-Welcome to Woodfest Wales in

-Caerwys near the A55 in Flintshire.

0:00:260:00:30

-The festival's in its 15th year,

-attracting 20,000 visitors annually.

0:00:310:00:37

-It's a celebration of woodcutting...

0:00:370:00:40

-..but that's not

-the only reason we're here.

0:00:400:00:42

-Ifan Jones Evans, over to you.

0:00:430:00:45

-Ifan Jones Evans, over to you.

-

-Thank you, Sarra.

0:00:450:00:47

-15 of the world's best axemen

-will compete in five disciplines...

0:00:470:00:52

-..to win the prestigious title

-of all-round lumberjack.

0:00:520:00:56

-Looking forward to the contest

-is our most famous lumberjack...

0:00:570:01:01

-..Dafydd Cadwaladr.

0:01:010:01:03

-..Dafydd Cadwaladr.

-

-I'm looking forward to this.

0:01:030:01:05

-It'll be

-a mighty challenge for these men...

0:01:050:01:08

-..and a test of tenacity,

-strength and perseverance.

0:01:080:01:12

-I can't wait.

0:01:120:01:13

-I can't wait.

-

-But the big question this year is...

0:01:130:01:16

-..can any of the local men...

0:01:160:01:19

-..retain the

-Championship 5 trophy in Wales?

0:01:190:01:23

-I won the contest last year, so lots

-of people want to beat me this year.

0:01:230:01:28

-I'll keep my head down

-and see how it goes.

0:01:280:01:30

-Some of the world's best axemen

-and lumberjacks have come here...

0:01:340:01:39

-..to compete

-and take a fresh look...

0:01:400:01:42

-..at one of mankind's

-most ancient crafts.

0:01:420:01:45

-The Championship 5 event

-is the one they all want to win.

0:01:450:01:49

-I'm sure you want to know more.

0:01:490:01:51

-I'm sure you want to know more.

-

-It's an almighty challenge, Sarra.

0:01:510:01:53

-Five disciplines

-requiring a variety of skills.

0:01:540:01:57

-The first event, the tree climb,

-separates the men from the boys.

0:01:570:02:01

-It requires much more

-than brute force.

0:02:010:02:04

-What I'll be looking out for...

0:02:040:02:07

-..is those who can cut a groove

-in four to six strikes...

0:02:070:02:11

-..ensuring the plank doesn't slip

-because they'll lose their power.

0:02:120:02:16

-First up is Terry Hough,

-the old hand from Nefyn...

0:02:190:02:22

-..against the Belgian giant,

-David Bergen.

0:02:230:02:26

-This is interesting because

-they both have different techniques.

0:02:290:02:34

-David Bergen will be very strong

-once he reaches the top.

0:02:340:02:37

-Terry will have to ensure

-he reaches the top first.

0:02:380:02:41

-If he does, he has a good chance.

0:02:410:02:43

-They're both on the second plank.

0:02:440:02:46

-This is exciting.

0:02:460:02:48

-He has a good chance.

0:02:490:02:51

-If he can secure it in place...

0:02:520:02:54

-If he can secure it in place...

-

-He's in the lead.

0:02:540:02:56

-Come on, Terry, up you go!

0:02:560:02:58

-He's starting to make headway...

0:02:590:03:01

-..but that groove has to be perfect.

0:03:010:03:04

-Terry's experienced enough

-to know that something isn't right.

0:03:040:03:10

-The plank would've slipped if he'd

-carried on, so he repositions it.

0:03:100:03:14

-He's lost his chance now.

0:03:150:03:17

-What a pity!

0:03:170:03:19

-And Bergen goes for it,

-finishing in 1.47 minutes.

0:03:190:03:23

-At six foot six inches, David's

-like a squirrel up that tree.

0:03:260:03:29

-Andrew Evans, Bethesda,

-is a stone and a half heavier.

0:03:290:03:33

-A full minute slower.

0:03:330:03:35

-And the giant

-from Bala Rugby Club, Dewi Pugh...

0:03:360:03:39

-..proves that strength

-isn't everything...

0:03:390:03:42

-..finishing four and a half minutes

-after everyone else.

0:03:420:03:47

-Are you too heavy to be doing this?

0:03:470:03:48

-Are you too heavy to be doing this?

-

-Yes, I am.

0:03:480:03:50

-I'm way over 18 stone, I'm afraid.

