-To me...

-..an adventure is something that

-takes me out of my comfort zone.

-It makes me nervous

-as well as excited.

-I haven't done a lot

-of outdoor activities.

-I'm looking forward to competing

-and experiencing the outdoors.

-I'm not your average girl.

-I like mud and the outdoors.

-People underestimate me!

-Winning Ar Y Dibyn

-would be a lifetime achievement.

-I intend to give it my all.

-Go!

-Ten amateur adventurers hope to win

-a prize package worth 10,000.

-It's The Year Of Adventure in Wales.

-The contest

-will be fiercer than ever.

-I, Lowri Morgan, and adventure

-leader, Dilwyn Sanderson-Jones...

-..will push the ten contestants

-to their limits...

-..physically...

-..and mentally...

-..as they test

-their personal limits.

-Who will be the Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion?

-They might think they know

-what to expect. Are you ready?

-They don't have a clue.

-Bootcamp, Day 1 of 7.

-The Snowdonia foothills

-is their home for the week.

-I'm looking for an all-round

-adventurer...

-..a natural leader

-who is comfortable in his own skin.

-Who is a team player?

-Who will crack under pressure?

-I'll push them as far as I can.

-To me, the outdoors

-is a way of life.

-They will live as if

-they're on an adventure expedition.

-Welcome to Yr Helfa bootcamp,

-your home for the next seven days.

-Your main energy source are

-biscuits and freeze dried food.

-I can tell you from experience

-that they are not tasty.

-In the mountains,

-river water is fine to drink.

-Check 50 metres upriver to make sure

-there are no dead sheep there.

-This is your toilet.

-Go wherever you want.

-But don't go to the toilet

-near your water source!

-I can't fit! I'm fine roughing it

-if I'm warm and dry.

-If I'm cold and wet,

-I'll start to complain!

-I'm not bothered about not washing.

-I'm not looking forward to the early

-starts. I like my sleep too much.

-It's a single man tent.

-We only have the bare essentials.

-This is my water and pee pot.

-A hole for poo.

-Shouldn't it be deeper?

-Considering how little we'll eat,

-we won't shit a lot.

-We'll look at their leadership

-and decision-making skills.

-They'll be assessed on the qualities

-needed to be an adventurer.

-This time, we concentrate

-on physical toughness.

-Their first challenge

-is crossing this lake.

-They'll carry their belongings

-and equipment above their heads.

-Crossing water sometimes

-has to be done in the outdoors.

-They must wear the right clothes.

-I'd wear waterproofs, thermals...

-..and remove insoles from boots.

-It's vital to have dry clothes

-to change into the other side.

-This is a challenge for pairs.

-Lewys and Lance are first to go.

-The first challenge is crossing

-from the pole to where I'll be.

-The water could reach up

-to your necks.

-Keep your arms in the air

-so your bag and clothes stay dry.

-You have five minutes to prepare.

-Go!

-They've taken off too many clothes.

-They'd freeze if they crossed

-like this in such cold water.

-I have to step in.

-Can I give you a word of advice?

-Wet weather gear,

-trousers and a top.

-It'll provide some warmth

-in the water.

-Is this wet weather, too?

-Is this wet weather, too?

-

-No.

-Lewys and Lance are ready to cross.

-Good luck.

-Arms straight!

-The adventurers

-have one set of clothes.

-They have to keep them dry.

-They're halfway across the lake.

-Their arms will be burning.

-Arms straight!

-The word adventure

-means taking a leap.

-I wouldn't say

-I'm physically active.

-I'm up for the challenge.

-I hope to learn a lot.

-Ideal, spot on. Lance and Lewys

-took too long to get ready.

-But it was a good effort.

-Next to cross are Richard and Cara.

-Cara gets it right from the start.

-We have waterproofs, too.

-I'm going to change into them.

-For me, an adventure

-is something I haven't done before.

-It pushes me to try something new.

-Richard and Cara did very well.

-They wore the right clothes

-and kept their bags dry.

-James and Helen are next.

-The freezing water

-takes Helen's breath away.

-Oh, my god, it's freezing.

-HELEN SCREAMS

-I enjoy swimming.

-Screaming "It's cold" is typical me.

-Watch the stones.

-People underestimate me

-because I'm a girl...

-..and I'm blonde.

-But when I take things seriously,

-people know it.

-Talk about thrown in the deep end!

-I thought it would be waist high!

-Ifan and Beca also

-cross successfully.

-The final pair

-are Seimon and Sioned.

-They also need some advice.

-You need to wear wet weather gear.

-They're thin but dry quickly.

-They'll provide a little warmth.

-Wear shoes.

-You don't know how stony it is.

-Five minutes! Come on!

-You should be ready by now!

-Sioned needs more help.

