-I've crossed the Atlantic Ocean

-and I'm almost home.

0:00:000:00:03

-I'm in Ireland.

-They say once you've visited

-Ireland, it's in your blood forever.

0:00:300:00:35

-And it's true.

0:00:350:00:37

-It's a little wet, but there are 50

-different types of greenery here...

0:00:370:00:42

-..which is why

-it's called the Emerald Isle.

0:00:420:00:45

-I'm heading for a small group

-of islands off the western coast...

0:00:450:00:49

-..the Blasket Islands.

0:00:490:00:51

-I wanted to say,

-"Here I am on Blasket Island...

0:00:510:00:55

-..Europe's most westerly point."

-But I can't.

0:00:550:00:59

-That's Blasket Island over there.

-I'm here.

0:00:590:01:02

-It's too windy to go there today.

0:01:020:01:05

-Oh, well, it happens.

0:01:050:01:07

-This is Great Blasket Island -

-An Bhlascaoid Mhoir.

0:01:150:01:19

-Five miles long

-and less than half a mile across.

0:01:190:01:23

-In the 1920s and 1930s...

0:01:230:01:26

-..some of the island's inhabitants

-wrote books which became classics.

0:01:260:01:30

-I've read two of them

-and they're superb.

0:01:300:01:34

-They wrote about the simple life

-on the island.

0:01:340:01:39

-The books were all written

-in the Irish language.

0:01:390:01:42

-They've been translated

-into many other languages.

0:01:420:01:45

-Life was hard here.

0:01:450:01:47

-In 1953, most of the remaining

-families left the island.

0:01:480:01:51

-It's a tourist attraction today -

-when boats can reach it!

0:01:520:01:56

-I headed inland

-towards Dingle in County Kerry.

0:01:560:02:01

-It's one of the prettiest places

-in Ireland.

0:02:120:02:15

-Driving on the roads can be fun -

-as long as you're not in a hurry.

0:02:160:02:21

-This is Inch beach - one of

-Ireland's most famous beaches.

0:02:290:02:33

-Scenes from "Ryan's Daughter" and

-"Playboy of the Western World"...

0:02:330:02:37

-..were filmed here.

0:02:380:02:39

-I pass some brand-new bungalows

-as I head for Dingle.

0:02:470:02:52

-Dingle has hardly changed

-over the last few centuries.

0:02:530:02:57

-Foxy John's pub... no, shop...

0:02:570:02:59

-..no, pub... Well, whatever it is,

-hasn't changed either.

0:02:590:03:03

-A girl doesn't feel too stupid

-walking in on her own.

0:03:040:03:09

-How are you?

0:03:100:03:12

-I'm very well, how are you?

0:03:120:03:15

-There are loads of pubs like this in

-Ireland - a bar and a shop combined.

0:03:150:03:21

-This shop sells all sorts.

0:03:210:03:23

-The same man

-serves both sets of customers.

0:03:230:03:27

-Wales you're from?

0:03:270:03:28

-Wales you're from?

-

-Yes - you know Wales?

0:03:280:03:30

-How much is that?

0:03:300:03:32

-That's two thirty.

0:03:320:03:34

-I worked in Wales.

0:03:340:03:35

-Where?

0:03:360:03:37

-A place called Warsaw!

0:03:370:03:39

-Warsaw?!

0:03:390:03:41

-LAUGHTER

0:03:430:03:44

-That's Poland! Sorry, sorry!

0:03:460:03:47

-Guinness can be dangerous!

0:03:490:03:51

-Cut, cut, cut, cut!

0:03:540:03:57

-It's on the same latitude.

0:03:570:04:00

-The bar was a mixture

-of locals and tourists.

0:04:020:04:06

-The presence of tourists

-didn't bother the locals.

0:04:060:04:09

-They actually welcomed them.

0:04:100:04:12

-The Irish could teach us

-a thing or two.

0:04:120:04:16

-They're always friendly.

0:04:170:04:18

-Oh, my God! It was nice to meet you!

0:04:180:04:21

-Very friendly sometimes.

0:04:220:04:23

-Is that alright? Is that alright?

0:04:230:04:26

-That's alright.

0:04:260:04:27

-You're a very strong man.

0:04:290:04:31

-Oh, I am!

0:04:310:04:33

-I wanted to spend more time

-in Dingle but we had to move on.

0:04:350:04:40

-There's been a lot of investment

-and modernisation in Ireland.

0:04:400:04:44

-But there's 6,000 years of history

-in this area.

0:04:450:04:48

-Ancient ruins can be seen

-all over the place.

0:04:490:04:53

-This is Ireland's oldest golf club -

-Dooks Golf Club...

0:04:540:04:58

-..established in 1889.

0:04:580:05:00

-Some think golf was invented

-in Ireland.

0:05:000:05:03

-The early Celts played hurly,

-which is similar to golf.