0:03:500:03:53

-I should've taken more time to widen

-the groove, knowing I'm so heavy.

0:03:530:03:58

-One of the referees

-told me to do it properly.

0:03:580:04:03

-Dewi's an engineer, but there was

-no vorsprung durch technik today.

0:04:030:04:08

-It's a different story

-for his brother.

0:04:080:04:10

-As last year's winner,

-are you under pressure, Elgan?

0:04:110:04:14

-Yes, I'd say so,

-but I'll try my best.

0:04:140:04:17

-Confident?

0:04:170:04:18

-Confident?

-

-I hope so.

0:04:180:04:19

-The top's come off.

-I think he wants a suntan!

0:04:200:04:23

-His opponent,

-Brian Palsgaard from Denmark...

0:04:250:04:28

-..is a professional lumberjack.

0:04:280:04:31

-This is another great contest

-between the world's elite.

0:04:310:04:35

-Brian Palsgaard is the Danish

-champion, this is his best event.

0:04:360:04:40

-Elgan is one of the best axemen

-to come out of Wales.

0:04:400:04:44

-Elgan's plank isn't as good as we'd

-expect since these two are the best.

0:04:440:04:48

-They should cut the groove

-in six strikes.

0:04:490:04:51

-The second plank is so important.

0:04:520:04:54

-The second plank is so important.

-

-This is a good one. Correct angle.

0:04:540:04:56

-He can exert all his strength.

-He's ahead of Brian.

0:04:570:05:00

-Come on, Elgan, go for it!

0:05:000:05:03

-Elgan's turned.

0:05:040:05:05

-He's now in the lead.

-I'm sure he won't lose from here.

0:05:060:05:10

-Well done, Elgan. Great work!

0:05:120:05:14

-Great victory. Well done, Elgan.

0:05:150:05:17

-A 12-second advantage...

0:05:190:05:23

-..means the Great Dane

-isn't so great.

0:05:230:05:26

-They said you were quick, Elgan,

-and they were right.

0:05:260:05:30

-Could you hear

-your brother shouting at you?

0:05:300:05:33

-When you're up there,

-you hear everything.

0:05:330:05:36

-He was shouting at you

-to stop looking at Brian.

0:05:360:05:39

-Is it difficult

-not to watch your opponent?

0:05:390:05:42

-No. You can hear them and

-see them in the corner of your eye.

0:05:420:05:46

-You're in the lead so far.

0:05:460:05:47

-You're in the lead so far.

-

-There's a long way to go.

0:05:470:05:49

-Yes, another four events.

0:05:490:05:52

-Elgan is in the lead

-after the first event.

0:05:520:05:55

-His big brother, Dewi, is last.

0:05:550:05:57

-But this is a marathon.

0:05:590:06:01

-The area's most famous axeman

-and the brains behind this event...

0:06:030:06:07

-..is Simon Bellfield, who's also a

-frontrunner in Clwyd Axemen's club.

0:06:080:06:12

-Believe you me,

-these boys are dangerous.

0:06:130:06:16

-I'm chairman of Clwyd Axemen,

-a club formed seven years ago.

0:06:180:06:22

-This is

-where we usually meet to practise.

0:06:230:06:26

-We're an industrious club, turning

-hundreds of trees as training.

0:06:290:06:33

-The club

-is designed to create interest...

0:06:340:06:37

-..for new and young members.

0:06:370:06:39

-We give up our time

-to train the youngsters.

0:06:390:06:42

-I've always been interested

-in trees.

0:06:430:06:46

-As a child, I remember

-chopping trees for firewood...

0:06:460:06:50

-..as well as chopping down trees -

-it suits me down to the ground.

0:06:500:06:55

-It keeps you fit. You get together

-with the lads and have fun.

0:06:560:07:01

-It's like a society.

0:07:010:07:03

-It's like a society.

-

-If I hadn't met the lads...

0:07:030:07:05

-..I'd have missed out on so many

-chances that I've been given.

0:07:050:07:09

-It's different, it's interesting

-and it's a lot of fun.

0:07:110:07:15

-We take the competing seriously...

0:07:160:07:19

-..but once it's over,

-everyone has a lot of fun.

0:07:190:07:23

-Next is the crosscut sawing -

-the 400mm sawboard event.

0:07:260:07:30

-It requires very different skills.

0:07:310:07:34

-Yes, individuals

-sawing with a two-man saw...

0:07:340:07:38

-..which is

-incredibly difficult to master.

