

-The Cymanfa is held on the

-first Sunday of the Eisteddfod.

0:18:390:18:42

-Traditionally, it was held

-at the end of the Eisteddfod.

0:18:430:18:46

-However, it's now held at the start

-as people tend to go home early.

0:18:470:18:51

-It will be held on the first Sunday.

0:18:510:18:54

-We'll chat more later, Alwyn.

0:18:540:18:56

-As you know,

-when I'm not in the studio...

0:18:570:19:00

-..I like to visit establishments

-that offer a five star service.

0:19:000:19:06

-When I heard that a hotel in Cardiff

-was for sale at 1.5 million...

0:19:060:19:12

-..I had to go and see

-what it was all about!

0:19:120:19:18

-A stone's throw from Cardiff city

-centre is the Cathedral 73 hotel.

0:19:210:19:27

-If you don't know the

-whereabouts of the hotel...

0:19:270:19:30

-..keep a lookout for Mrs Eva

-Bramley, the big yellow Rolls-Royce.

0:19:310:19:36

-The hotel is currently for sale...

0:19:360:19:39

-..which gives us the ideal

-opportunity to look around.

0:19:400:19:43

-The building was once

-a cafe for local workers...

0:19:450:19:48

-..before Nigel John transformed

-it into a boutique hotel.

0:19:490:19:53

-It has a bar, restaurant, function

-room, six bedrooms, two flats...

0:19:530:19:58

-..and a cottage in the garden.

0:19:580:20:00

-The hotel has welcomed celebrities

-including Alex Jones, Ed Sheeran...

0:20:010:20:06

-..the cast and crew of American

-drama, Sons of Anarchy and Sherlock.

0:20:060:20:11

-If it's good enough for them

-then it's good enough for me!

0:20:110:20:15

-We've had some really

-big celebrities.

0:20:180:20:21

-You think, "are they

-really playing a guitar...

0:20:210:20:24

-"..and strumming away to 40 people

-in our bar on a Monday?"

0:20:240:20:29

-When they can sell-out the 02 Arena

-for three nights on the run.

0:20:290:20:33

-Everyone loves it

-and the way it looks.

0:20:370:20:41

-Every little detail works...

0:20:420:20:45

-..and a lot of time

-has been spent on the hotel.

0:20:450:20:48

-The location of the hotel

-is fabulous.

0:20:490:20:52

-You can come here and

-then walk into the city centre.

0:20:530:20:57

-If I had the money, I'd buy it.

0:20:580:21:00

-The hotel is on the market

-for 1.5 million.

0:21:020:21:05

-But what does designer, Gwyn Eiddior

-think of the hotel? Is it a bargain?

0:21:050:21:11

-Just from walking in, you can see

-that the building is wonderful.

0:21:110:21:17

-Cathedral Road is one of the most

-luxurious streets in Cardiff.

0:21:170:21:22

-It has large houses dating back

-to the Victorian period.

0:21:230:21:27

-As you enter...

0:21:270:21:30

-..you see the building is filled

-with expensive furniture.

0:21:300:21:35

-It's colourful, but subtle.

0:21:350:21:40

-Tell us a bit about the rooms.

0:21:400:21:43

-The rooms have all been

-uniquely decorated.

0:21:430:21:49

-There's a unique character

-to each room.

0:21:490:21:54

-A lot of the artwork found

-in the rooms have humorous sides.

0:21:540:21:58

-I imagine staying at the hotel

-must be a great experience.

0:21:590:22:03

-This piece of artwork behind me

-drew my attention.

0:22:030:22:07

-It's unusual.

0:22:070:22:09

-These Giacometti style figures...

0:22:090:22:13

-..are climbing the steel ropes.

0:22:140:22:17

-There are many paintings.

0:22:180:22:19

-There's also a metal sculpture

-of various faces.

0:22:200:22:25

-In one room,

-I noticed a chest of drawers...

0:22:250:22:31

-..was sprayed in orange paint.

0:22:310:22:33

-As you enter the neutral room...

0:22:340:22:38

-..you are drawn to the drawers.

0:22:380:22:41

-There are small clever pieces

-in each of the rooms.

0:22:410:22:45

-The hotel is on the market

-for 1.5 million.

0:22:460:22:49

-What do you think of that?

0:22:490:22:52

-The figure of 1.5 million

-sounds like a lot...

0:22:520:22:58

-..but with the land and building

-prices, I feel it's a bargain.

0:22:580:23:04

-The hotel is big and the furniture

-is very expensive.

0:23:040:23:08

-If someone has a spare 1.5 million,

-you should buy this hotel.

0:23:080:23:14

-Could you see yourself living here?

