-It will improve me as an adventurer.

-I'll fight for it.

-to work outdoors.

-It's a long slog

-to get where I want to be.

-It's an amazing stepping stone

-and would mean so much.

-It would be a privilege

-to represent adventure in Wales.

-Wales has so much to offer.

-To be the face of the campaign

-would be brilliant.

-The challenge this week

-..to convey

-what adventure means to them.

-The winning film

-will be used by Visit Wales.

-The Ogwen Valley

-James's film location

-Hiya. Are you OK?

-James?

-James?

-

-Al? Spot on, thanks.

-We're in the Ogwen Valley

-to film me bouldering.

-I was born near the Carneddau.

-The area means a lot to me.

-I want to show the valley,

-and what I like to do.

-Do you have any ideas?

-Do you have any ideas?

-

-I'm full of ideas.

-I don't know whether they'll work.

-Let's start.

-I'm looking forward,

-but I'm nervous and excited.

-I've got butterflies.

-I want it to be perfect.

-I have to do well.

-I thought of this angle

-for a time-lapse.

-Looking down the valley?

-I've been climbing

-since I was young.

-I got good at it, fast.

-I travelled with friends to Spain,

-Switzerland and the French Alps.

-Action.

-It was a big part of my life,

-before jobs and things!

-We have to go again.

-My hair is awful!

-That's smart.

-I'll do it again.

-A move called Dyno...

-..is hard.

-I hope I can do it today. We'll see!

-Happy?

-Action.

-Every now and then,

-I like to forget ropes...

-..and find climbs

-to do without a rope.

-I'm buzzing when I reach the top.

-Action.

-Ideal.

-It was superb.

-I had a lot of ideas.

-They changed a bit,

-but for the better.

-It worked out spot on.

-They'll have to take something

-out of the bag to beat this!

-Emotional!

-The Llyn Peninsula,

-Seimon's film location

-Hiya, how are you?

-I want to convey

-what adventure means to me.

-It's for everyone...

-..people of all ages and ability.

-You don't have to be super-fit.

-I've arranged

-for other people to appear.

-Snippets?

-Snippets?

-

-Yes.

-I'm the common thread...

-..who runs into every shot.

-They should be here any minute.

-The first shot is down the road.

-Action.

-I was a heavy smoker and drinker

-until I was 28.

-I enjoyed myself.

-Then my friends married

-and had children.

-I was the only one left in the pub.

-Something had to change.

-I booked a trip to Kilimanjaro.

-I hadn't even climbed Snowdon!

-One thing led to another

-and I took up running.

-My outlook changed. I want

-something to aim for all the time.

-Al, this is Dad and Mam.

-Snowdonia is on my doorstep.

-I go to the mountains

-every weekends.

-I do whatever I can.

-OK, action.

-There's no going back.

-Show the faces.

-There are paragliders here.

-We'll film me running

-as they pass overhead.

-We'll take advantage of it.

-We'll take advantage of it.

-

-That's the one.

-Helen and Sioned

-arrive to help Seimon.

-They are former contestants.

-They are former contestants.

-

-Sorry we're late.

-Don't worry. Thanks for coming.

-It's been ages.

-Action.

-It's hard work.

-I've never done it before.

-I enjoyed it.

-Good luck in the next round.

-Good luck in the next round.

-

-Thanks.

-Team Seimon!

-It's empty.

-Ifan's film location

-What's the plan?

-To film me cycling and running.

-It's hard getting up the hills,

-then back down again.

-Then it's playtime! I haven't

-done anything like this before.

-It's crossed my mind,

-because of all the activities I do.

-A lot of my friends sit

-on their backsides all day.

-I hope they get the message...

-..to take advantage of

-the great playing field we have.

-Cue.

-I started running in 2009.

-I hurt my hand in work.

-I couldn't ride my bike.

-I put trainers on and off I went.

-I reached the top five,

-the top three...

-..then I was chosen

-to represent Wales.

-I'm in my comfort zone

-when I'm on the bike or running.

-My conversation always turns

-to mountain biking or running.

-It's a big part of my life.

-Representing Wales doing something

-I enjoy would be a privilege.

-Good.

-Ifan asked friends to help him.

-Are you OK?

-Ready for action?

-Ready for action?

-

-Of course!

-As always. Dafydd is

-an experienced adventure racer.

-He's raced in Europe, and in

-the New Zealand Coast To Coast.

-I've learnt a lot from him.

-We'll put this on Dafydd

-to have a tight shot of you.

-Let's go.

-It's going great.

-The slo-mo stuff looks really cool.

-That was a good shot of me

-coming down.

-It's a bonus I didn't hurt myself!

-We'll go from Cader Idris

-to start the mountain biking.

-Action.

-I started mountain biking in 2005.

-It relieves work stresses.

-I'll go out for hours.

-I get a buzz out of it.

-The filming was great.

-I couldn't have asked for more.

-I don't know if I was a diva!

-It's been a long day.

-I hope it'll be worth it.

-James, Ifan and Seimon

-have been creating a film...

-..to promote adventure in Wales.

-We've come to see

-the premieres in a cinema.

-With us is Mari Stevens,

-Visit Wales's Marketing Director.

-I'm looking for a person and film...

-..showcasing Wales's landscapes

-and adventure potential.

-But perhaps even more,

-I'm looking for someone...

-..who inspires us in Wales

-as well as visitors...

-..to make the most

-of the adventures we offer.

-Mari will choose a film...

-..to be part of the Year

-Of Adventure marketing campaign.

-The film-maker she chooses

-will be the first finalist.

-The big moment has arrived. Are you

-looking forward to the first film?

-I grew up at the foot

-of the Carneddau. I'm part of them.

-When I head for the crags...

-..my heart pumps and my hands sweat.

-That's when I'm at my happiest.