0:07:380:07:41

-This is the iron man

-of all the lumberjack events.

0:07:410:07:44

-In the first contest,

-a battle between the master...

0:07:480:07:52

-..and his pupil.

0:07:520:07:54

-Andrew,

-I don't want to make you feel old...

0:07:540:07:57

-..but are you the old stager here...

0:07:570:08:01

-..and Simon's the up-and-coming?

0:08:010:08:04

-That's true enough.

-I've taught him everything he knows.

0:08:040:08:08

-You're the teacher, he's the pupil.

0:08:080:08:10

-I used to hold

-the British record in 2014...

0:08:110:08:13

-..and he held it before me.

0:08:140:08:15

-You'll be shooting each other evils.

0:08:160:08:18

-You'll be shooting each other evils.

-

-It's not too bad, we're mates.

0:08:180:08:20

-Are you confident?

0:08:200:08:21

-Are you confident?

-

-I have to be, don't I?

0:08:210:08:24

-I didn't come here to lose,

-so I'll give it everything I've got.

0:08:240:08:28

-Simon Bond is the new kid

-on the block then, Dafydd.

0:08:290:08:33

-Yes, to some extent. He's

-been doing it for a year or two.

0:08:330:08:37

-Simon's just returned

-from New Zealand...

0:08:380:08:41

-..where

-he's been honing his skills.

0:08:410:08:44

-I can't see anyone beating him.

0:08:440:08:46

-I can't see anyone beating him.

-

-He's first to finish.

0:08:460:08:48

-16.8 seconds. Incredible!

0:08:480:08:51

-Experience comes with age but the

-youngster reigned supreme this time.

0:08:540:08:58

-Palsgaard finished

-with a time of 19.57 seconds...

0:09:010:09:05

-..34 seconds ahead of

-Terpstra from the Netherlands...

0:09:050:09:08

-..who took

-twice as long as Simon Bond.

0:09:080:09:11

-Next, the great hope...

0:09:110:09:14

-..against Belgium's blue-eyed boy.

0:09:140:09:17

-This was my favourite event and

-I always like to see how they fare.

0:09:190:09:23

-This event suits tall men, Dafydd.

0:09:240:09:27

-Bergen should finish first here.

0:09:270:09:30

-Perhaps, but the way

-Elgan's using the saw...

0:09:300:09:33

-..is very effective.

0:09:340:09:36

-He won that, fair play.

0:09:360:09:38

-Excellent! 18.18 seconds.

0:09:380:09:41

-Belgium 0, Wales 1.

0:09:430:09:45

-However,

-Elgan wasn't quite as slick as Bond.

0:09:450:09:49

-What a contest.

0:09:490:09:51

-It was very competitive.

0:09:510:09:52

-It was very competitive.

-

-Yes, it was a close contest.

0:09:520:09:55

-Just half a second in it,

-we're told.

0:09:550:09:59

-You had to go easy on him because

-you're staying with him tonight!

0:09:590:10:03

-That's the reason I hold in

-at the end a little bit.

0:10:030:10:07

-I listen, OK, I'm done!

0:10:080:10:10

-They might be competitive

-but they're the best of friends.

0:10:110:10:15

-There's very little separating them.

-Bergen moves up one place.

0:10:150:10:19

-Simon Bond wins the event

-and rises to fifth position...

0:10:190:10:23

-..just two points

-behind his master, Andrew Evans.

0:10:230:10:26

-Almost halfway

-through the competition...

0:10:270:10:30

-..and last year's champion,

-Elgan Pugh, is in the lead.

0:10:310:10:34

-There's a long way to go,

-so join us after the break...

0:10:340:10:38

-..for the remaining events.

0:10:380:10:40

-All I need now is an axe

-and I'll chop this down in a flash!

-Welcome back to Woodfest Wales

-and the Championship 5 event.

0:10:550:10:59

-Some of the world's best axemen

-and lumberjacks are competing.

0:10:590:11:03

-A man from Nefyn is proving that

-it's not only a young man's sport.

0:11:030:11:07

-Let me introduce you to the Hough.

0:11:080:11:10

-Oh, no, not David, but Terry.

0:11:100:11:13

-I try to come here twice a week.

0:11:160:11:19

-It's a forest that was once felled

-but has since regrown.

0:11:200:11:24

-As you can see, I can make

-as much noise and mess as I like...

0:11:250:11:28

-..without bothering anyone.