0:23:140:23:17

-If you could give me a loan,

-I would love to live here.

0:23:170:23:21

-You looked at home there!

0:23:250:23:27

-You were there over the weekend.

0:23:270:23:29

-Yes, I attended Alison

-and Stephen's wedding there.

0:23:290:23:33

-It's a wonderful place

0:23:330:23:35

-Alwyn, we haven't mentioned

-Salt of the Earth.

0:23:350:23:39

-It's great to meet those who do

-such good work in our communities.

0:23:400:23:44

-A lucky someone will be honoured

-in North-West Wales soon.

0:23:440:23:50

-Get in touch if you know someone

-who deserves to receive a plate...

0:23:500:23:56

-..and a visit from Alwyn.

0:23:560:23:58

-Yes, you'll receive

-a kiss and bunch of flowers!

0:23:580:24:03

-That's the biggest honour

-anyone could receive!

0:24:040:24:08

-Good luck with the Cymanfa

-at the Eisteddfod.

0:24:080:24:13

-After the break...

0:24:130:24:15

-..we celebrate that May

-is the National Walking Month...

0:24:150:24:19

-..by making the most

-of what's on our doorstep.

0:24:190:24:22

-To ensure that we're safe

-when heading outdoors...

0:24:230:24:26

-..the keen rambler, Arwel Michael

-joins us to share his advice.

0:24:270:24:33

-See you after the break.

-Welcome back.

0:24:470:24:49

-May is National Walking Month.

0:24:500:24:52

-Recently on Prynhawn Da,

-the naturalist, Elinor Gwynn...

0:24:520:24:56

-..guided us

-along the Wales Coast Path.

0:24:560:24:59

-Elinor started her journey

-in South-East Wales...

0:24:590:25:02

-..by visiting the RSPB centre

-near Newport.

0:25:020:25:06

-Two years ago, I had the opportunity

-to walk along the Welsh coastline...

0:25:100:25:15

-..just after the Wales

-Coast Path was opened.

0:25:150:25:19

-This year, we've decided to revisit

-some of the sites on my tour.

0:25:200:25:24

-I will bring you

-picture-postcard views...

0:25:240:25:27

-..and to show the wonderful variety

-of landscapes we have in Wales.

0:25:280:25:32

-We start our journey

-near Chepstow in South Wales...

0:25:350:25:39

-..which marks the start or the end

-of the path.

0:25:390:25:43

-Cellan, we've reached

-the nature reserve...

0:25:430:25:47

-..that's located right next

-to the Coast Path.

0:25:470:25:50

-We're only a stone's throw away

-from the pylons and power stations.

0:25:510:25:56

-Tell the viewers

-where this reserve is located.

0:25:560:25:59

-The reserve is three miles east

-of Newport city centre.

0:25:590:26:04

-It's been here for 15 years...

0:26:040:26:07

-..and welcomes 100,000

-people annually.

0:26:070:26:10

-The reserve was opened to replace

-the feeding and nesting areas...

0:26:110:26:17

-..that were lost when the barrage

-in Cardiff Bay was built.

0:26:170:26:23

-This new habitat differs from

-the one that used to be in Cardiff.

0:26:230:26:29

-We have bog beds.

0:26:290:26:31

-The work done in Cardiff sparked

-the opening of this nature reserve.

0:26:310:26:36

-This bogland is located

-on the power station's wasteland.

0:26:360:26:41

-The bog beds have been

-extremely popular.

0:26:410:26:46

-We work in partnership

-with Natural Resources Wales...

0:26:460:26:51

-..to ensure that we work

-to benefit nature in the long-term.

0:26:510:26:55

-One of the most important aspects

-of this nature reserve...

0:26:590:27:03

-..is that it's a piece of land

-within the Gwent Levels.

0:27:030:27:08

-In the future...

0:27:080:27:10

-..we want to reconnect the

-communities with this landscape.

0:27:110:27:15

-Our landscape is under pressure

-from new developments and a new M4.

0:27:150:27:21

-Cities are also extending out

-to the surrounding levels.

0:27:210:27:26

-These bog beds at

-Newport Wetlands...

0:27:320:27:37

-..often welcome bearded tits.

0:27:370:27:40

-This is the first location in Wales

-where they've started to breed.

0:27:410:27:46

-It's an important bird and there's

-a good chance that you'll spot one.

0:27:460:27:51

-A few have been flying around

-like the marsh and Cetti's warblers.

0:27:510:27:57

-During the winter,

-you might even spot a bittern.

0:27:580:28:03

-Are there events like guided tours

-around the nature reserve?