-Climbing without a rope

-feels natural to me.

-When I'm out solo or bouldering,

-the world's pressures lift.

-It feels as if

-I'm the only one in the world.

-Wow, that was quite a film.

-Do you agree?

-Yes.

-He used those

-superb views of Wales...

-..alongside close-ups

-of him on the rock.

-It was fantastic and very striking.

-From a personal standpoint...

-..I felt I was by his side,

-or supporting him on the journey.

-After seeing the film...

-..my children might want to go to

-a local climbing centre, to learn.

-I enjoyed the beginning...

-..seeing him walk up.

-That's one of the things

-I enjoy most...

-..the adrenaline as you approach

-the place of the adventure.

-The marvellous thing about the film

-is the idea it's our home ground.

-The personal appeal to the people

-of Wales is very strong.

-It's Seimon's turn.

-We're looking forward.

-"To take a risk, or not?

-"It's man's nature to adventure

-"There's a desire to discover,

-a desire to search

-"A desire to succeed

-"They say there's nowhere like home

-"It's the start of every journey

-"Everyone has their own

-path and journey

-"Everyone has their own place,

-their own adventure

-"Freedom, pushing boundaries

-"It's a privilege to know one's area

-"It's there for us all

-"There's something new

-to see every time

-"Wales

-"The home of adventure

-"My home

-"Your home"

-That made me feel proud.

-I have goosebumps!

-I have goosebumps!

-

-Me too!

-Proud to be Welsh

-and live in Wales.

-There was a lot of craft,

-especially in the excellent script.

-A lot of effort went in

-to make the film feel adventurous...

-..but also accessible.

-In general.

-Yes. He's obviously

-a good adventurer.

-But the film also included

-ordinary people and fine views.

-The personal aspect too

-was very strong.

-We saw paragliders and children

-playing on the seashore...

-..the extremes in adventure.

-It was really good.

-In that minute,

-we saw several adventures.

-Yes.

-As he ran, we had

-that fantastic monologue.

-The ending got to me.

-Yes!

-Yes!

-

-My Wales.

-I want to do an adventure now.

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing what Ifan has for us.

-Running and mountain biking,

-that's adventure for me...

-..on two feet or two wheels.

-I'll give 100% or more

-to reach the top.

-Going downhill is all about

-the buzz, the adrenaline rush.

-There's no holding back.

-The wind is in my face.

-There's a feeling of release.

-You can't beat it.

-Go down as fast as you can.

-I couldn't live anywhere better.

-The playground is on our doorstep.

-That said it all about Ifan.

-Excitement and adrenaline

-leapt out at us.

-Much of the Year Of Adventure...

-..targets those

-with a real interest in adventure...

-..as well as the general audience.

-I'd be very happy

-to use that film...

-..to promote the best of mountain

-biking and mountaineering in Wales.

-It would appeal to people

-who enjoy extreme sports.

-He's the only one

-who combined two sports.

-Comparing two feet and two wheels

-was nice at the start.

-It was a powerful film.

-I'm sure there would be

-a very positive response to it.

-The standard is very high.

-Coming to a decision will be tough.

-It's a dilemma.

-Once more!

-After watching the films again,

-Mari is keen to use all three...

-..in the Year

-Of Adventure marketing campaign.

-But she has chosen her favourite...

-..and the first

-adventurer in the final.

-It's time for the adventurers

-to discover their fate.

-Mari has chosen

-the first person in the final.

-Dilwyn and I will choose

-who joins him.

-Being an ambassador for

-the Visit Wales Year Of Adventure...

-..would allow me to show

-people what they can do...

-..and how much Wales has to offer.

-Being considered suitable

-to do that would make me very proud.

-I've enjoyed every moment.

-I'd be ecstatic if I won.

-I think my head would actually

-pop off like a firework...

-..I'm that excited and happy.

-I'd feel great

-if I got to the final.

-I've pushed myself to the limit

-throughout the series.

-To go one step closer to winning

-Ar Y Dibyn would be brilliant.

-We've just watched the three films.

-Many congratulations.

-They impressed us.

-But the Visit Wales

-Head Of Marketing, Mari Stevens...

-..chose one of you

-to go to the final.

-That person is...

-..Ifan.

-Many congratulations.

-Well done.

-Well done.

-

-Well done, mate.

-Great.

-James and Seimon,

-your films were totally different.

-James, you showed

-your strength and climbing skills.

-Seimon, you showed

-adventure in general.

-To be honest, we couldn't

-differentiate between you.

-So we looked back

-on the whole series...

-..at your skills as leaders,

-adventurers and team members.

-To be honest, we had to split hairs.

-But we have decided.

-The person joining Ifan

-in the final round is...

-..Seimon.

-Well done, mate.

-Well done.

-After spending so much time

-together, you get close.

-Having to say goodbye

-is always uncomfortable.

-Well, it feels crap.

-I think...

-..I knew I was out,

-once Ifan was chosen.

-When Dilwyn began to talk,

-I knew I was going.

-Dilwyn and I haven't seen

-eye to eye from the start.

-I think it was down

-to personal preference.

-He liked him more than me.

-That's what it is, 100%.

-I'm an adventure leader.

-I wanted a bit more of that from

-James throughout the competition.

-I got a bit more

-of that from Seimon.

-That's why Seimon

-goes through to the final round...

-..and unfortunately,

-James goes home.

-It's very sad to see James leave.

-But the two in the final

-are very strong.

-The final will be amazing.

-Winning Ar Y Dibyn is

-in the back of my mind all the time.

-The feeling is growing

-stronger all the time.

-It would mean everything to me.

-After all we've done,

-I want to win the Ar Y Dibyn title.

-I've put myself through it.

-I want to win.

-Next Time

-Go!

-The Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion is...