0:11:290:11:31

-My neighbour'd complain

-if I did it in my own backyard.

0:11:310:11:34

-I practise on Corsican pine.

0:11:380:11:41

-It's harder than poplar,

-the timber we compete with.

0:11:410:11:45

-When it comes to the shows

-and competitions...

0:11:450:11:48

-..you notice the difference

-with poplar.

0:11:490:11:51

-I'm relatively fit. I feel better

-than I've done in years.

0:11:560:12:00

-I was worried

-about approaching 50 this year...

0:12:010:12:03

-..but the secret is not to sit down

-and watch too much television.

0:12:040:12:08

-The third discipline

-is the underhand chop.

0:12:130:12:16

-Is experience an advantage?

0:12:170:12:18

-Is experience an advantage?

-

-Yes, indeed.

0:12:180:12:20

-Terry is former Welsh champion

-in this event.

0:12:200:12:23

-But it'll be difficult

-challenging the others' strength...

0:12:230:12:27

-..especially with

-this softer timber.

0:12:270:12:30

-Terry Blin (Angry Terry)

-is Hough's nickname.

0:12:330:12:35

-He won't be happy with a score

-of one minute eight seconds.

0:12:360:12:39

-From Nefyn to Belgium -

-Bergen and Palsgaard from Denmark.

0:12:400:12:44

-This looks like a scary event

-because the axe is so sharp...

0:12:480:12:52

-..and it comes

-within inches of their feet.

0:12:530:12:56

-They're very experienced axemen.

0:12:560:12:58

-They're very experienced axemen.

-

-Are there feet protectors available?

0:12:580:13:02

-They're wearing chain mail socks

-inside their shoes.

0:13:020:13:06

-Bergen finishes...

0:13:060:13:08

-..in 28.5 seconds.

0:13:090:13:11

-Bergen's slicing bacon...

0:13:130:13:15

-..while Palsgaard's

-more like Danish pastry.

0:13:150:13:18

-Does your height and long arms

-help in that discipline?

0:13:180:13:22

-I think so. I can accelerate

-with the axe and it is fast.

0:13:220:13:26

-Andrew Evans of Bethesda has muscly

-arms though they're much shorter.

0:13:260:13:32

-He was in fourth place.

-He won't be much longer!

0:13:320:13:35

-55.3 seconds.

0:13:350:13:38

-The power of the Big Pugh - Elgan's

-brother Dewi does it in 35 seconds.

0:13:380:13:43

-Well done!

0:13:440:13:46

-It was a relatively favourable log.

0:13:460:13:48

-How can you tell?

0:13:480:13:50

-I could tell

-there was water within the timber.

0:13:500:13:54

-It looked as if it was going

-to slice, and it did. I was lucky.

0:13:540:13:58

-Next is Bond, Simon Bond...

0:13:580:14:02

-..and Little Pugh, Elgan,

-a battle for first place.

0:14:030:14:06

-These two

-are the best in the country.

0:14:090:14:13

-There's no love lost

-within this competitive arena.

0:14:130:14:16

-They both want to win.

-There's no holding back.

0:14:170:14:20

-Simon's strong, he's turned

-before Elgan. He's going to win.

0:14:210:14:24

-Simon's giving the timber

-a good strike.

0:14:260:14:29

-Elgan's hit a knot

-which stops the timber splitting.

0:14:300:14:33

-Great win for Simon.

0:14:340:14:35

-Bond. The man with the golden gun.

0:14:390:14:41

-It's been a good day. You've won

-two out of the three events.

0:14:410:14:45

-And you beat Elgan, the favourite.

0:14:460:14:48

-And you beat Elgan, the favourite.

-

-It's always a good thing to do that.

0:14:480:14:50

-You weren't happy

-with the wood, Elgan.

0:14:500:14:54

-Sometimes you get good timber...

0:14:540:14:57

-..other times the wood can be

-knotty, which makes it harder.

0:14:570:15:01

-I think I still came third,

-so I can't complain too much.

0:15:010:15:06

-Yes, he came third.

0:15:060:15:08

-Elgan, the 2015 champion,

-retains the top spot...

0:15:080:15:12

-..though he's now

-only three points clear.

0:15:120:15:15

-After winning another event,

-Simon Bond rises two places.

0:15:160:15:19

-There are only two disciplines left

-and things are hotting up.

0:15:200:15:23

-If their nerves are jangling

-at the top of the table...

