-The standard has been

-very high from the start.

-To win, you have

-to be on top of your game.

-There's a pinnacle ahead.

-Everything has built

-up to this point.

-I've put myself through it.

-To walk away as the winner

-would mean everything.

-There's a lot at stake.

-I want to win.

-Go!

-Only Ifan and Seimon remain, hoping

-to win a 10,000 adventure package.

-That was hard.

-In the Wales Year Of Adventure,

-it's been tougher than ever.

-Keep going!

-The two adventurers

-have been pushed to their limits...

-Come on!

-..physically...

-..and mentally...

-..as they push

-themselves even more...

-..to be the Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion.

-The Ar Y Dibyn winner is...

-Only two of

-the ten adventurers remain.

-But there will only be one winner.

-Ifan has been consistent

-from the start.

-His fitness is amazing.

-You'd want him on your team.

-Seimon didn't have the best start.

-But he's grown stronger in every

-round and he's a natural leader.

-The winner will be able to choose

-an adventure expedition...

-..outdoors training

-and a range of equipment.

-It's an amazing prize.

-I'd love to climb Mont Blanc.

-It's been on my bucket list

-for a long time.

-The Matterhorn

-mountain in Switzerland...

-..has appealed to me for years.

-The money would go towards that.

-Ifan and Seimon will face

-three challenges...

-..to prove who is

-the strongest adventurer.

-Two challenges test

-their fitness and strength...

-..the third, leadership skills.

-Tanygrisiau Waterfall

-The first challenge

-is crossing a rocky waterfall...

-..pulling themselves

-up a climbing rope.

-Effective technique helps,

-but it's basically strength.

-Physical strength

-in the arms and shoulders...

-..mental strength to carry on

-when the body says no.

-They've already done

-a similar challenge.

-Ifan succeeded, but Seimon failed.

-The hardest part for me

-was the rope crossing.

-I had to pull myself up halfway.

-My arms were burning.

-However much I pushed, it

-wasn't in me. That was very tough.

-Having to let the rope go

-was even tougher. That hurt.

-After failing last time...

-..there's more pressure on Seimon

-in this challenge.

-I've trained a lot

-to get stronger...

-..and be ready

-if I have to do it again.

-Ready?

-When you're ready, go for it.

-With every pull on the rope,

-all Seimon's weight is on his arms.

-To reach the top, he has to squeeze

-every ounce of strength...

-..from his arms and shoulders.

-Seimon decided to put

-his legs on the rope.

-No.

-That causes friction,

-slows you down...

-..and puts a lot

-more pressure on your arms.

-GASPS FOR BREATH

-Despite his technique,

-Seimon reaches the halfway crag.

-But he's exhausted.

-Will he be able to climb the wet

-slope and complete the challenge?

-Well done!

-Seimon is almost at the top.

-But there's one more rock to climb.

-Oh!

-Come on!

-GASPS FOR BREATH

-I said two things were needed...

-..physical strength...

-..and mental strength.

-Seimon has both.

-Hard work.

-Hard work.

-

-Yes, especially on these.

-They're burning.

-Seimon crosses

-the waterfall successfully.

-It's Ifan's turn now.

-I have some experience with ropes

-and climbing, mostly on trees.

-I do some work

-for a tree felling company.

-I'm fairly comfortable on a rope.

-Ifan is off to a brilliant start.

-He has the technique

-and the strength.

-Well done.

-Well done, Ifan!

-Ifan speeds to the first rock.

-But how will he cope

-with climbing it?

-Ifan has flown up. Well done.

-Ifan, how did it go?

-It was quite tough physically.

-As for technique...

-..I found a rhythm.

-But when your arms tire,

-you lose rhythm.

-You have to stop and rethink,

-to get the rhythm back.

-I really enjoyed it.

-They both succeeded in the

-final's first challenge. Well done.

-Ifan's climbing background showed.

-He was more effective

-in that challenge.

-But there's a lot more to come.

-Borth Y Gest Beach

-The next challenge for Seimon

-and Ifan is a fitness course.

-They must canoe

-round the headland...

-..drag the canoe along the beach,

-collecting blue barrels.

-Then they must drag the canoe

-up to the finish line.

-This challenge tests their skills

-with the paddle, their strength...

-..but most of all, their fitness.

-It's the first time

-they will really push themselves...