0:28:070:28:12

-Yes, we have at least one

-guided tour per month.

0:28:120:28:15

-There are also events

-for the family.

0:28:160:28:19

-You can rent binoculars...

0:28:190:28:22

-..and activity packs for children.

0:28:220:28:25

-The Gwent Levels

-is an artificial landscape.

0:28:310:28:36

-There's nowhere better in Wales...

0:28:360:28:39

-..that shows how mankind

-has transformed...

0:28:390:28:43

-..the landscape during history.

0:28:430:28:46

-The trenches

-are an important part...

0:28:470:28:52

-..of managing habitats

-and landscapes.

0:28:520:28:56

-These trenches are essential

-to maintain the current landscape.

0:28:560:29:02

-Over thousands of years...

0:29:020:29:06

-..wildlife has developed

-in these trenches.

0:29:060:29:10

-There are plants and insects...

0:29:100:29:13

-..that only live

-in these of habitats.

0:29:130:29:16

-During the summer, Natural Resources

-Wales and the Gwent Levels owners...

0:29:160:29:22

-..ensure that water levels remain

-high to maintain good crop growth.

0:29:220:29:28

-During the winter...

0:29:280:29:30

-..the water levels

-are lowered to avoid flooding.

0:29:310:29:35

-Cellan, I look forward to seeing

-what happens here in the future.

0:29:350:29:40

-It's a stunning area

-that faces serious challenges.

0:29:400:29:43

-Good luck to the RSPB

-and its partners.

0:29:430:29:47

-Thank you.

0:29:470:29:49

-It's a beautiful area.

0:29:560:29:58

-It's time to welcome the naturalist

-and rambler, Arwel Michael.

0:29:580:30:03

-Welcome to the studio.

0:30:030:30:05

-We saw your son in that item.

0:30:050:30:07

-Yes, I was surprised to see him!

0:30:070:30:10

-You're here to discuss

-National Walking Month.

0:30:110:30:15

-In Wales, we're lucky to have

-so many locations to enjoy.

0:30:150:30:20

-We have lots of locations to

-go walking and enjoy the outdoors.

0:30:200:30:24

-Wales a fantastic country

-if you enjoy walking.

0:30:240:30:27

-When did you discover

-your love of walking?

0:30:280:30:32

-I'd started an apprenticeship at the

-Tick Tock factory in Ystrad Gynlais.

0:30:320:30:38

-I was 15 years old so I was too old

-to go out to play with the boys....

0:30:380:30:44

-..so I decided to start walking.

0:30:440:30:47

-Later on in my teens,

-I started walking longer distances.

0:30:470:30:52

-I've been a serious rambler

-since 1959.

0:30:520:30:56

-This year, I'll celebrate 57 years

-of walking the mountains of Wales.

0:30:560:31:02

-You enjoy taking photographs too.

0:31:020:31:06

-Yes, I always carry a camera

-when walking.

0:31:060:31:10

-I'm not a photographer but there

-are so many great views to capture.

0:31:100:31:16

-Therefore, taking pictures

-has become second nature to me.

0:31:170:31:22

-You have lots of experience

-of walking...

0:31:220:31:28

-..so do you have any advice

-for anyone who wants to go walking?

0:31:280:31:34

-It's important to take

-the right equipment with you.

0:31:340:31:38

-Before you even start walking...

0:31:380:31:40

-..you should decide

-on a start and end point...

0:31:400:31:44

-..and calculate how long

-the walk will take you.

0:31:440:31:48

-Leave a note at home, describing

-your intended whereabouts...

0:31:480:31:53

-..just in case you're stuck

-on a mountain.

0:31:530:31:56

-This will help people know

-where to start looking for you.

0:31:560:32:01

-Since we've had our little dog,

-we take it out for a walk.

0:32:010:32:06

-We enjoy walking.

0:32:060:32:08

-As we can see from these images...

0:32:080:32:11

-..we should make the most

-of our landscape in Wales.

0:32:110:32:17

-Being outdoors

-is a medicine in itself.

0:32:170:32:22

-You may feel tired

-after a long trek.

0:32:230:32:29

-Afterwards,

-you'll feel inspired and healthier.

0:32:290:32:33

-Let's talk about the essentials

-that you should take with you.

0:32:330:32:39

-You're very knowledgeable

-in this field.

0:32:390:32:42

-Tell us about the essentials.

0:32:430:32:45

-Good walking boots are essential.

0:32:450:32:49

-They should be sturdy and

-more substantial than wellingtons.

0:32:500:32:56

-Wellingtons will make you sweat.

0:32:560:32:58

-Waterproof clothes are also vital,

-especially if you're in Wales.