0:15:250:15:29

-..I wouldn't like to guess

-how they feel at the top of a pole.

0:15:290:15:32

-Mind you, it's a good opportunity

-for a selfie!

0:15:370:15:40

-Wales haven't beaten New Zealand

-at rugby since 1953...

0:15:480:15:51

-..despite every effort.

0:15:520:15:53

-Remember Grannygate?

0:15:540:15:55

-Graham Henry persuading Kiwis

-to don the red jersey?

0:15:560:15:59

-Gwynedd Axemen have done that too,

-but their Maori speaks Welsh.

0:15:590:16:03

-I'm Bill Huaki

-and I cut trees with Gwynedd Axemen.

0:16:060:16:10

-I'm not tall, I'm not heavy...

0:16:120:16:14

-..I'm just a short old man!

0:16:140:16:16

-Clwyd Axemen needn't worry at all.

0:16:170:16:19

-While I was playing rugby league

-in Australia...

0:16:250:16:28

-..I bumped into Andrew Evans

-from Bethesda.

0:16:280:16:31

-He came to play for my team

-and we became friends.

0:16:310:16:35

-After that

-I went to play rugby in London.

0:16:360:16:41

-Andrew phoned me up and said,

-"Come to South Wales...

0:16:410:16:46

-"..and play rugby for us" -

-it was a slippery slope after that!

0:16:460:16:50

-The camaraderie's really good.

0:16:500:16:53

-You compete alone,

-though teamwork is required...

0:16:530:16:57

-..and then you have a few beers

-after the comp.

0:16:580:17:01

-The skills required are

-eye-hand co-ordination and stamina.

0:17:020:17:07

-You really have to concentrate...

0:17:070:17:10

-..because the axe

-is sharper than rugby boots!

0:17:100:17:13

-True enough, but the fourth

-discipline, the stock saw...

0:17:160:17:20

-..is extremely dangerous, Dafydd.

0:17:200:17:23

-Yes, but it's safer

-than using the saw in the forest.

0:17:240:17:27

-This is only time competitors can

-use the chainsaw without gloves...

0:17:270:17:32

-..in a competitive arena.

0:17:320:17:34

-The Kiwi Huaki

-against the Dutchman Terpstra...

0:17:370:17:41

-..otherwise known as Bill and Ben.

0:17:410:17:43

-Notice there's a black outline

-on the block.

0:17:440:17:49

-Competitors must saw two complete

-circles out of the timber...

0:17:490:17:53

-..within that black line.

0:17:530:17:56

-Terpstra's in the lead.

0:17:560:17:58

-Bill's usually better, though he's

-still good, but Ben's overtaken him.

0:17:590:18:04

-Yes, 18.28 seconds.

0:18:040:18:06

-He who would be a leader,

-let him be a bridge!

0:18:080:18:11

-In other words, Ben trounces Bill.

0:18:110:18:13

-Bill's old sidekick, Andrew,

-falls back even further.

0:18:150:18:19

-21.35 seconds.

0:18:190:18:21

-Every point and every second counts.

0:18:210:18:24

-Simon Bond

-is the slowest with 21.7 seconds.

0:18:240:18:27

-Bergen from Belgium is no better.

0:18:280:18:30

-The pair will be disappointed.

0:18:310:18:33

-The pair will be disappointed.

-

-How was that for you, David?

0:18:330:18:34

-It was exciting

-because it's a machine I never use.

0:18:350:18:39

-A new machine

-is always a little bit...

0:18:390:18:42

-The last competitors

-are Brian Palsgaard of Denmark...

0:18:420:18:46

-..against Elgan Pugh,

-and a chance for the Welshman...

0:18:460:18:51

-..to retain the title.

0:18:510:18:53

-This is a great race

-between two of the best in Europe.

0:18:550:18:58

-They're very technical,

-and it's imperative for Elgan...

0:18:580:19:03

-..to have a good restart.

0:19:030:19:05

-And he has.

-The restart was very slick.

0:19:050:19:09

-That was so smooth. If he wins this,

-then it'll all be down to that.

0:19:090:19:14

-And he's done it.

-19.68 seconds. Superb!

0:19:140:19:18

-It's those precious seconds

-that count in the end.

0:19:200:19:24

-It was vital you did well

-to retain the lead.

0:19:260:19:29

-I'm relatively happy but it all

-depends on the others' times.

0:19:290:19:35

-Only four seconds separating

-Terpstra and the last competitor.

