0:00:02 > 0:00:04The Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

0:00:04 > 0:00:09For 186 miles, it winds its way through secret coves,

0:00:09 > 0:00:11past majestic beaches

0:00:11 > 0:00:12and over awe-inspiring cliffs.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17It regenerates our batteries cos you can get out of the rat race

0:00:17 > 0:00:18and you can just walk.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21God's own country here.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22I'm very lucky.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Even on a winter's day when it's cold and miserable,

0:00:25 > 0:00:26this still looks beautiful.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Throughout the hot summer of 2013,

0:00:29 > 0:00:31we followed the lives of the locals who live,

0:00:31 > 0:00:34work and play in this Welsh paradise.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39CHEERING

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Oh, my God.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43What's happened to you, Mum?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45This is their summer.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47This is their story.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57Coming up, Pembrokeshire turns really wild for path food.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01This is called ivy leaf toadflax. You're not obliged to like it...

0:01:01 > 0:01:03and you can spit it out.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06The James family get in shape for a big wedding.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I am the best yoyo dieter that I know.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12I could write a book on how to do it.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16And recycling guru Buzz Knapp-Fisher gets his Fairy Cafe

0:01:16 > 0:01:19ready for the summer walkers.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23It's the best thing I've ever found from the skip. It's brilliant.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33It's May and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is bursting into life.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41At St David's in the north of the county wild food forager

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Julia Horton-Powdrill is making plans.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49We're just going to go on a bit of the Coastal Path

0:01:49 > 0:01:52between St Non's and Caerfai to go and do a bit of foraging

0:01:52 > 0:01:54that's actually on the coastline.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59And...it's for the Really Wild Food Festival.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04We have about 80 stalls of people coming, which is

0:02:04 > 0:02:06quite a number, really.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11And then we have to coordinate volunteers and security.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Putting up posters around all the shops and leaflets and so on.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18It's...pretty nonstop. Wow.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21What a fabulous view.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24With her Really Wild Food Festival around the corner,

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Julia is visiting her larder for inspiration.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34This is Caerfai. This is one of my favourite beaches.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I don't suppose many people would realise how

0:02:36 > 0:02:40much there is you can pick on the Coastal Path that's edible.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46You'll see, along here, Alexanders, which is now coming into flower.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49The Romans were responsible for bringing Alexanders over.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's really called parsley of Alexandria.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53You can...

0:02:53 > 0:02:57use the stems like that and you can steam them...

0:02:57 > 0:02:58rather like you would asparagus,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00and then you would put butter on it

0:03:00 > 0:03:04and that makes a really nice vegetable.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Everybody recognises these, the good old stinging nettle,

0:03:10 > 0:03:14which if you hold tight, you can pick without stinging yourself.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16And they are the most fantastic food.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I've just made a load of stinging nettle quiches,

0:03:19 > 0:03:20which are great fun actually.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23But the sting does go out of them when you cook with them.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26You just pick the top few leaves off with gloves, usually,

0:03:26 > 0:03:28and you're left with those.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31It tastes quite...iron-y.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Grasp it tightly, like that...

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Fab.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43If you have a man with a rather flagging part of his anatomy,

0:03:43 > 0:03:47you can actually beat it with nettles and that will bring the blood

0:03:47 > 0:03:49to surface and make your life very happy again.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50So, it's nature's Viagra.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Do you want a go? SHE LAUGHS

0:03:53 > 0:03:57SHEEP BLEATS

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Eight miles south, fisherman Johno Voyce

0:04:05 > 0:04:08and deck hand Ben Lawrence are off from Solva to get fresh

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Pembrokeshire crab and lobster to sell at Julia's festival.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14We're going to go up and have a nice jolly round Ramsey.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17We haven't had weather like this for a long time now.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30From the Coastal Path you don't get to see this beauty.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Even on a winter's day when it's cold and miserable,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35this still looks beautiful.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Have you caught anything yet? - Yeah.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41A couple of mackerel?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It doesn't matter what you do for a living now, nothing's easy.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47And if you can make a living doing this then we're very lucky.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48But it's getting difficult.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51All the costs are going up, the price isn't improving,

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Spain's having a hard time and that's where 90% of the fish go.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59But Johno is on a mission to get the locals

0:04:59 > 0:05:01and holiday-makers eating his catch.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05The Really Wild Food Festival, it's just to bring in a load

0:05:05 > 0:05:09of everything that's local and people can get the taste of Pembrokeshire,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12so people appreciate what we've got in these waters.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17That's John's favourite bit of the job - his cup of tea.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21The fresh Pembrokeshire waters are teeming with lobster.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Here we are. Look.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25That's the first lobster we've seen.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28But not all that Johno catches can be kept.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31That goes back.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33The size of a lobster has to be 90 mil.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36We measure from the eye to the back of the body.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38If it's not 90 mil, it goes back.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41That one's in. You live in hope.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Every pot's different and I think that's the beauty of it.

