-Hello and welcome to Heno

-on the final Thursday in July.

0:00:190:00:23

-Another month has flown by!

0:00:230:00:26

-Tonight on Heno,

-we celebrate National Parks Week...

0:00:260:00:30

-..and Gerallt is in Snowdonia.

0:00:300:00:33

-Snowdon has kept itself

-to itself today...

0:00:350:00:39

-..but there's so much more than

-climbing Snowdon to do around here.

0:00:400:00:44

-I'm at Plas Tan Y Bwlch to

-celebrate National Parks Week.

0:00:450:00:49

-We'll have a game of golf with

-some famous rugby faces in Chepstow.

0:00:510:00:56

-We look ahead to the Big Cheese

-festival in Caerphilly, where else?

0:00:590:01:04

-And we'll be in Glynllifon for a

-preview of Theatr Bara Caws' show...

0:01:050:01:09

-..which stars

-all the forest animals.

0:01:100:01:13

-A warm welcome also to our studio

-guests who are both authors...

0:01:140:01:18

-..Sian Northey and Alys Conran.

0:01:180:01:21

-Alys has written an English novel,

-Pigeon...

0:01:220:01:26

-..and Sian has written

-the Welsh adaptation, Pijin.

0:01:270:01:31

-We'll get the back stories about

-their novels a little bit later.

0:01:320:01:36

-Welcome to Heno!

0:01:360:01:38

-But first, whether it's the

-Pembrokeshire Coastal Path...

0:01:410:01:44

-..the Brecon Beacons

-or the ridges of Snowdonia...

0:01:450:01:48

-..we're so lucky to have three such

-diverse National Parks in Wales.

0:01:480:01:52

-This week is National Parks Week...

0:01:520:01:55

-..and Gerallt is at Plas

-Tan Y Bwlch near Maentwrog...

0:01:550:01:58

-..to get a taste of the events

-taking place in Snowdonia.

0:01:590:02:02

-And 'taste' is quite an

-appropriate word to use, Gerallt.

0:02:030:02:06

-Good evening, Llinos.

0:02:070:02:09

-The tables are weighed down

-with local produce.

0:02:100:02:14

-The weather wasn't

-very favourable today...

0:02:150:02:18

-..but there's a great exhibition

-near Plas Tan y Bwlch.

0:02:200:02:23

-It celebrates National Parks Week

-and can be enjoyed in any weather.

0:02:230:02:28

-The Stables at Plas Tan Y Bwlch

-is home to an exhibition...

0:02:310:02:34

-..about the residents and landscape

-around the Snowdonia National Park.

0:02:350:02:39

-The village of Croesor

-is central to this exhibition.

0:02:400:02:44

-Two local artists have compiled

-Croesor, the World a Me exhibition.

0:02:450:02:51

-Sian Elen's concrete sculpture of

-a ram's horn is one of the works.

0:02:520:02:58

-An agriculture theme

-resonates through her portraits.

0:02:580:03:03

-There are 24 pieces on display but

-why is this one so special to you?

0:03:060:03:11

-It's because of its size.

0:03:120:03:14

-It features a lot of sheep

-and I want them to gel together.

0:03:150:03:19

-I also wanted to give them space

-so they have their own characters.

0:03:200:03:24

-I want to feel the energy they emit

-when pounding around in their pens.

0:03:250:03:29

-Llinos Griffin's film depicts pride

-and uncertainty about the village.

0:03:300:03:36

-It's a 30-minute film about Croesor,

-but what were the early aspirations?

0:03:520:03:58

-My aim was to interact with as many

-residents as possible from Croesor.

0:03:590:04:04

-I wanted to create a portrait of its

-past and celebrate our communities.

0:04:050:04:11

-It addresses the school closure

-and decline of the Welsh language.

0:04:120:04:21

-It touches on the future

-and how we should secure it.

0:04:230:04:27

-There are portraits of landscapes,

-animals and people.

0:04:290:04:33

-But next door are two people who are

-important in the history of Croesor.

0:04:330:04:39

-Aunty Gwen or Gwen Rowlands

-was the village school caretaker.

0:04:400:04:44

-She had a tiny frame but was strong

-and full of character.

0:04:450:04:50

-Who is the other one?

0:04:530:04:55

-Mrs Morgan was the headmistress

-but I didn't attend her school.

0:04:560:05:01

-I know her well and I'm envious

-that I wasn't educated by her.

0:05:020:05:07

-It's National Parks Week so how does

-your film fit in to the celebration?

0:05:300:05:36

-The films celebrate our communities.

0:05:380:05:41

-Viewers will be proud...