0:19:350:19:40

-Elgan was fifth, but he did so much

-better than 10th-place Bergen...

0:19:400:19:44

-..and 13th-place Bond.

0:19:440:19:46

-He extends his lead by eight points

-going into the final event.

0:19:460:19:51

-This is the final event, Alun.

-Take us through it.

0:19:590:20:04

-This emulates the way a tree falls.

0:20:040:20:06

-Elgan is quite a whiz at this.

0:20:060:20:10

-So you're crossing your fingers

-for a Welsh win?

0:20:100:20:13

-Yes. It won't be me,

-I'm too far down the line...

0:20:140:20:17

-..but I'll still try my best.

0:20:170:20:20

-Good luck.

0:20:200:20:22

-The final event is the standing

-block chop. What's the secret here?

0:20:250:20:29

-I'd look for

-the correct style and technique.

0:20:290:20:32

-They'll hope that there are no

-knots in the timber to hinder them.

0:20:330:20:38

-For a 58-year-old man, Alun finished

-with a respectable 1.05 minutes.

0:20:410:20:46

-The Hough, eight years his junior,

-finishes nine seconds faster.

0:20:460:20:51

-I'm sure a puffing Dewi Pugh

-was pleased to make it to the bar.

0:20:520:20:55

-Bill the Kiwi finished in 48.13.

0:20:560:21:00

-David the Belgian

-kept up the pressure on Elgan.

0:21:010:21:04

-As did Simon Bond,

-who was back to form.

0:21:050:21:08

-39.42 seconds.

0:21:090:21:10

-It's not been too bad

-winning two events.

0:21:110:21:13

-Hopefully it's put pressure on

-the top boys to pick their game up.

0:21:140:21:18

-Time for the axemen's final battle.

0:21:190:21:23

-Can Elgan retain his advantage?

0:21:230:21:26

-I'm fairly confident

-but lots of things can go wrong.

0:21:270:21:30

-Like what?

0:21:300:21:32

-Like what?

-

-There might be a big knot within.

0:21:320:21:35

-That's the biggest danger.

0:21:350:21:38

-But if I chop

-quite steadily and neatly...

0:21:380:21:42

-..I should be alright.

0:21:420:21:44

-Good luck.

0:21:440:21:45

-Good luck.

-

-Thank you.

0:21:450:21:47

-You're always going to need luck.

0:21:470:21:50

-The most important thing here

-is that Elgan keeps his head.

0:21:500:21:54

-I'm sure he will. It's been

-a long day of competitions.

0:21:540:21:58

-He's close to victory

-but he has to keep his head.

0:21:580:22:02

-He's being challenged

-by the Danish champion.

0:22:020:22:05

-He has to persevere.

0:22:060:22:08

-Both have turned together.

0:22:080:22:11

-It's blow versus blow,

-but who'll cut it off?

0:22:110:22:14

-Elgan's done it.

0:22:140:22:15

-Elgan's done it.

-

-That was remarkable.

0:22:150:22:17

-He's retained that high standard

-for five events. Well done.

0:22:180:22:22

-Elgan is champion once again.

0:22:240:22:27

-And here's the confirmation.

0:22:280:22:30

-Elgan Pugh from Clwyd Axemen...

0:22:300:22:32

-..13 points

-ahead of Belgian David Bergen...

0:22:330:22:36

-..who's staying with him tonight.

0:22:360:22:38

-The pints are on the Pughs!

0:22:380:22:41

-Palsgaard of Denmark and Bond

-of Wales share the bronze medal.

0:22:410:22:46

-Silver for Bergen, but gold

-for the Welshman, Elgan Pugh.

0:22:470:22:51

-Well done, Elgan,

-you've defended your title.

0:22:530:22:56

-You must be very happy.

0:22:570:22:58

-You must be very happy.

-

-Yes, I'm very happy.

0:22:580:23:00

-How would you describe

-the competition as a whole?

0:23:000:23:03

-It's been

-one heck of a successful contest.

0:23:030:23:06

-A few events were closely contested

-but I'm very happy.

0:23:060:23:11

-Will you come back next year?

0:23:110:23:13

-Definitely.

0:23:140:23:15

-Definitely.

-

-Go and join your fellow competitors.

0:23:150:23:19

-It's been a fantastic day

-and a successful competition.

0:23:190:23:23

-I hope we'll see you next time. From

-all of us in Flintshire, goodbye.