-..with no-one or nothing

-holding them back.

-I'd love a fitness challenge.

-There are only two in the final.

-It'd be nice to get the chance

-to compete one-to-one.

-I'd love to do a bit

-of running and cycling...

-..but not against Ifan.

-Does Seimon have a chance? No.

-No chance at all.

-Ready.

-Three, two, one, go!

-My fitness level is quite good.

-I've done six, twelve

-and twenty-four hour races.

-I'm physically fit.

-I'm mentally fit.

-Maybe I'm stronger mentally

-than physically, to be honest.

-I've run a marathon and shorter

-local races. I run daily.

-My fitness level

-is higher than the norm.

-They're neck and neck

-as they go round the rock.

-But Seimon has taken

-too wide a path.

-He's taken out by the flow.

-Ifan is the first

-round the headland.

-Seimon almost capsizes his canoe.

-As Ifan nears the shore, he has a

-considerable advantage over Seimon.

-Now, they must collect

-the blue barrels...

-..then drag the canoes

-to the far end of the beach.

-GASPS FOR BREATH

-After a shaky start,

-Seimon catches up with Ifan.

-His strength is obviously

-an advantage as he takes the lead.

-He heads for

-the highest part of the beach.

-GASPS FOR BREATH

-The canoes are almost

-as heavy as Ifan.

-They get heavier

-with each collected barrel.

-But somehow,

-Ifan manages to close the gap.

-GASPS FOR BREATH

-They're both exhausted.

-But the toughest section is ahead.

-They must drag the canoes

-up the sand dune to the finish line.

-Ah!

-When I'm in pain

-or my legs are heavy...

-..I try to play games in my head.

-Can I go further, can I go further?

-Can I try harder?

-BOTH GASP FOR BREATH

-The body screams for you to stop.

-But you can't stop.

-The goal is reaching

-the finish line and winning.

-Aah!

-APPLAUSE

-Seimon wins.

-BLEEP

-In those last metres, the canoe

-got heavier at every step...

-..and you just had

-to keep on dragging it.

-There's a taste of blood

-in your lungs and your quads burn.

-That was a real tester.

-The 10,000 prize

-won't come to either of us easily.

-The tasks get harder all the time.

-Mamma Mia!

-I expected Ifan to do better

-in the last challenge...

-..because of his endurance fitness.

-Seimon took it.

-The first two challenges are over.

-Seimon and Ifan will sleep

-on the beach under the stars.

-They only have basic supplies.

-They have a huge challenge

-in the morning.

-They need a good night's sleep

-to give their all tomorrow.

-Who will be crowned the Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion?

-The big day has arrived.

-Ifan or Seimon will win

-a prize package worth 10,000.

-Last night's shelter was made

-from canoes and plastic barrels.

-How are you?

-It's a nice day.

-I hope they had plenty of sleep

-to face what's ahead.

-Pwllheli Marina, Llyn Peninsula

-Their final challenge

-is captaining a sailing boat.

-They've been

-on a basic sailing course.

-They think Dilwyn is on board

-to assess their performance.

-But at sea, Dilwyn will jump in.

-They must follow procedure

-to save him.

-Leading a team is one thing.

-Leading a team in a crisis

-is a different matter.

-They won't have slept much.

-I'm sure they're exhausted.

-They could forget

-what they learnt and panic.

-It's Seimon's turn first.

-His crew includes

-two experienced sailors...

-..and former contestants

-Sioned and Helen.

-Can you sit there

-to balance the boat?

-Hold on with one hand?

-You'll balance the boat.

-My day to day job...

-..is leading and managing staff.

-Ar Y Dibyn has helped

-my team management skills.

-Seimon is used to leading.

-How will he cope in a crisis?

-You have five minutes. I'm off.

-Man overboard, man overboard!

-Take the power out

-of that gybe if we can.

-Don't panic.

-I hope I'll keep my head...

-..so I can effectively

-assign duties.

-But being in the situation

-is different.

-Helen, your job is to mark Dilwyn.

-Keep an eye on him.

-Don't lose him.

-Throw the buoy to him.

-Seimon has five minutes

-to turn the boat around...

-..steer towards Dilwyn,

-and throw a buoy.

-Can you see him?

-Can you see him?

-

-Yes.

-Cold water accelerates

-the onset of hypothermia.