0:05:430:05:45

-..they were born within the beauty

-of a national park.

0:05:470:05:52

-It's an epic celebration

-of a national park community.

0:05:560:06:00

-I'm joined by Llinos Angharad.

0:06:080:06:11

-People need to think beyond

-the mountains...

0:06:230:06:27

-..and these are here

-for all to enjoy.

0:06:310:06:34

-I think this week

-is a great opportunity...

0:06:390:06:42

-..to enjoy our local produce.

0:06:420:06:45

-There's cheese, fish and much more.

0:06:490:06:52

-This week means we can focus

-on our landscape.

0:06:580:07:02

-Chris Marshall is a gardener

-at Plas Tan y Bwlch.

0:07:030:07:07

-We look after our landscape so that

-we can produce these things.

0:07:090:07:15

-People are welcome

-all through the year.

0:07:190:07:22

-There's a lot happening here.

0:07:240:07:26

-The gardens were designed

-as a spring garden.

0:07:340:07:38

-On Saturday,

-there's a great day for children.

0:07:420:07:46

-Bethan Gwanas is going to be here.

0:07:480:07:51

-There's only four places left!

0:07:550:07:58

-Back to you in Llanelli.

0:08:000:08:02

-Thank you, Gerallt.

0:08:030:08:05

-Tonight I'm in the company

-of not just one author, but two...

0:08:060:08:10

-..Alys Conran and Sian Northey.

0:08:100:08:12

-I live in the national park.

0:08:180:08:21

-I used to work there too.

0:08:220:08:24

-Alys, you have written Pigeon.

0:08:270:08:29

-Sian, you have adapted it into Welsh

-and your book is called Pijin.

0:08:300:08:34

-I wrote the original book

-in English.

0:08:380:08:40

-There's a lot of Welsh dialogue

-in the book.

0:08:470:08:50

-Parthian Books chose to publish a

-translation of the book.

0:09:030:09:07

-Both books were published in June.

0:09:070:09:10

-I think that's the first

-time that it's happened.

0:09:200:09:23

-I think this is brilliant.

0:09:240:09:26

-The language is very prominent

-in the novel.

0:09:270:09:30

-I read the book and I loved it.

0:09:380:09:40

-I really enjoyed translating it.

0:09:430:09:46

-I knew that it was a huge

-responsibility...

0:10:020:10:04

-..because it's a great book.

0:10:040:10:06

-What can we expect from the book?

0:10:090:10:11

-It's the story of a mischievous boy

-called Pigeon...

0:10:130:10:16

-..and his friendship with a girl

-called Iola.

0:10:160:10:20

-It's a love story

-but isn't romantic.

0:10:250:10:28

-There's also a murder.

0:10:310:10:33

-It follows the pair...

0:10:340:10:36

-..as they mature.

0:10:370:10:39

-There's a lot of elements

-in the book.

0:10:500:10:53

-How do you translate it?

0:10:530:10:55

-It's difficult to translate it.

0:10:580:11:01

-I think the pair of us

-thought we'd do more talking...

0:11:080:11:13

-..but that didn't happen

-until the very end.

0:11:150:11:18

-I didn't know what she was going to

-think about it.

0:11:230:11:27

-I was delighted with her work.

0:11:280:11:30

-The characters speak Welsh...

0:11:340:11:37

-..and refuse to speak Welsh

-at times...

0:11:420:11:45

-..so it was quite easy to take them

-back to their natural language.

0:11:540:12:00

-I've also written a book Rhyd y Gro.

0:12:100:12:13

-There was a great review on Prynhawn

-Da.

0:12:140:12:16

-I'm glad the reviewers

-on Prynhawn Da enjoyed it.

0:12:170:12:20

-It's a great book for the summer.

0:12:200:12:22

-Thank you, ladies.

0:12:220:12:23

-Over the weekend, Caerphilly

-will be a very cheesy place.

0:12:230:12:27

-The annual Big Cheese Festival is in

-the shadows of its majestic castle.

0:12:270:12:31

-If you enjoy an historical journey

-or two, a funfair, food and drink...

0:12:320:12:36

-then this is the festival for you.

0:12:360:12:40

0:13:270:13:29

-You don't have to like cheese

-to come here, but it helps!

0:13:300:13:34

-There is plenty to do

-Welcome back.

0:14:300:14:32

-There will be a deer, a crow,

-a frog, a squirrel and a mole...

0:14:330:14:37

-..at next week's

-National Eisteddfod.

0:14:370:14:40

-They've all been preparing

-for their trip to Abergavenny...

0:14:400:14:44

-..at Glynllifon Park

-near Caernarfon.