-Are they your waterproofs?

-Oh, god!

-You should be halfway across by now!

-Are we ready?

-I'm not great in water.

-I'm not a good swimmer.

-I'll panic if the water is cold.

-I hope there aren't

-many water challenges!

-DILWYN WHISTLES

-Despite being told

-to hold up their bags...

-..the bags

-are dragged through the water.

-Arms right up! The bag is soaking!

-Feel the bag.

-It's soaking.

-You need to learn from that test.

-Thanks.

-Why put the clothes in a bag,

-then get everything wet?

-Waste of time.

-I feel much warmer

-having seen them in the water.

-Did one pair stand out?

-Richard and Cara did very well

-and worked as a team.

-They're the frontrunners.

-They're the frontrunners.

-

-Sioned and Seimon struggled.

-The others kept their bags dry,

-but their bags got wet.

-A failure.

-Bootcamp, Day 1 of 7

-The first challenge is over.

-They must prepare

-for their first night.

-Chilly!

-They're lighting a fire.

-Not that way.

-Not that way.

-

-The flame has to be on the bottom.

-We want an arch, just as you said...

-..a small one...

-..or it might all collapse.

-The fire could go out.

-Air will get under it

-and blow it out.

-We'll get there.

-Perhaps there are too many cooks.

-When they lit the fire,

-everyone wanted to have their say.

-Some of the group

-should listen more.

-It looks appetizing.

-Perhaps there are too many bosses.

-We might have personality clashes.

-We'll see.

-The adventurers have spent

-their first night in bootcamp.

-This is their home

-for the next week.

-It took ages to get to sleep

-and my feet were cold.

-I don't know how much more

-I can put up with!

-It'll be heavy going

-if we make it to the end.

-There's no time to relax. They

-must prepare for the next challenge.

-They will complete a fitness course

-in two teams of five.

-It's against the clock.

-The fastest team wins.

-Stamina and

-pushing their bodies to the limit...

-..is vital in an adventurer.

-That's what I want to see.

-I want to see

-everyone giving 100%...

-..to get themselves and the team...

-..over the finish line

-in the fastest time.

-The course involves carrying

-a log, pulling a Land Rover...

-..and finishing with

-a steep slog up Moel Y Cynghorion.

-Sioned and Seimon, as the weakest

-in the first test, are team leaders.

-Team Seimon goes first.

-Ready? Go!

-Helen runs ahead to prepare

-the next part of the course.

-Good speed, lads!

-Keep going.

-A leader must remember that everyone

-has something to offer the team.

-It's important to find out what

-that is. That's what I'll do.

-Come on!

-The team decides to push

-the vehicle, not pull it.

-It's there!

-Nice one.

-After completing

-the first two parts...

-..the team tackles

-Moel Y Cynghorion.

-Give 100%! Come on!

-That way.

-That track I think.

-James suggests the least steep path.

-But soon, Helen starts to suffer.

-Can we stop?

-It's alright, come on.

-You're doing well.

-Sorry, my chest is really tight.

-If someone is struggling

-and we have to finish as a team...

-..I'd stay at the back to help

-and maybe carry their bag.

-It's important to help

-anyone who is struggling.

-But don't ask me when it's time

-to do individual challenges.

-I'll be like a shark scenting blood,

-going for the kill!

-I like the fact that James

-carried Helen's backpack.

-We often see that in ultramarathons

-and mountain races.

-The strongest ones always

-carry the struggler's packs.

-I'm sorry, guys.

-I'm sorry, guys.

-

-It's OK.

-BLEEP

-My chest is tight.

-My chest is tight.

-

-Push through it.

-We'll work through it.

-Think of that prize.

-Sorry.

-It's OK.

-I was fit when I was in school.

-I did 1,500, 800

-and 200 metre races.

-But I haven't really had time

-to get back to that level.

-I wouldn't say,

-"No, I can't." I'd always try.

-I think I could do well

-in everything.

-But it might be a different

-story when I do it!

-Count to ten, boys!

-Count to ten, boys!

-

-I have to stop, sorry.

-We're almost there!

-We're almost there!

-

-Dig deep. You can rest at the top.

-Sorry.

-Don't say sorry, keep going!

-The mind wants to get to the top,

-but the body says no.

-It's down to lack

-of sleep, food and strength.

-Come on.

-Come on, the race isn't over

-until I touch the last person.

-Despite Helen's pain, the team

-gets to the top without resting...

-..in 13 minutes, 47 seconds.

-Well done! Brilliant!

-Are you alright?

-Are you alright?

-

-Oh!

-Well done, Helen!

-From what I saw, James stayed

-at the back with Helen.

-Seimon, as leader, should do that.

-It isn't the best

-leadership display I've seen.

