0:00:20 > 0:00:22This story belongs to Veer
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and his Grandad David.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30It's a tiny tale about Grandad David's life
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and the things he used to do.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Now it's time for him to share his memories
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and take Veer on a journey of discovery.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40HE LAUGHS
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And another good save.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Waah!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Thanks, Veer, for helping me. We need these thick, warm socks.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Now this looks like an adventure!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And this nice warm fleece.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19And we need some sunscreen. OK? Going to put this in our bags.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Have you got your wellies? - Yeah.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Can I have a look?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Oh, that's good.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We're going to do something I used to do when I was a little boy.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We're going to go rambling.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30What's rambling?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Rambling is like going on a big walk.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And sometimes you need a map to find out where you're going to.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And sometimes you need a compass as well.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm going to show you something that I found when I was a little boy.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Can you read the date on this?
0:01:44 > 0:01:50Yep. 1...8...6...2.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53That's right, 1862. And this is my treasure.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Ever since I found this old coin,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I've always been collecting coins and looking for places to find them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Rambling and old coins!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07This sounds like a good old-fashioned treasure hunt!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Look at these old pictures of a country called India.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25It's a very big country which has big, busy cities,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28small villages and lots of countryside too.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33It's the country where Grandad David was born.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36When Grandad David was still a little boy,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38he moved to Cardiff in Wales,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41which is a long way away from India.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49He moved with his parents and brothers and sisters.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Cardiff is a big, busy city...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58which has many interesting places to visit too.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So back to this treasure hunt.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11We're going to need a treasure map.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Trees? Maybe it's a forest?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Water? Maybe it's the sea?!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Veer, what do you think of the treasure map?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Great!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The treasure map is looking good, Veer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Let's get ready to ramble!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So what is rambling?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, rambling is going for a lovely walk in the countryside
0:04:08 > 0:04:10often with family and friends.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Look at these old pictures.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23People have been enjoying rambling for many, many years
0:04:23 > 0:04:27and it's a great way to explore and see all kinds of different things,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29like walking in the woods or climbing a hill.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And you might even see some wild animals.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Are you ready to go rambling, Veer? - Yes!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Can you see the old ruin down by there?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56That's where we need to go.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Shall we have a look at our treasure map and see here we are?- Yep.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06We are here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09And where do we need to go to get to the treasure?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12In through the trees, down the path.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Past the pirate ship? - Yep.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Down to the old broken house? - Yep.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- That's where the treasure is? - Yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Shall we go? - Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Hold onto that.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33When you look from here, it looks like a blue eagle and a red bird.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Watch out for this mud.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So when Grandad David was a small boy,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39he found some treasure when he was out rambling.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I wonder what they may find today?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Well, Veer, can you see the old house just down by there?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Yes, I can.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56- What can you see? - The old window!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Good spotting, Veer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That looks like somewhere that might have treasure.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- What's that, Grandad? - Those are bluebells, V.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Shall we have a look at the map to see how far we came?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19So which way have we got to go now?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We went through the forest,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25then went by the path,
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- we need to go down the path. - Yeah. That's the path just there.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Shall we go? - Yes.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Let's go.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's hard work being a rambler with lots of walking,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44but it's also fantastic to be outside in the fresh air
0:06:44 > 0:06:45with your grandad.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05But, of course, you never know what the weather's going to be like.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The rain is coming down heavily, but Veer and his grandad
0:07:08 > 0:07:11have found a heritage centre to visit in the woods
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and shelter from the rain.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14What a find!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18And it wasn't even on the treasure map!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Look at all these chicks, Veer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24They look like brothers and sisters.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Do you know how many brothers and sisters I've got?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- 13. - That's correct.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33We're six brother and seven sisters.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Wowwee! Look at this old picture of some of Grandad David's brothers