0:14:440:14:47

-They are cast members of

-Theatr Bara Caws' show, Ga'i Fod?...

0:14:480:14:52

-..which can be seen

-on the National Eisteddfod's Maes.

0:14:520:14:56

-Hello, how are you, are you OK?

0:15:000:15:02

-Cwmni Bara Caws were invited

-by the National Eisteddfod...

0:15:040:15:07

-..to contribute to the theatrical

-content on the Maes this year.

0:15:080:15:12

-We decided to resurrect Ga'i Fod?,

-a production from four years ago...

0:15:120:15:17

-..and which we will be performing

-in a glade on the Maes this year.

0:15:170:15:21

-No, I'm also here to take part.

0:15:210:15:23

-The show's title suggests

-a weekend of adventure...

0:15:250:15:29

-..like those mystery weekends when

-people pretend to be someone else...

0:15:290:15:34

-..or to act out different stories.

0:15:350:15:37

-These five come to the forest for a

-weekend of dressing up as animals...

0:15:370:15:42

-..in order to get back to nature.

0:15:420:15:45

-Or do they?

0:15:450:15:47

-It all began when Cwmni Theatr

-Bara Caws...

0:15:520:15:55

-..went to an international festival

-in the Netherlands.

0:15:560:16:01

-They saw this production

-in its original language.

0:16:010:16:06

-They then decided to buy it in.

0:16:080:16:10

-I play the part

-of Bleddyn Rowlands...

0:16:110:16:14

-..who has come to the forest

-to be an animal for the weekend.

0:16:150:16:20

-He becomes a mole.

0:16:200:16:22

-Every one of the characters

-in the forest go into a red box...

0:16:270:16:31

-..and then they find out which

-animal they'll be over the weekend.

0:16:320:16:36

-The idea is that they don't know

-which animal they will portray...

0:16:360:16:40

-..and then we get to see

-their adventures.

0:16:400:16:43

-You have one last chance

-to see Ga'i Fod?...

0:16:440:16:46

-..at Glynllifon tomorrow morning

-at 10.30pm and it lasts for an hour.

0:16:470:16:51

-At the Eisteddfod, it will be on

-at one and five o'clock...

0:16:510:16:54

-on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

-of next week.

-Every year, some of Wales'

-biggest rugby stars...

0:17:020:17:06

-..gather together

-at St Pierre in Chepstow...

0:17:060:17:09

-..to play golf, share some memories

-and raise money for charity.

0:17:090:17:13

-I've had the pleasure to be involved

-for three years now...

0:17:140:17:17

-..and it's always a fantastic day.

0:17:170:17:20

-There's always plenty of fun to be

-had in the company of people like...

0:17:200:17:28

-Over the years, the St Pierre

-golf course in Chepstow...

0:17:300:17:34

-..has hosted many professional

-golf tournaments.

0:17:340:17:37

-Today, it's rugby players

-who are on the course.

0:17:380:17:40

-Some are better than others...

0:17:410:17:42

-..but they're all here

-to support a very special charity.

0:17:430:17:48

-We are raising money

-for former Welsh players...

0:17:510:17:55

-..who might have had injuries,

-especially back in the amateur days.

0:17:550:18:00

-Also, for those who might

-have hit on hard times...

0:18:000:18:03

-..we can offer some financial

-support for medical treatments...

0:18:030:18:09

-..or whatever they need

-at the time.

0:18:090:18:12

-Days like these are well-known

-and it's an easy way to raise money.

-Owen Williams, the Cardiff player

-who had a serious injury...

-How is the golf today?

0:18:520:18:54

-How is the golf today?

0:19:060:19:09

-I can't quite get the ball in

-the hole, but I'm having fun...

0:19:100:19:14

-..and getting the chance to chat

-with people, some of them you know.

0:19:140:19:18

-I'm one of the organizers

-and a trustee of the committee.

0:19:190:19:22

-on days like today.

0:19:220:19:26

-It's all about having fun.

0:19:260:19:28

-It's great to be here

-to have a bit of fun.

0:19:300:19:33

-It's important to us as a sport

-and as people...

0:19:340:19:38

-..to support these causes.

0:19:380:19:40

-It's a lovely course

-and I hope the weather is good.

0:19:420:19:45

-I don't want to play in the rain.

0:19:450:19:48

-I used to play rugby in the rain,

-but I don't want to play golf in it.

0:19:480:19:52

-How are you enjoying the golf?

0:19:520:19:53

-How are you enjoying the golf?

-

-Not too bad.

0:19:530:19:55

-This is a lovely course

-and I'm having fun with the lads.

0:19:560:19:59

-Yes, it's going good.

