-Hello and welcome to Heno.

0:00:190:00:21

-We also welcome our special guest,

-the presenter, Mari Lovgreen.

0:00:230:00:27

-Thank you.

0:00:280:00:30

-Mari discusses this weekend's

-Gwyl Cann Office festival.

0:00:310:00:36

-It's this weekend in Llangadfan.

0:00:400:00:42

-Also on tonight's programme:

0:00:430:00:45

-I'm in Criccieth for a busy week for

-the Gwynedd Guide Dogs Association.

0:00:450:00:49

-There's some walking, socializing...

0:00:490:00:52

-..and fund-raising to train a dog

-and call it Arthur...

0:00:520:00:55

-..in memory of the late

-Arthur Rowlands.

0:00:550:00:57

-I mark 80 years of trig points

-that mapped the British landscape.

0:00:580:01:02

-And they're still as relevant today.

0:01:020:01:04

-It's also school's out for good

-at Llandysul's Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.

0:01:070:01:13

-First, let's head back to Gerallt.

0:01:150:01:18

-We hear that it's a busy week for

-the Gwynedd Guide Dogs Association.

0:01:190:01:24

-It's a week to celebrate

-and commemorate...

0:01:250:01:28

-..the special contribution

-of the late, Arthur Rowlands...

0:01:290:01:33

-..and his work of establishing

-the Gwynedd Guide Dog Association.

0:01:330:01:39

-Arthur Rowlands was certainly

-the face of Gwynedd Guide Dogs.

0:01:430:01:47

-He worked as a policeman...

0:01:470:01:49

-..until he was shot in the face

-on duty near Machynlleth in 1961.

0:01:500:01:55

-Arthur received five guide dogs

-during his lifetime...

0:01:550:01:59

-..and never lost an opportunity

-to promote the work of the charity.

0:01:590:02:04

-It's no surprise that there's been

-celebrations and tributes...

0:02:040:02:09

-..along the walking tours which

-commenced in Barmouth this week.

0:02:090:02:14

-Buddug, this makes a change

-for you and Freya.

0:02:140:02:17

-Yes, it's nice to see it dry

-after all the downpours.

0:02:190:02:23

-Freya and I have come here today

-to take part in the walking tour...

0:02:260:02:31

-..which remembers 40 years since

-Arthur Rowlands set up this branch.

0:02:330:02:38

-How important is Aggie to you

-in your everyday life?

0:02:400:02:45

-Before having Aggie I was stuck

-at home and I couldn't do a lot.

0:02:460:02:51

-Aggie is great company and knows

-when I'm down and keeps me happy.

0:02:540:02:59

-I couldn't do anything without her.

0:03:000:03:03

-Carys has come to show her support.

0:03:050:03:08

-Yes, my brother-in-law

-was related to Arthur Rowlands.

0:03:120:03:17

-He was an important figure to him

-after losing his sight.

0:03:170:03:21

-I've travelled here by bus

-from Bala today.

0:03:210:03:25

-My father was also struck down

-with macular disease...

0:03:250:03:29

-..which had a massive impact on him.

0:03:300:03:32

-Today is about coming together,

-but how important is it to you?

0:03:360:03:44

-It's really important to me

-as we get to know each other.

0:03:460:03:51

-We enjoy each other's company

-and the dogs enjoy socializing.

0:03:510:03:56

-One of the aims is to raise funds

-for a dog and name it after Arthur.

0:04:010:04:06

-Yes, it's a fantastic Welsh name

-and Arthur was a king to us all.

0:04:110:04:19

-He would boost our confidence

-and helped those who were blind.

0:04:200:04:25

-Once they spoke to Arthur,

-they changed their outlook.

0:04:280:04:32

-We've arrive at Criccieth today.

0:04:430:04:45

-We've discussed walking

-and having fun...

0:04:460:04:49

-..but need to mention the important

-matter of raising heaps of money...

0:04:500:04:54

-..to help train a guide dog.