-It's vital

-he's saved within five minutes.

-He's this side.

-One, two, three.

-Here you are, Dilwyn.

-Seimon almost reached Dilwyn

-in time.

-But he gave the command

-to throw the buoy too soon.

-His five minutes is up.

-When Sioned threw the buoy...

-..it ended the other side.

-I hope it doesn't work

-against Seimon.

-Seimon came close to saving Dilwyn,

-but ultimately failed.

-Can Ifan succeed?

-Happy?

-Former contestants Lewys and Cara

-are in Ifan's crew.

-Where do you want me?

-Where do you want me?

-

-Stand here, tighten the draw sail.

-Got it.

-Turn it this way?

-Turn it this way?

-

-Yes.

-I've worked in a team.

-But a lot of what I do

-is as an individual.

-The series opened my eyes

-to teamwork...

-..and leading.

-Let it go.

-Gybe or tack to this side.

-Ifan.

-You have five minutes. I'm off.

-We'll down sail, tail down.

-Raise the alarm.

-Cara, keep an eye on Dilwyn.

-Keep pointing at him.

-Don't stop pointing.

-The big thing is not to panic.

-I hope I'll keep my head...

-..stay cool

-and deal with the situation.

-I'm changing direction.

-OK, Lew. Come here.

-Chuck it to him.

-Ifan came close to saving Dilwyn.

-But he was late telling Lewys

-to throw the buoy.

-His five minutes is up.

-I'm gutted.

-Dilwyn was an inch from the buoy.

-It was so close.

-If Ifan had said "Do this"

-ten seconds earlier...

-..rather than "Chuck it over!"...

-..we would have saved him.

-The final challenge is over.

-It's created a headache.

-How do you rate

-Seimon's performance?

-He's an excellent communicator.

-He said "Man overboard"

-straightaway.

-It's not enough for a crew member

-to keep an eye out.

-It's vital to keep pointing

-so everyone knew were I was.

-Ifan is an inexperienced sailor.

-How did he respond in a crisis?

-He didn't say, "Man overboard."

-I wanted to hear that.

-But he pointed at me immediately.

-Even better,

-he told Cara to do the same.

-He was a bit late telling Lewys...

-..to throw the buoy.

-..to throw the buoy.

-

-I'd agree.

-He was five metres away.

-I had no chance against the wind.

-This is the final round.

-Ifan has been strong from the start.

-Seimon has developed.

-His whole demeanour

-changed for the final.

-He's more positive and confident.

-He worked hard.

-This was Ifan's to lose,

-not Seimon's to win.

-But Seimon was full of confidence.

-It'll be a tough decision.

-But it has to be done.

-It's time to announce the Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion.

-Ifan has been strong from the start.

-Seimon had a few hiccups.

-He's the best natural leader.

-I always thought Ifan

-was the strongest.

-Ifan will pip him at the post.

-Ifan upped his game today.

-You can see he wants it.

-Ifan and Seimon.

-You've been outstanding at different

-times throughout the process.

-But the competing has ended.

-We'd like to combine

-your best qualities...

-..to make one perfect adventurer.

-Unfortunately, we can't.

-Ifan, you've been strong from

-the start. You're incredibly fit.

-You deserve to be in the final.

-Seimon, after a shaky start...

-..your development

-has been exceptional.

-Your likeable personality

-makes you a natural leader.

-But, as I said,

-we can only have one winner.

-Lowri and I have reached a decision.

-And so...

-..the winner

-of the 10,000 prize package...

-..and the Ar Y Dibyn

-Year Of Adventure champion...

-..is...

-..Ifan.

-APPLAUSE

-Ifan is a fantastic bloke.

-He fully deserves it.

-He was consistent throughout.

-He has a bright future

-as an adventurer.

-It's an amazing feeling.

-I felt a rush of emotion

-when my name was called.

-Seimon has been on a huge journey.

-He can leave here

-with his head held high.

-I leave a happy man.

-I'm disappointed, naturally.

-I am really happy.

-We had a list of what

-we were looking for.

-Ifan ticked all the boxes.

-A superb adventurer.

-Not many adventurers

-are without a weakness.

-He's one of them.

-Being the Ar Y Dibyn Year

-Of Adventure champion sounds great.

-And it's me.

-I'm really happy.

-Brilliant, fantastic.