0:05:44 > 0:05:51# My heart breaks as you take your long journey... #

0:05:57 > 0:06:00It takes a dedicated ten-man team of park wardens to maintain

0:06:00 > 0:06:04the 186-miles of Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09And come rain or shine,

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Ozzie Duffy and his colleague Rich Hughes are hard at work...

0:06:13 > 0:06:15after breakfast, that is.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17HE LAUGHS

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Yeah, Rich is partial to a doughnut.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm working on getting Ozzie a bit rounder.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24He quite often has a cake.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm getting there. But all jokes aside,

0:06:27 > 0:06:30you've got to be a bit fit to be doing this as well like, you know.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32A lot of walking, isn't it?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Today there are at Milford Haven, where the

0:06:35 > 0:06:38path passes the heavy industry of the oil refinery.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46First cut of the season.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Obviously there is not an awful lot of growth

0:06:48 > 0:06:50because of the time of the year.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53You see something different every day.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's the thing - it's so diverse.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58The Coast Path gets cut twice-a-year.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Dream job.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Nobody else has got an office window like this, have they?- No.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's amazing to think we're out there in the wilds

0:07:09 > 0:07:11and we've just come down to this.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14You couldn't get any more industrial than this place.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16And yet, in there, it's like a nature reserve.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19It's just unbelievable how it mixes in, you know.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22It's the blend of the old and the new.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26I think it's the third busiest port in Britain...

0:07:26 > 0:07:29because it's such a deep water haven you can get tankers in and out.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I can remember when none of this refinery were here.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Can you?- Yeah.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36This was built in '64, wasn't it?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Don't ask me, I wasn't around then. - BOTH LAUGH

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Did you say you used to swim across? - Swan across with my sister, yeah,

0:07:42 > 0:07:43from Milford Bridge.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Bet you couldn't swim it now. - No, I couldn't do it now.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55In the north of the county, just off Strumble Head,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57lies the tiny hamlet of Llanwnda.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01There you will find the Fairy Cafe,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03a stop-off for tired coastal walkers...

0:08:05 > 0:08:08..run by Buzz and Arona Knapp-Fisher and their daughter Millie.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21That's the best thing I've ever found from a skip. It's brilliant.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28We have travellers from all around the world that pop in here

0:08:28 > 0:08:31and they make themselves some tea or coffee or something,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34then leave a donation and...

0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's a brilliant way to network and chat to people,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41because it is an unusual stop.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45It's unofficial and so we always get people who are slightly...got

0:08:45 > 0:08:47something in common with.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49And they see the magic of the Coast Path.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51They see the magic of Pembrokeshire.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53And I suppose I was brought up with eccentric people,

0:08:53 > 0:08:57like the lady who made fudge down the road that apparently used to

0:08:57 > 0:08:59clean the trays and stuff with spit.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04I don't know how true that was, but it didn't stop us buying the fudge.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09Going back in time, not all visitors to Llanwnda have been friendly.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Where we are here at the moment was occupied territory.

0:09:13 > 0:09:19So in 1797, it was occupied by a gang of people,

0:09:19 > 0:09:24the French mixed with Irish rebels to start the Welsh revolution,

0:09:24 > 0:09:30and as I'm into a revolution in terms of...the future

0:09:30 > 0:09:32and the way we need to change in a peaceful sense,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35I think it's rather fitting that we live here.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I was sneaking around this place before I met Buzz, thinking,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53"What a curious little place it was."

0:09:53 > 0:09:56But when I moved in, Buzz had his old car in here as a garage.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59We just lived upstairs in that one room.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02We've got quadruple glazing and just waste wood,

0:10:02 > 0:10:04and found objects,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06even the TV we were given.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Buzz is a man with many plans and all involve recycling.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16This is the Electric Kitten cos basically it's a Reliant Fox,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19or a Reliant Kitten, and...