0:20:000:20:01

-We're scoring quite well

-at the moment.

0:20:020:20:04

-I'm doing all right for myself.

0:20:040:20:06

-Normally I play at 24,

-but I have to play to 18 today.

0:20:060:20:09

-It's going decent.

0:20:090:20:10

-Alex, what about yourself?

0:20:110:20:11

-Alex, what about yourself?

-

-Not too bad.

0:20:110:20:13

-I usually start well

-and finish badly...

0:20:130:20:16

-..so I'm trying to get my best shots

-in now before it goes to pot!

0:20:160:20:19

-Apart from that, we're doing well.

0:20:190:20:21

-When the weather is fair,

-the other players play well.

0:20:220:20:26

-I'm OK, but what's important...

0:20:270:20:29

-..is that the money goes

-to the charitable trust.

0:20:300:20:33

-People work hard to raise the money.

0:20:330:20:36

-It's my debut for the Scarlets...

0:20:360:20:38

-..so my wife will be happy

-as she comes from Llanelli.

0:20:390:20:41

-It's like a reunion.

0:20:420:20:44

-In the old days, the players

-and press really mixed on tour.

0:20:440:20:48

-We used to play a bit of golf

-and it's great to see them again.

0:20:480:20:53

-If you find my balls,

-bring them back.

0:20:550:20:57

-They've got my name

-and address on them!

0:20:580:21:01

-Finally this evening,

-Jesus College, Oxford...

0:21:100:21:12

-..has traditionally been known

-as the Welsh college...

0:21:130:21:16

-..and its Welsh connections have

-been clear from the very start...

0:21:160:21:20

-..and continue to this day.

0:21:200:21:22

-Dr David Lewis from Abergavenny

-was the college's first Principal...

0:21:220:21:27

-..and recently a special ceremony

-took place to celebrate his life...

0:21:270:21:31

-..at St Mary's Priory Church.

0:21:310:21:33

-The college community

-at the outset...

0:21:330:21:35

-..consisted of the Principal,

-David Lewis.

0:21:350:21:38

-We've come here today to unveil a

-memorial plaque to Dr David Lewis...

0:21:380:21:42

-..the first Principal

-of Jesus College, Oxford.

0:21:420:21:46

-It's an excellent idea.

0:21:460:21:48

-Not only that former students...

0:21:480:21:50

-..have come to see the plaque

-being unveiled in Abergavenny...

0:21:510:21:55

-..but that the local people,

-the Church and Borough Council...

0:21:560:22:00

-..have wanted to honour

-this connection.

0:22:000:22:03

-The ceremony, together with all the

-people who have come here today...

0:22:030:22:07

-..has been a celebration

-of the talents of Welsh students.

0:22:070:22:10

-We heard during the service...

0:22:100:22:12

-..about a University Chancellor

-in the 15th Century...

0:22:130:22:16

-..who praised the diligence

-of Welsh students.

0:22:160:22:19

-That certainly hasn't changed.

0:22:190:22:21

-In the name of the Father,

-the Son and the Holy Spirit.

0:22:210:22:24

-Welsh was his first language.

0:22:250:22:26

-He became a very important man...

0:22:270:22:29

-..but he still supported his

-local area, the local schools.

0:22:300:22:34

-We want to rekindle

-those strong connections...

0:22:350:22:39

-..with people across Wales.

0:22:410:22:43

-My studio guests have been

-Alys Conran and Sian Northey.

0:22:570:23:01

-Abergavenny is an historical site

-for people to visit next week.

0:23:020:23:07

-I'll be there from the Monday

-to the Thursday.

0:23:200:23:23

-I'll be there to the end.

0:23:240:23:25

-There's a special event

-at 2.00pm on the Eisteddfod Maes.

0:23:380:23:43

-We can explain the title

-and the book.

0:23:450:23:48

-The Welsh book is smaller.

0:23:510:23:53

-It's all about the font!

0:23:540:23:56

-I think that's the reason.

0:23:580:24:00

-Good luck at the Eisteddfod.

0:24:010:24:03

-That's all we have time

-for this evening.

0:24:040:24:07

-Tomorrow, we go behind the scenes

-at the opening concert...

0:24:070:24:11

-..of the National Eisteddfod.

0:24:110:24:13

-Yvonne will look at the area's

-best cafes and restaurants.

0:24:140:24:18

-We'll also be in Llanddarog

-for a speed shearing competition.

0:24:180:24:22

-Dyfan Dwyfor, Aron Elias and Rowland

-Phillips will be our studio guests.

0:24:230:24:29

-It should be a fantastic night.

0:24:290:24:32

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