-Sadly, because of her fitness level,

-Helen was the weakest.

-But after seeing

-how much effort she made...

-..and how breathless she was

-at the end, she impressed me.

-She could easily have

-given up, but she didn't.

-When I heard I was going to be

-a leader, I thought, "Oh, no!"

-But I think leading

-is one of my strengths.

-I hope to show what I can do.

-Happy?

-Happy?

-

-Happy.

-No-one go off on their own,

-or I'll scream.

-The whistle will come out!

-Helen has come down

-from the mountain.

-But her chest is still tight.

-Helen, are you alright?

-Yes. It aches,

-but if it carries on, I'll tell you.

-OK.

-Does it hurt when you breathe in?

-Is it there all the time?

-I think it's because

-I pushed myself so hard.

-Go that side, it's much better.

-Everyone OK?

-Everyone OK?

-

-Yes.

-Team Sioned sets off at speed.

-Team Sioned sets off at speed.

-

-Well done.

-Keep going!

-Everyone alright?

-All five are staying

-together really well.

-I like the fact I can hear Sioned.

-Come on!

-The leader must take responsibility

-for the team. She's doing that.

-Team Sioned decides to take

-the shortest but toughest route...

-..straight up the mountain.

-Lewys is suffering.

-Keep moving, Lewys.

-Stopping is the worst thing to do.

-He's not alone.

-He's not alone.

-

-Oh!

-Come on, Cara!

-You're doing well.

-Well done, Cara.

-Keep going.

-I'm quite a fit person.

-Not really, really fit...

-..but I try!

-I feel faint. I really do.

-Do you have water?

-Do you have water?

-

-Yes.

-But close to the summit, with Team

-Sioned on the verge of winning...

-..they take a break.

-Do your calves ache?

-I'm amazed at what they're doing.

-They should be pushing

-themselves to their limit.

-They're not all that far from us.

-OK?

-We're almost there. It's not far.

-Come on!

-This is a race!

-Come on. Keep going.

-OK, Sioned?

-OK, Sioned?

-

-Yes, thanks.

-I'd like to think I'm fit.

-I've represented Wales in

-mountain running and cross-country.

-But I don't know who I'm up against.

-I hope I'm the strongest.

-We're here.

-Go on, Cara, well done.

-Come on, Sioned, you're last.

-Time is running out.

-Team Sioned finishes the race

-in 14 minutes, 57 seconds.

-That's over a minute slower

-than Team Seimon.

-Everyone alright?

-Everyone alright?

-

-Yes.

-I was really disappointed that they

-stopped 100 yards from the finish.

-There was only a minute

-and ten seconds in it.

-They stopped for a lot more

-than a minute. They lost the race.

-Back at the base,

-Helen's condition hasn't improved.

-After a 30 minute rest,

-Helen's pulse should slow down.

-But it's still 103,

-so she has to go to hospital.

-I just hope she'll be alright.

-Helen is on her way to hospital.

-The other contestants pack,

-in case they're the first to leave.

-I hope I've done enough

-to go on to the next round.

-It's too soon to leave. I want

-to enjoy more of this experience.

-Most of the contestants

-are stronger than me.

-I've never done anything like this

-before. I think I've done enough.

-I completed the tasks.

-I hope I've done enough.

-I had a lot to prove today.

-So cross fingers now.

-At the end of each round...

-..Dilwyn and I will decide who is

-at risk of leaving the competition.

-But first, the contestants must

-choose who they think is at the top.

-Their place will be

-safe for the next round.

-When I was struggling, I knew

-you could carry on with the group.

-She led the team very well

-in the second task.

-I couldn't have done the second

-task without your encouragement.

-I understand you've decided

-who is at the top.

-It's Ifan.

-Many congratulations, Ifan.

-Well done, you're safe.

-For me, Lance was the strongest,

-from the start. Keep it up.

-Unfortunately, we have

-to say goodbye to one of you.

-At risk...

-..is Lewys.

-We haven't seen enough of you.

-The bar has been set very high.

-You haven't quite

-reached that standard yet.

-But the decision

-has been made for us this week.

-Unfortunately, Helen

-won't continue with the journey.

-Congratulations. The nine of you

-are through to the next round.

-I feel for Helen. It's one

-of the worst ways to leave.

-But she went out fighting.

-She had a lot more to show.

-She won't get the chance now.

-I feel sorry for her.

-I knew I'd be at the bottom.

-Everyone else is experienced.

-I'm glad to have the opportunity.

-I hope I can prove myself.

-Helen's condition has improved,

-but health is a priority.

-Sadly, she can't continue.

-I know what's ahead of them.

-It gets tougher...

-..a lot tougher.

-Next Time

-Go!

-Freezing!

-Ready?

-Ready?

-

-Yes, but...