0:05:030:05:07

-Faster, and somewhat

-more dangerous...

0:05:080:05:10

-..but the club looks quite similar.

0:05:100:05:12

-Most Irish people play golf.

-Declan Mangan gave me a lesson.

0:05:130:05:17

-He also gave me an Irish lesson.

0:05:170:05:20

-Try the ball this time.

0:05:200:05:22

-Will I hit somebody?

0:05:220:05:24

-No, no - buailim an liathroid.

0:05:240:05:25

-No, no - buailim an liathroid.

-

-What does that mean?

0:05:250:05:27

-Buailim an liathroid, mas e do thoil

-- hit the ball, please.

0:05:270:05:33

-OK.

0:05:330:05:34

-I'll hit the ball.

0:05:350:05:36

-Oh, dear, here goes.

0:05:370:05:38

-OK.

0:05:380:05:40

-Right.

0:05:400:05:42

-Get out of the way.

0:05:420:05:44

-OK, right, here goes.

0:05:460:05:47

-It's still there!

0:05:510:05:52

-You have just experienced

-your first fresh air.

0:05:530:05:56

-Buailim an aer - a fresh shot.

0:05:570:05:59

-Aris. Aris means again.

0:06:000:06:03

-Aris, aris.

0:06:030:06:05

-I hit the tee!

0:06:090:06:11

-It was a case of aris, aris.

0:06:150:06:17

-The Emerald Isle is one

-of Europe's premier golf venues.

0:06:180:06:22

-The Ryder Cup will be held here

-later in the year.

0:06:220:06:26

-Somehow,

-I don't think I'll make the team.

0:06:260:06:30

-Having said that,

-I had a great time at Dooks.

0:06:300:06:35

-Remember, ceann sios -

-keep your head down.

0:06:350:06:38

-It's difficult to do that here

-because we're surrounded...

0:06:380:06:42

-..with wonderful scenery.

0:06:420:06:44

-That's the end of the Atlantic Ocean

-and that's the Dingle Peninsula.

0:06:440:06:50

-That's Carrauntoohil -

-Ireland's highest mountain.

0:06:500:06:53

-It's hiding today.

0:06:530:06:55

-Here we are at the green.

0:06:550:06:58

-Things improved on the green!

0:06:580:07:01

-Ceann sios. Ceann sios.

0:07:040:07:05

-You might be one of the best putters

-ever to golf at Dooks first day out.

0:07:060:07:12

-You're putting me under pressure.

0:07:120:07:14

-Off we go.

0:07:150:07:16

-Thanks, Declan - I'll be back

-once I've had some lessons.

0:07:240:07:28

-On to Killarney - birthplace

-of the Pan Celtic Festival...

0:07:280:07:31

-..where some big names have won -

-Eryr Wen, Geraint Griffiths, Enya...

0:07:320:07:36

-..the Chieftains, the Dubliners

-and Merched Uwchllyn!

0:07:360:07:39

-It's a busy town in the summer

-with busloads of tourists.

0:07:400:07:44

-You need a machete

-to read the road signs.

0:07:440:07:48

-There's more room to stay here

-than anywhere else outside Dublin.

0:07:480:07:53

-But the town itself

-is relatively unexciting.

0:07:540:07:56

-Killarney National Park

-is Ireland's oldest park.

0:07:580:08:02

-It was established in 1932 - 10,000

-hectares of trees, mountains...

0:08:020:08:06

-..old buildings and lakes.

0:08:070:08:08

-Tir Na Nog

-lies under one of the lakes.

0:08:090:08:12

-Visit the sites on foot, by bike

-or on a horse and carriage.

0:08:120:08:17

-This is Muckross House.

0:08:190:08:21

-Queen Victoria stayed here in 1861.

0:08:210:08:24

-People believe that her visit

-is the reason...

0:08:240:08:27

-..that Killarney is so popular

-with visitors.

0:08:270:08:30

-That's not true. People have been

-coming here for years.

0:08:300:08:34

-This year, it celebrates

-250 years as a tourist attraction.

0:08:340:08:39

-Tourists have been coming here

-since 1754 - not 1861.

0:08:390:08:44

-But royal approval must have helped.

0:08:440:08:48

-Next, like every other tourist,

-I went to find some Irish craic.

0:08:510:08:56

-Where are you from on the back wall?

0:08:570:08:59

-Where are you from on the back wall?

-

-Cheltenham.

0:08:590:09:00

-Many an euro and pound

-I've lost there!

0:09:000:09:03

-Ger Healy, the singing jarvey,

-has performed in Wales many times...

0:09:040:09:09

-..with Ifan JCB and Trebor Edwards.

0:09:090:09:11

-Tonight,

-we're in Kate Kearney's Cottage.

0:09:110:09:14

-This is a weekly event

-for summer tourists.

0:09:140:09:18

-Locals join in, too -

-any excuse for a dance and a pint.