0:04:540:04:56

-It costs 5,000 to train

-and care for a guide dog.

0:05:010:05:04

-It's 50,000 during its lifetime,

-but 5,000 for its first year.

0:05:040:05:08

-We aim to raise 5,000 this year

-to name a dog Arthur...

0:05:080:05:12

-..in memory of our honourable

-president, Arthur Rowlands.

0:05:130:05:18

-There's a Justgiving page

-where you can donate to us.

0:05:190:05:23

-Can you take your head off, Pero?

0:05:260:05:31

-Sioned is Buddug's granddaughter

-and delighted to show her support.

0:05:330:05:39

-Yes, it's amazing how these dogs can

-transform lives, especially Nain's.

0:05:400:05:46

-You can wear your costume head

-for the rest of the tour!

0:05:470:05:52

-The message is to dig deep into your

-pockets and help a worthwhile cause.

0:05:530:05:59

-Back to you in Llanelli.

0:05:590:06:01

-Thank you, Gerallt.

0:06:020:06:04

-We'll return to Gerallt

-later in the programme.

0:06:050:06:08

-Mari Lovgreen is my studio guest.

0:06:080:06:11

-Arthur is my uncle.

0:06:140:06:16

-He was my grandmother's brother.

-He was such a gentleman.

0:06:250:06:29

-There's folk music on Friday night.

0:06:360:06:39

-Expect to enjoy local artists

-including Teulu Moeldrehaearn...

0:06:400:06:44

-..Sian James and Hen Fegin.

0:06:440:06:46

-There's also a book launch.

0:06:550:06:57

-How did it all come about?

0:07:080:07:10

-After the 2003 Eisteddfod...

0:07:130:07:15

-..people wanted to keep the momentum

-going in the area.

0:07:170:07:21

-Since then they have held this

-festival.

0:07:250:07:28

-Where is the pub?

0:07:290:07:31

-The festival is held in the

-Llangadfan area.

0:07:370:07:41

-There's a great welcome there.

0:07:420:07:45

-Everyone seems to return year after

-year.

0:07:570:08:00

-The pub is very isolated.

-Can people camp?

0:08:010:08:05

-Visitors are able to camp next door

-to the pub.

0:08:060:08:09

-You can also jump on a bus

-to get to the festival.

0:08:180:08:22

-People of all ages can enjoy here.

0:08:320:08:35

-You are back home really.

0:08:360:08:38

-My grandfather was raised in

-Llanerfyl.

0:08:430:08:46

-His mother worked on the farm

-where I now live.

0:08:560:08:59

-This is quite spooky!

0:08:590:09:00

-I think it's fate.

0:09:020:09:04

-I've lived in the area for about

-eight years now.

0:09:230:09:26

-What about the football on Saturday?

0:09:270:09:30

-A big screen will be erected to

-watch the Wales football match.

0:09:340:09:39

-Don't run off to Paris -

-come to the Cann Office Festival!

0:09:420:09:46

-Hopefully, this year's event

-will be more of a success.

0:09:540:09:58

-There are dance sessions

0:09:590:10:03

-Myrddin ap Dafydd

-also has a poetry competition.

0:10:080:10:12

-Storm, Casset,

-and Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog...

0:10:130:10:16

-..all perform on Saturday evening.

0:10:160:10:19

-Thank you, Mari.

0:10:200:10:22

-We'll chat again later.

0:10:220:10:24

-We're familiar with seeing

-super schools being built...

0:10:240:10:27

-..as they take the place

-of more traditional schools.

0:10:270:10:30

-Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi school

-in Llandysul closes next month.

0:10:310:10:36

-The site has been home

-to two schools since 1895.

0:10:360:10:40

-A commemorative event has been

-arranged for Saturday at the school.

0:10:410:10:46

-Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi

-opened in 1984...

0:10:470:10:50

-..the year I left Llandysul

-Grammar School.

0:10:520:10:54

-The site is an important link

-between the two schools.

0:10:550:10:58

-It's not only Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi

-which has been here.