0:32:590:33:04

-They will keep you dry.

0:33:050:33:07

-The layers you wear beneath

-your waterproofs are important too.

0:33:080:33:13

-If you're not suitably dressed

-in the wind and rain...

0:33:130:33:18

-..that's when hypothermia

-can set in.

0:33:180:33:20

-You need extra layers

-like a t-shirt...

0:33:200:33:26

-..to wear if you've perspired

-or get wet in the rain.

0:33:270:33:32

-You've also got a torch.

0:33:320:33:35

-Lights are vital if you

-walk mountains in the darkness.

0:33:350:33:40

-The red torch is a strobe light...

0:33:400:33:46

-..that throws out bright light

-even in foggy conditions.

0:33:460:33:50

-If something happens to you...

0:33:500:33:53

-..the torch can guide rescuers

-to your location.

0:33:530:33:57

-You must have a torch

-even if you go walking in daylight.

0:33:570:34:03

-There's also a first aid kit,

-bag and walking stick.

0:34:030:34:09

-You could take all these items

-with you when walking.

0:34:090:34:12

-The GPS or Global Positioning System

-is a great gadget.

0:34:130:34:16

-I like to use my GPS if I

-come across archaeological sites.

0:34:170:34:21

-The most important piece of kit

-is the compass.

0:34:220:34:25

-If the GPS battery runs out,

-it won't tell you anything.

0:34:250:34:29

-However, the compass

-will always tell you where you are.

0:34:290:34:34

-You should learn how to use a

-map and compass before using a GPS.

0:34:350:34:39

-It's May and the weather will

-improve to allow us to go walking.

0:34:390:34:43

-Thank you for joining us.

0:34:430:34:46

-After the break, we'll return

-to the kitchen with Gareth.

0:34:460:34:50

-He'll be making

-a wonderful pudding for us.

0:34:500:34:53

-The folk group, Calan will embark

-on their summer tour, tonight.

0:34:530:34:57

-We've welcomed them into our studio

-on many occasions...

0:34:580:35:02

-..and tonight, we get to relive

-one of their performances.

0:35:020:35:06

-Welcome back.

0:35:240:35:25

-We're looking forward

-to Gareth's spring gateaux.

0:35:250:35:29

-The three of us are excited.

0:35:290:35:32

-We can't wait to sample it.

0:35:320:35:34

-Bank Holiday is all about puddings.

0:35:350:35:37

-Bank Holiday is all about puddings.

-

-It's a special treat.

0:35:370:35:39

-I haven't prepared for it at all.

0:35:400:35:43

-I'll prepare everything now.

0:35:430:35:46

-There's no pressure!

0:35:460:35:47

-There's no pressure!

-

-Good luck.

0:35:470:35:50

-In the bowl, I have two large eggs

-and 50 grams or 2 ounces of sugar.

0:35:500:35:55

-There's one ounce for every egg.

0:35:560:35:58

-Mix into a creamy texture

-until it doubles in size.

0:35:580:36:03

-I suggest

-using a hand blend for this.

0:36:040:36:08

-I've blitzed this

-for about six minutes.

0:36:090:36:12

-The next step is to add flour.

0:36:130:36:15

-Have you made a gateaux?

0:36:150:36:17

-Have you made a gateaux?

-

-No, I'm hopeless at making cakes.

0:36:170:36:22

-This is an easy recipe to follow.

0:36:220:36:25

-Sieve 50 grams of flour.

0:36:250:36:27

-You need 50 grams of everything

-and two eggs.

0:36:270:36:31

-We've folded air into the eggs and

-sieved the flour to create more air.

0:36:320:36:39

-You don't want to beat out the air

-so stir it with a metal spoon.

0:36:390:36:46

-Instead of a wooden spoon.

0:36:460:36:48

-Instead of a wooden spoon.

-

-That spoon is huge!

0:36:480:36:51

-It's important to keep

-the mixture light and fluffy.

0:36:510:36:58

-I've got a 12-inch-wide baking tray

-that has already been greaseproofed.

0:36:590:37:06

-Fold the mixture into the tray.

0:37:060:37:09

-The best way to do this is in heaps.

0:37:090:37:11

-It's important to keep

-air bubbles in the mixture.

0:37:120:37:17

-Don't spread it from the centre.

0:37:180:37:20

-It's easier to control the mixture

-when you scoop them into heaps.

0:37:200:37:26

-There's nothing complex in this yet.

0:37:260:37:29

-These ingredients should be in the

-kitchen cupboard with you already.

0:37:300:37:36

-The next step is to push

-the mixture to the sides.