0:10:19 > 0:10:22this is our project, the electric car project.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's decorated using aluminium cans,

0:10:25 > 0:10:26more for fun that anything else.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29But also it's bringing awareness of aircraft-quality aluminium

0:10:29 > 0:10:32and they're just throwing it away, which I think is bonkers.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38But there's just one thing missing from the Fairy Cafe.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Time for Buzz to find a tap and make some modifications.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45This is for the cafe.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, we can get one of these taps off and I can then stick them

0:10:48 > 0:10:50into the sink.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think we'll just grab onto it enough, but...

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I haven't got the big enough spanner. HE LAUGHS

0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's just too short!

0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's just...

0:11:03 > 0:11:05The nature of doing stuff from junk.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11- But luckily Buzz has more than one old tap in stock.- There we go.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14That's a rather nice brass tap as well.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17So, we'll fix that into the cafe now.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Ah, that's it.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Ah, movement. It works!

0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, the plan is that...

0:11:28 > 0:11:32The people, friends, that come into our home, which are the walkers

0:11:32 > 0:11:34and all invited in, means that...

0:11:34 > 0:11:38They can then do the washing up as well,

0:11:38 > 0:11:40so...

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Tea, cake, donation and washing up.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44HE LAUGHS

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Perfect business strategy!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50As Buzz continues to wrestle with his plumbing...

0:11:51 > 0:11:54..20 miles south on St David's Head,

0:11:54 > 0:11:55father and daughter Les

0:11:55 > 0:11:59and Nat James are busy feeding the animals at Treginnis.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Shall we deal with these pigs first? - Yeah.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04But this is no run-of-the-mill farm.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Bit hot for you, isn't it?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Farms for City Children is a charity set up to give

0:12:09 > 0:12:13pupils from inner city schools experience of country life.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's a mucky job, getting all the poo out of their feet.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18And looking after the day-to-day running is

0:12:18 > 0:12:20the job of the James family.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Do 18 Months first then.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26That pig's called 18 Months there cos she's only got a year and a half.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28That's how they got the name there.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Come on then, Coochy. This is Cooch, over here.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34So, we've got to get a bigger gate to stop him coming out,

0:12:34 > 0:12:38cos he comes out and he opens up all the doors with his snout.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41And most of these hens here, they've been rescued.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43They were going off for chicken nuggets.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46For dad Les, it's the dream job.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Fabulous.

0:12:48 > 0:12:53I packed in the milk round, I got fed up after all those years,

0:12:53 > 0:12:55but haven't looked back since.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00I think I've got the best job in St David's. I think!

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Yeah, it's good.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04And she knows the routine because she's been born and bred on the farm.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07No arguments yet. Not yet.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13The farm have just had two new residents move in...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15and they're a rare ancient breed.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18So, this is Gavin and Stacey.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19But she's...

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yeah, she is nearly close.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- We've never had iron age piglets here, have we?- No.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27How many do you reckon she'll have?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29No more than six.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30It won't be today but...

0:13:31 > 0:13:33By the weekend, I think.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38But Stacey isn't the only one with a big event around the corner.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42In just six weeks' time, Nat is getting married to fiance Dan.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48And mum Cath is in full planning mode.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49I think I'm organised.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I think so. Photographer came yesterday.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, we met the vicar, went round the cathedral.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59And I thought, "Oh, my God, this is very real now."

0:13:59 > 0:14:01So, yeah, great excitement.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Cath's...what's that word, Nat?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06She's...

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- She's not domineering yet, but... - She's on a mission.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Just stay away from her.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'm trying to be really organised so that I won't be a nightmare,

0:14:16 > 0:14:18having the screaming ab dabs and...

0:14:19 > 0:14:22This will be the first wedding at the farm

0:14:22 > 0:14:26and Cath is determined to make Nat's dream day come true.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Nat has always said,

0:14:28 > 0:14:31"When I get married I want a marquee down the farm."