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and sisters taken a long time ago.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44What was it like playing with all those brothers and sisters?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Oh, it was lots of fun, Veer. We had a very big garden
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and when it was raining, we had a table in the garden as well
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and we used to sit underneath the table and pretend we were pirates.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Pirates?! Now that sounds like fun!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Wait till you see who else is at the heritage centre.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Veer, this is Phillip the goat.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Would you like to stroke him? - Yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Hello, Phillip.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Did you know goats sometimes live high up in the mountains?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- No. - That reminds me of a story.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30A couple of years ago, me and your mum,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32we went up high in the Himalaya mountains.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Now long did it take you to go there?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Oh, it took us a very long time.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42We left early in the morning and we got there late in the evening.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It was very high up.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46What did you see at the top of the mountain?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Oh, we had a fantastic view.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You could see the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53And it was covered in snow.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We saw the blue sky and we could see for miles around us.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Oh, wow!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The Himalayas are a huge range of mountains
0:09:09 > 0:09:13that are so big that they reach across a few different countries,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16including India where Grandad David was born.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The Himalayas are a long way from Wales.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24And look how beautiful they are!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Here's a goat climbing up the mountains.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31How did it get up there?!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Grandad David and Veer's mummy Sharon
0:09:37 > 0:09:42walked up a footpath that took them very, very high up a mountain.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The very biggest mountain in the Himalayas is called Mount Everest
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and Grandad David has seen it, but didn't climb it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Only expert mountain climbers can climb Mount Everest.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I wonder what else they might find at the heritage centre?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Veer, when we were small we used to camping all the time
0:10:10 > 0:10:12with my brothers and my friends.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14And sometimes it would be raining
0:10:14 > 0:10:17and we used to just sit inside our tents.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19But sometimes we used to go fishing.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22We used to sit for ages on the sides of the riverbank
0:10:22 > 0:10:25waiting for a fish to come.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Have you caught anything?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30No, I never caught anything at all.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31I wish I did.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Veer, would you like to go fishing?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yes, please!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So Grandad David enjoyed fishing as a young boy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41That sounds like fun.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Let's get back to their treasure hunt.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48And, guess what, it's stopped raining and the sun has come out!
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Time to find that treasure.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Can you see how the sea's coming in and hitting the rocks?- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07There's lots of sand here, isn't it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:13Yeah. But there's not lots of sand here, it's just rocks everywhere.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16This is called Rock Way Out.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- It's slippery. - Almost there.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Water! - Yes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Wow!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29They've arrived at the old house. So where is that treasure?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Shall we have a look on the map and see where we are?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Yeah.- We must be close to the treasure.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Where's the cross, Veer? Where do you think it is?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Here. - X marks the spot!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It must be just by here. Let's have a look.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I can see the treasure.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Where? - On the window!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02That's right. Shall we get the treasure?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- Oh, look at this!- What are they? - Gold coins.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13The pirates left the coins here.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15That's right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Fantastic! Lots of coins too! It looks just like the old coin
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Grandad found when he was a young boy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24But, guess what, they're not real.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26They're made of chocolate!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I think Grandad David and Veer
0:12:34 > 0:12:37will enjoy munching on that chocolate treasure.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39So you want a sweet, Grandad?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Thank you, Veer.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Grandad, thank you for taking me rambling.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Thank you, Veer, for spending time with me on our adventure.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What part do you like the best, Veer?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52The treasure hunt.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Veer, you're a rambler now just like your grandad.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02What a fantastic treasure map you drew.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And we found out all about Grandad's love of rambling
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and got to meet Phillip the goat, too.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Grandad David was right, rambling is good fun.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16So now they can eat their special treasure.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Would you like to come rambling again with me?- Yes.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21That would be cool!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27What a fabulous heap of fun!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30That was Veer and Grandad David's tiny tale
0:13:30 > 0:13:33about the things Grandad David used to do
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and the fun he had and why he has an old coin.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Grandad David has shared his story with Veer
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and now Veer is starting his own story.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Do you know someone who has a story to share?