0:10:580:11:01

-The site in Llandysul

-has been home to two schools.

0:11:020:11:05

-It's a lovely building, but what

-makes Dyffryn Teifi so special...

0:11:050:11:09

-..are the people who have walked

-these corridors over the years.

0:11:090:11:13

-It helps that it's a small school.

0:11:130:11:15

-Everyone knows everybody else.

-We are all friends.

0:11:160:11:19

-People say that the school is one,

-big family.

0:11:200:11:23

-It's a happy school to work in.

0:11:230:11:26

-Having been here for five years,

-it's like a second home to us.

0:11:260:11:30

-We know every corner and everyone

-walking the corridors.

0:11:310:11:34

-It will be sad to move

-to a more modern site.

0:11:350:11:38

-It's an exciting time.

0:11:410:11:43

-We are moving to a new site

-with new facilities.

0:11:430:11:46

-Everything will be under one roof.

0:11:470:11:49

-Everything will be brand-new.

0:11:490:11:52

-We will be the first ones

-to use the facilities.

0:11:520:11:55

-There is a gymnasium, an Astroturf

-pitch and a drama room - everything.

0:11:560:12:02

-It looks amazing

-with big classrooms.

0:12:030:12:06

-Plenty of room for everyone.

0:12:060:12:08

-This is my seventh and final year

-at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.

0:12:090:12:12

-It feels special to end our time

-at Dyffryn Teifi...

0:12:120:12:16

-..with the building itself.

0:12:160:12:18

-There's a open day,

-which gives former pupils...

0:12:190:12:22

-..of the grammar school

-and of Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi...

0:12:220:12:25

-..the chance to revisit the school,

-maybe for the last time.

0:12:260:12:30

-There is entertainment, food

-and a chance for former pupils...

0:12:300:12:35

-..to take part in activities and

-to contribute to the entertainment.

0:12:360:12:41

-I will be performing on the day to

-say farewell to Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.

0:12:410:12:46

-We will celebrate the years that

-have gone by.

0:12:470:12:50

-It will be strange

-to pass the school...

0:12:510:12:53

-..and not to see children running

-around and the place all quiet.

0:12:530:12:58

-It's a chance for the younger

-children...

0:12:580:13:01

-..to go up to the new school and

-make use of the new facilities.

0:13:010:13:05

-I have only been at the school

-for one year.

0:13:050:13:08

-I'm very excited to go to the new

-school and create a new history.

0:13:080:13:12

-Many of the teachers will mourn the

-old school on the hill, as will I.

0:13:120:13:16

-There is no doubt about that.

0:13:160:13:18

-Now we climb to the top of the hill,

-look over the valley...

0:13:180:13:22

-..and look forward to developing

-the talents we have nurtured here.

0:13:230:13:27

-Make sure you visit on Saturday.

0:13:320:13:34

-That's it from us for now,

-but we've got this in the next part.

0:13:340:13:39

-Our weatherman, Steff Griffiths,

-has been on Caerphilly Mountain...

0:13:390:13:44

-..to commemorate 80 years

-of trig points.

0:13:450:13:48

-We also pay tribute to the late

-Charlie Price of Deganwy...

0:13:490:13:53

-..who represented Wales in a French

-football tournament, 80 years ago.

0:13:540:14:00

0:14:090:14:10

-Welcome back.

0:14:110:14:13

-If enjoy a mountain trek,

-you'll be familiar with trig points.

0:14:150:14:19

-The pillars were raised 80 years ago

-to map the landscape of Britain.

0:14:200:14:26

-Steff Griffiths marks the milestone

-at the peak of Caerphilly Mountain.

0:14:280:14:33

-Even Steff couldn't arrange

-glorious weather for the day!

0:14:360:14:41

-Today, I'm here

-in the Caerphilly area...

0:14:460:14:49

-..because this year, we celebrate

-something that has helped us...

0:14:490:14:53

-..to understand the geography

-of the country.