0:14:33 > 0:14:35That's what she wanted.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38That's what she wanted. That's what she's going to get.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Time for Nat and Les to roll their sleeves up

0:14:41 > 0:14:43and get the place looking tidy for the big day.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's lovely having it looking lovely and especially for the summer

0:14:48 > 0:14:50when there's visitors walking through the yard.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57I've played rugby with Dan before I knew him.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I must admit, he's brilliant, yeah. Superb.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02You wouldn't have want of a better son-in-law.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05One, because he's a mechanic! HE LAUGHS

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Today's changeover day. The school left this morning. Sorry!

0:15:11 > 0:15:14And we've got another school coming in now. That's how busy it is.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's...

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Don't have time for dinner, really.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21My side's better than yours.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- I haven't finished. - Yeah, you have.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27As Les and Nat continue whitewashing the farm,

0:15:27 > 0:15:30just a mile away, things have got competitive on the Jessie Lou.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36Johno and Ben are out to catch the first mackerel of the season.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Whenever we stop for mackerel, it's a

0:15:38 > 0:15:40pound for the first mackerel between us, or a pint,

0:15:40 > 0:15:42and so it's always a rush.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44We drop the lines at the same time, we both start fishing,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47and then that's it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50This is my favourite type of fishing.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Hand line for mackerel - there's nothing better.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57We haven't had a mackerel yet.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00He catches more but I know more.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Before Ben and I catch it, it costs me

0:16:02 > 0:16:06more in beer than what I have lost in bets over mackerel.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09This one feels better.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Oh, no, it's gone. - I think with wet fish,

0:16:11 > 0:16:13a lot of people get put off with the fact that,

0:16:13 > 0:16:17"I don't like to see its eyes. I don't like to see its head."

0:16:18 > 0:16:20A lot of people don't like bones.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Unfortunately, we can't sell jellyfish.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Yeah!

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Oh, I've got a good one. I've got two.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28John, man!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- I win the pint!- No, you don't.- I do!

0:16:31 > 0:16:32Landed first.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34HE LAUGHS

0:16:34 > 0:16:36First mackerel of the year - it's beautiful.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41That feels good.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45With the fish reeling in, the boys have had a successful day.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51And the catch is ready to sell at the Really Wild Food Festival.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Back at Treginnis Farm,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Les and Nat have finished the whitewashing just in time.

0:17:12 > 0:17:1438 children and their teachers

0:17:14 > 0:17:17have arrived from Cardiff for a week's stay.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Hiya. All right?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21- That's just been done now.- Fantastic.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Before and after. Look at that.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Nobody noticed? - Oh, sorry. Sorry.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30But before they get to grips with the animals,

0:17:30 > 0:17:34the children have to gather for Les' welcome talk.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37We're going to have a fantastic week. Any horsey people here?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Who remembers Tinkle last year?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41The little pony? The small one?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44OK. She's got a sore throat. She's a little hoarse(!)

0:17:44 > 0:17:46While Les continues his stand up,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48wife Cath is in the farm house.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50With Nat and Dan's wedding around the corner,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52she's battling with her diet.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I could do with being a bit smaller.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57SHE LAUGHS

0:17:57 > 0:17:59..but there we are. Who cares?

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I am the best yoyo dieter that I know.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Absolutely the best. I could write a book on how to do it.

0:18:08 > 0:18:14I desperately wanted to be in the 13 stone bracket.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Dun-dun-da!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- BLEEP- a brick. 14.6.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25How much can I equate for these clothes?!

0:18:27 > 0:18:29As Cath battles with her diet...

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Ozzie has arrived home from another day tending to the Path.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34No way!

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Back to the love of his life.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43They should all come in now.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44Come on!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Come on then!

0:18:50 > 0:18:54I've had pigeons since I was ten years of age.

0:18:54 > 0:18:5645 years.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Proper racing pigeons, these are.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Bred down over the years, these are, like.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04But it's only in the last sort of eight or nine years I've raced them.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Some people love them. Some people hate them.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Er...

0:19:09 > 0:19:13I've just got a thing about them. I've always liked birds.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16And I've got a thing about how they get back home,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19and I don't think anybody knows how they get back home.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22As educated as everybody is, there's so many different things.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Some people are saying it's the sun.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Some...