0:37:370:37:42

-You don't want to lose any air

-so do this very slowly.

0:37:420:37:50

-The aim is to keep a light texture.

0:37:500:37:54

-This mixture is bland

-so we'll add some flavour.

0:37:540:37:59

-Crumble some amoretti biscuits

-into the mixture.

0:37:590:38:04

-We don't fold the crumbs

-into the mixture...

0:38:040:38:08

-..because

-they'll burst the air bubbles.

0:38:080:38:13

-It's ready to place in the oven.

0:38:130:38:17

-Bake for about 8 minutes.

0:38:170:38:20

-Switch it to 200 degrees Celsius,

-400 Fahrenheit or gas mark 4.

0:38:210:38:27

-You said you weren't hiding

-anything.

0:38:270:38:30

-You lied to us!

0:38:300:38:33

-Leave the cake to cool in the tray

-and then release it from the paper.

0:38:340:38:40

-Next, we need a tray

-for the gateaux.

0:38:400:38:45

-Simply grease it with some water.

0:38:460:38:51

-The tray measures around two pints.

0:38:520:39:00

-Line it with some clingfilm.

0:39:000:39:03

-The water keeps the film loose

-and helps it cling to the tray.

0:39:030:39:07

-I would forget to do

-something like that.

0:39:080:39:13

-I forget the small things.

0:39:130:39:16

-But you won Pryd o Ser.

0:39:160:39:18

-That is true.

0:39:180:39:21

-I try to be perfect.

0:39:220:39:26

-I'm cutting around the box

-to create the size of the pudding.

0:39:270:39:31

-Use the bottom of the box

-to get the size.

0:39:310:39:33

-Use a bread knife

-so you don't tear the cake.

0:39:340:39:40

-Hopefully, it won't stick.

0:39:400:39:44

-There's enough to prepare another.

0:39:440:39:46

-You can sample it.

0:39:460:39:49

-Why not?

0:39:490:39:51

-It's very light to handle.

0:39:510:39:54

-It's full of air and is very tasty.

0:39:540:39:57

-Line the bottom of the tray

-with some blueberries.

0:39:580:40:04

-They're packed full of goodness.

0:40:040:40:07

-Rhubarb is also in season.

0:40:070:40:10

-Mash the rhubarb

-and boil it with some sugar.

0:40:100:40:13

-Also add some ginger.

0:40:140:40:18

-I didn't expect ginger.

0:40:180:40:20

-It's blends well with rhubarb.

0:40:200:40:25

-Pour the rhubarb compote

-over the top.

0:40:250:40:29

-It'll drizzle down

-through the blueberries.

0:40:290:40:32

-Place the cake on the top.

0:40:320:40:35

-Add a splash of liqueur such as rum

-because it the Bank Holiday weekend!

0:40:360:40:42

-We've also got half a pint

-of whipped cream.

0:40:420:40:47

-Have you whipped it?

0:40:470:40:49

-Have you whipped it?

-

-Yes. Spread it over the top.

0:40:490:40:53

-Add the next layer of cake.

0:40:530:40:55

-I don't feel guilty

-about eating this gateaux...

0:40:560:40:59

-..because we enjoyed

-a healthy main course.

0:40:590:41:05

-This is completely acceptable.

0:41:050:41:08

-We'll need to wear tracksuits

-after eating this!

0:41:090:41:12

-What's that?

0:41:120:41:13

-What's that?

-

-This is lemon curd.

0:41:130:41:16

-It's a homemade recipe.

0:41:170:41:20

-Spread more cream on the top.

0:41:200:41:23

-It resembles a trifle.

0:41:230:41:25

-A tinned trifle.

0:41:250:41:27

-The clock is ticking, Gareth.

0:41:280:41:30

-Crumble biscuits over the top.

0:41:300:41:33

-You don't want the cream

-to stick to a plate.

0:41:340:41:37

-Let's get a plate.

0:41:370:41:41

-Whoa!

0:41:410:41:43

-No pressure! Is it going to work?

0:41:430:41:46

-Well done!

0:41:460:41:49

-Fantastic.

0:41:490:41:51

-Decorate with some mint

-and icing sugar.

0:41:520:41:54

-Just to complete it.

0:41:540:41:56

-That looks wonderful, Gareth.

0:41:570:42:00

-It's time for us to sample it.

0:42:000:42:02

-Thank you and enjoy the rest

-of the Bank Holiday weekend.

0:42:020:42:07

-It's perfect. Mmm!

0:42:070:42:10

-I'll have that large portion.

0:42:100:42:13

-Thank you, Gareth.

0:42:130:42:15

-That's it from us tonight.

0:42:150:42:17