0:14:540:14:56

-The trig point.

0:14:570:14:59

-It's now 80 years...

0:15:000:15:02

-..since these iconic pillars

-first appeared across the country.

0:15:030:15:07

-The reason they were built

-was because before 1936...

0:15:070:15:10

-..there weren't any precise,

-national maps.

0:15:110:15:14

-The map system was failing...

0:15:150:15:17

-..so it was decided

-to create a national system.

0:15:180:15:21

-These pillars would be used

-to improve the maps.

0:15:220:15:25

-Ordnance Survey workers built them.

0:15:260:15:29

-Big teams of them climbed mountains

-with sand and cement.

0:15:300:15:35

-It took a lot of hard work

-to build them all.

0:15:350:15:41

-Gareth, this is a trig point.

0:15:420:15:43

-Gareth, this is a trig point.

-

-Yes, a trig point.

0:15:430:15:45

-It's incredible to think

-that they built 6,500 of them.

0:15:480:15:51

-They say it resembles an iceberg.

0:15:520:15:54

-That's because, underneath them,

-there is another metre of concrete.

0:15:550:16:00

-On the top is a hook

-in which to insert a theodolite.

0:16:020:16:06

-That would ensure the theodolite

-was completely safe.

0:16:070:16:10

-By looking at another trig point...

0:16:110:16:14

-..they would use angles to work out

-exactly where they were situated.

0:16:140:16:20

-From the trig point

-on Caerphilly Common...

0:16:200:16:23

-..two other trig points can be seen.

0:16:230:16:25

-Mynydd Meio to the north

-and Garth Hill to the west.

0:16:260:16:29

-This is crucial

-for successful mapping.

0:16:300:16:33

-If you don't know the distance

-between Point A and Point B...

0:16:340:16:39

-..then by working out

-the angles to Point C...

0:16:400:16:43

-..and by using

-simple trigonometry...

0:16:440:16:46

-..the distances between all three

-points can be calculated.

0:16:460:16:50

-Once the measurements between

-one triangle have been achieved...

0:16:500:16:54

-..the process is repeated

-in order to map the entire country.

0:16:540:16:59

-These days, trig points

-are no longer used for mapping.

0:17:000:17:03

-Modern methods, such as GPS and

-satellite imaging are now used.

0:17:040:17:08

-Having said that...

0:17:080:17:10

-..if you're lost with nothing more

-than a map and a compass...

0:17:110:17:15

-..the old way is still the best.

0:17:150:17:17

-Hello, Math, it's fresh.

0:17:270:17:29

-Fresh is one word to describe this!

0:17:300:17:33

-You often use trig pillars.

0:17:330:17:35

-Trig points are important

-because they are fixed points.

0:17:360:17:40

-That means that on a map,

-they will not move.

0:17:400:17:43

-On an OS map...

0:17:430:17:45

-..they are denoted by a small,

-blue triangle with a circle inside.

0:17:460:17:50

-We can look

-at a map and the mountains...

0:17:500:17:53

-..and by using triangulation,

-find out our exact position.

0:17:540:17:57

-Here on this ridge...

0:17:580:18:00

-..we can see Caerphilly Common,

-Mynydd Meio and Garth Hill.

0:18:010:18:06

-Earlier, by using a compass,

-I took a bearing to each one...

0:18:060:18:10

-..and drew a line on the map.

0:18:110:18:13

-These days,

-everyone has a phone or a tablet.

0:18:180:18:21

-How important is it to keep

-this tradition alive?

0:18:220:18:25

-It's not a tradition, it's a skill.

0:18:260:18:28

-Phones and computers

-rely on battery power.

0:18:290:18:32

-Batteries will die.

0:18:330:18:35

-These skills are needed if something

-goes wrong when you're out walking.

0:18:350:18:40

-By using triangulation

-and trig points...

0:18:400:18:44

-..you can find out

-your exact location...

0:18:450:18:48

-..in order to call for help or just

-to assist your onward journey.