0:19:26 > 0:19:29But it's an instinct built in them.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31I think they're quite intelligent.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34I mean, if I was chucked up in the middle of France with no map

0:19:34 > 0:19:37or compass or GPS or whatever,

0:19:37 > 0:19:40how would I know my way home?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Come on. Come on, big boys.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Competition is fierce between the Pembrokeshire pigeon racers.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50And I can't show you any secrets in this bin cos somebody might see them.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52See it on the telly, like.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54You know what it's like, there's a lot of rivalry.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57And with the first race of the season a week away,

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Ozzie has his reputation to live up to.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03This is the one that one the Federation.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06This came first out of the whole of west Wales.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09There it is there.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13But they are... Between my work and the pigeons...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18..I haven't got time for my wife. HE LAUGHS

0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's the day before the Really Wild Food Festival,

0:20:24 > 0:20:28and event director and food forager Julia Horton-Powdrill is

0:20:28 > 0:20:30organising the troops.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Er... No, this side. Back it right back against there.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36As long as they can get round, obviously, to see these guys here.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40This is the festival's ninth year, but the first time it's been

0:20:40 > 0:20:43held at the Bishop's Palace at St David's Cathedral.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46For Julia, here dream hangs on the success

0:20:46 > 0:20:49of the event at its new location,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52but already there's a problem.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54The people who are bringing all the tradesmen's tents,

0:20:54 > 0:20:57or market tents, whatever you like to call them,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59have got lost somewhere near Carmarthen.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03So, they're two or three hours behind time, which is great(!)

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Meanwhile, Johno has arrived to prep his fish stall.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17We have a really good quality product. We have nice crab,

0:21:17 > 0:21:19good lobster. And I think the big problem with people not trying

0:21:19 > 0:21:21is they don't know how to dress a crab,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24they don't know how to dress a lobster, and it puts them off.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27So, I think we're going to try and promote dressing crabs,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29getting people to not be frightened of it,

0:21:29 > 0:21:31and to make it look nice on a plate for them.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36As Johno sets up,

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Julia gets an update on the lost lorry full of display tents.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Yeah. They got as far as Haverfordwest from

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Carmarthen now, where they got lost.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Now they're in Haverfordwest, but they think they're in St David's.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Brian said, apparently, "Can you see a sign that say's St David's?"

0:21:51 > 0:21:55And they said, "No." They've a little bit further to come.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Finally, Julia receives some good news.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Oh. That's my bum talking.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10I've only just worked out how to use these.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13The display tents have arrived at the Cathedral...

0:22:13 > 0:22:15four hours late.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25The stall providers have at last arrived I think with some

0:22:25 > 0:22:28difficulty trying to get in through the gate as well,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30so it's not without drama.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33- Hi.- Are you all right?

0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'm all right. I'm Julia.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38You've got here. You had a bit of a circuitous route.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Never mind, you're here now. So, anyway, you've got lots of helpers.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45See? Look. Gagging...to help.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48If this is the top row...

0:22:48 > 0:22:52With the tents having arrived, it's all hands to the pump to get

0:22:52 > 0:22:55the Bishops Palace ready for the festival tomorrow.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57These are facing this way.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Back-to-back with this.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01No. Take that one away then.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Er... Actually, you needn't have gone over there cos you're just double

0:23:06 > 0:23:08handling it. We want them behind, don't we?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10So, I'm trying to keep them all...

0:23:10 > 0:23:12They haven't done that.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14I think perhaps I'll just let everyone else do it.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16SHE LAUGHS

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I've had a really good band of helpers, actually.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Our Really Wild team has been amazing, so... And still are amazing.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I have to say that because we've still got quite a few hours to

0:23:25 > 0:23:28go tonight. Probably midnight job, I should think, probably.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Back in Llanwnda, Buzz is hard at work.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Erm...

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm a bit behind with things.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Just got to get the toilet done first, start the eco lodge,

0:23:45 > 0:23:49but really quite pleased with the progress of the electric car.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52It doesn't need much, other than batteries and the lamps

0:23:52 > 0:23:54and a break leak.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56And put a second lynch motor in.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59They wanted to charge £100 for some very small little head lamps,

0:23:59 > 0:24:02so now I'm sort of making them

0:24:02 > 0:24:06and they look a lot better than the rather dull 1970s originals.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm making a bracket for that.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11They should be nearly ready for the MOT...

0:24:11 > 0:24:14hopefully this summer, which will mean most probably wintertime.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20It's getting there. HE LAUGHS

0:24:20 > 0:24:22But plans for the electric car are on hold

0:24:22 > 0:24:26while Buzz tries to get running water in his Fairy Cafe,

0:24:26 > 0:24:30a stop-off for tired, thirsty coastal walkers.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33After coming across an old tap in his yard,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Buzz has finally made progress,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38diverting water from his trusty ancient well.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46It's gravity-fed, pressure's a bit low, but fantastic cos it means

0:24:46 > 0:24:49we don't have to go outside to do the washing up,

0:24:49 > 0:24:50which we used to have to do.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Or fill the kettle.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54And the guests, better still, they wash up.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56We just need customers!

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Or guests, so we can get round health and safety.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21The sun is shining on St David's Cathedral

0:25:21 > 0:25:23and after months of planning,

0:25:23 > 0:25:25the doors have opened for Julia Horton-Powdrill's

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Really Wild Food Festival.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31The public are lapping up the chance to sample Pembrokeshire's

0:25:31 > 0:25:33wild food and local produce.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39For the kids, never ever eat anything that you think you can just eat.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Always ask Mummy or Daddy first because it's so important,

0:25:42 > 0:25:44because you can be poisoned by things. So, just pick...

0:25:44 > 0:25:47This is fine. Just pick one of these little leaves.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50This is called ivy leave toadflax.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53You don't have to eat anything that I'm going to point out...

0:25:54 > 0:25:56..and you're not obliged to like it.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57And you can spit it out.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00So, I'm really not offended if people go, "God, that's awful."

0:26:00 > 0:26:02And...this is goose grass, cleavers...

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Sticky willy.- Sticky willy!

0:26:05 > 0:26:07See.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Sorry. Daren't get any lower. SHE LAUGHS

0:26:12 > 0:26:15The event is pulling in the crowds and Julia's gamble to hold

0:26:15 > 0:26:18it at the Bishop's Palace seems to be paying off.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Johno has stocked his stall

0:26:22 > 0:26:26and it out to entice the public to buy his Pembrokeshire seafood.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31We've got two portions of dressed crab,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34four portions of sustainable fish and a cooked dressed lobster.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36But not everyone is biting.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38For one person...

0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's all fresh. You can freeze it.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- And how much would that cost? - £35.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45That's too expensive.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Fresh fish is expensive,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51but they don't realise the costs of catching it,

0:26:51 > 0:26:53the labour that goes into it.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56And I don't think £35 for a box is an awful

0:26:56 > 0:27:00lot of money for everything prepped, dressed, ready to go.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01You got to a supermarket,

0:27:01 > 0:27:05you pay a lot more for it than what you do here.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07# When the weather's fine

0:27:07 > 0:27:10# We go fishing or go swimming in the sea... #

0:27:10 > 0:27:13But as the afternoon winds on, the public flood in.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19How many are you looking at? Or how many of you are there?

0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Well...- And Johno's fortunes change as he reels in the punters.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24There we go.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27That's £9.50 then, please.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Brown and the white meat mixed together...

0:27:29 > 0:27:32with a little bit of sweet chilli sauce.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Just to give it a little bit of a bite.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Thank you. There's the wraps.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45All in all, yes, I think it's been a successful festival for us.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47And I think next year we'll come back and maybe try

0:27:47 > 0:27:48and do a fish barbecue...

0:27:49 > 0:27:52..if I can catch enough.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56So as the sun goes down, Julia finally gets time to take

0:27:56 > 0:27:59a breather and reflect on how the festival has gone.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Today's been fantastic. Actually, it's been an amazing weekend.

0:28:04 > 0:28:09We've had... I was hoping we'd have 3,500 people. that would have made me

0:28:09 > 0:28:11a happy person. But actually we've had over 5,000,

0:28:11 > 0:28:14which has been incredible actually,

0:28:14 > 0:28:17and it's all worked amazingly well.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Lots of happy people. Lots of people selling lots of things and...

0:28:20 > 0:28:22the weather's been perfect for two days.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26So, it's the start of us being here all the time, I hope.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Next time...- 32.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34..Ozzie sends his pigeons into battle.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Nervous time now, Tony.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40A Pembrokeshire legend has her birthday.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42I haven't drank much, have I?

0:28:42 > 0:28:44LAUGHTER

0:28:44 > 0:28:47And Buzz starts his big summer project.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50We're sort of thinking perhaps loo with a view.