0:18:480:18:53

-Next time you're out walking

-and pass a trig point...

0:18:570:19:01

-..you'll know the crucial part they

-played in the mapping of Britain.

0:19:010:19:06

-Considering the resources

-they had back then...

0:19:060:19:10

-..it's amazing how accurate

-this mapping method actually was.

0:19:110:19:15

-Everyone's gone football mad

-during the past fortnight...

0:19:210:19:26

-..as Wales are performing

-remarkably well in the Euros.

0:19:260:19:30

-Good luck to them on Saturday!

0:19:300:19:33

-But did you know that Wales

-played in France back in 1936?

0:19:350:19:39

-One of the players

-was Charlie Price of Deganwy.

0:19:400:19:44

-Gerallt met him recently

-to hear all about it.

0:19:450:19:48

-Since filming the item,

-Charlie sadly passed away...

0:19:480:19:52

-..but his family gave us

-permission to broadcast it.

0:19:520:19:55

-Let's return to Gerallt.

0:19:560:19:58

-The late Charlie Price

-was quite a character.

0:19:590:20:02

-I first met him

-about eighteen months ago.

0:20:030:20:05

-This is what he did...

0:20:050:20:07

-..at the ripe old age of 97!

0:20:080:20:10

-Charlie Price

-was a real adventurer at heart.

0:20:190:20:22

-Following the filming

-at the zip wire in Bethesda...

0:20:230:20:27

-..he told me about being chosen to

-play for the Urdd football team...

0:20:270:20:32

-..that competed out in France

-80 years ago.

0:20:320:20:34

-Did you enjoy playing for Wales?

0:20:380:20:40

-Did you enjoy playing for Wales?

-Good Lord, yes!

0:20:400:20:42

-I was very proud and delighted to

-have been chosen to go out there.

0:20:430:20:48

-I loved playing football.

0:20:480:20:50

-In the last game in Calais, we

-played against a professional side.

0:20:510:20:57

-We were given a real thrashing.

0:20:570:21:00

-A thrashing.

0:21:010:21:03

-This is the shirt that you wore

-to play football 80 years ago.

0:21:050:21:09

-Yes.

0:21:100:21:12

-It's quite amazing.

0:21:120:21:14

-Instead of an international cap,

-I have a shirt!

0:21:150:21:19

-It was an honour to have known

-Charlie Price...

0:21:190:21:22

-..and it's sad that he didn't live

-to see Wales...

0:21:220:21:25

-..make such an impression

-over in France this year.

0:21:250:21:28

-Our thoughts are with his family

-this evening.

0:21:290:21:32

-Charlie Price

-was a very likeable character.

0:21:370:21:41

-It's clear that football

-lives on in his family.

0:21:420:21:45

-These are Cadi, Siwan and Nansi,

-Charlie's great-granddaughters.

0:21:460:21:51

-They made this video

-to support Wales...

0:21:510:21:53

-..and to remember their

-great-grandfather...

0:21:540:21:56

-..and his adventure playing football

-over in France 80 years ago.

0:21:570:22:01

-Very well done to them.

0:22:010:22:03

-Now, back to you in Llanelli.

0:22:040:22:06

-Thank you, Gerallt.

0:22:080:22:10

-Mari Lovgreen has been

-my studio guest this evening.

0:22:130:22:17

-I said that I would dye my hair to

-yellow...

0:22:320:22:36

-..if Wales had won against Russia.

0:22:370:22:40

-I don't understand

-a lot about football.

0:22:480:22:51

-I never go back on my word.

-I love my red hair though!

0:22:590:23:03

-Use a lot of conditioner!

0:23:040:23:06

-I've got mud all over my face here

-in aid of Mudiad Meithrin.

0:23:140:23:19

-It's a special appeal with them

-where you take a photo...

0:23:280:23:32

-..and place it online of you wearing

-a mud face mask!

0:23:410:23:45

-I look forward to seeing

-your yellow hair!

0:23:490:23:52