0:09:180:09:23

-I didn't dance - it reminded me

-too much of a twmpath in Glanllyn!

0:09:240:09:29

-The following morning, after a

-breakfast of bacon and soda bread...

0:09:320:09:36

-..I moved on to Midleton.

0:09:360:09:39

-On the way, I stopped in Fermoy.

0:09:390:09:42

-The horses at Glenview Stud

-are thoroughbreds.

0:09:430:09:46

-Breeding racehorses has been

-a way of life here for years.

0:09:460:09:51

-These two are worth

-100,000 euros each.

0:09:510:09:54

-Dan's Your Man, nearest the hedge,

-has won ten point-to-point races.

0:09:540:10:00

-It's easy to lose your way here.

0:10:000:10:03

-The road signs are always on

-the corner - not before the corner.

0:10:040:10:08

-But after turning around time

-after time, I reached Midleton.

0:10:080:10:13

-I was given an invitation I couldn't

-refuse - tasting Jameson's whiskey.

0:10:130:10:18

-Barry Crocket

-is a master distiller at Jameson's.

0:10:190:10:22

-Before I sampled the real stuff,

-I visited the heritage centre...

0:10:230:10:27

-..which attracts 15,000 visitors

-every year.

0:10:280:10:30

-They tend to leave in high spirits!

0:10:310:10:35

-So, this is the large still room.

-You can see the large still here.

0:10:370:10:42

-How much whiskey

-would you get into this?

0:10:430:10:46

-The normal content of that when

-it was operating was 17,000 gallons.

0:10:460:10:52

-It used to taken 14 hours to

-distil the spirit from that volume.

0:10:520:10:57

-It's then matured in oak casks.

-And the Irish aren't stupid.

0:10:570:11:02

-You can taste Irish whiskey

-alongside Scotch and bourbon.

0:11:020:11:07

-What we now do,

-we just have a taste.

0:11:080:11:12

-We take the Jameson

-and have a little sip.

0:11:120:11:16

-The Jameson's was lovely. Tasting

-the Scotch after it was horrible!

0:11:170:11:22

-The Scotch, as you can see,

-has a much more smoky taste.

0:11:250:11:30

-After that, it's quite a shock.

0:11:300:11:32

-We then do the same with the...

0:11:330:11:35

-I sampled different types

-of Jameson's - they were nice.

0:11:360:11:39

-In Ireland,

-whiskey is spelt with an 'E'.

0:11:390:11:42

-There's no 'E' in Scotch whisky.

0:11:420:11:44

-But they gave me an 'A'.

0:11:440:11:46

-A certificate as a qualified

-Irish whiskey taster.

0:11:470:11:50

-Thank you.

0:11:510:11:52

-Well done.

0:11:520:11:54

-Look!

0:11:540:11:56

-888

0:12:040:12:04

-888

0:12:040:12:06

-Next on the line was the historical

-town of Youghal...

0:12:100:12:13

-..the location for Captain Ahab's

-harbour in the film "Moby Dick".

0:12:140:12:19

-Sir Walter Raleigh

-was the town's mayor in 1588.

0:12:200:12:24

-He introduced potatoes and tobacco

-to this part of the world.

0:12:240:12:28

-He planted his first potato

-in Youghal - apparently.

0:12:280:12:32

-He also smoked a pipe

-in front of a lady...

0:12:320:12:35

-..who'd never seen a man

-smoke a pipe before.

0:12:360:12:39

-She thought he was on fire -

-so she doused him in water.

0:12:390:12:44

-She wouldn't need to do that today.

0:12:440:12:47

-It rained incessantly.

0:12:490:12:52

-It was still raining when I went

-to the greyhound track that evening.

0:12:530:12:57

-I met Margaret and Sooty Black.

0:12:570:13:00

-I have Sooty Black in the sprint,

-and in the final I have Ares Leader.

0:13:000:13:06

-What's the top prize?

0:13:070:13:08

-What's the top prize?

-

-Of tonight's racing? 15,000 euros.

0:13:080:13:10

-Really?

0:13:100:13:12

-I'm not in that stake.

-The one I'm in is 1,650 euros.

0:13:120:13:17

-Alright. Take care.

0:13:180:13:21

-She's in the final. In the Woodchip.

0:13:300:13:33

-It's a big night.

-As the sky darkens...

0:13:350:13:38

-..the crowd increases.

0:13:390:13:40

-This is an occasion

-for the whole family...

0:13:400:13:43

-..with plenty of handsome men!

-I felt lucky!

0:13:440:13:47

-I've placed a bet on Sooty Black -

-Margaret's dog.

0:13:520:13:56

-I've bet five euros.

0:13:560:13:58

-I haven't backed him to win.

0:13:580:14:01

-If he's first or second,

-I'll win something.

0:14:010:14:05

-Come on, Sooty.

0:14:050:14:06

-And they're off.

0:14:090:14:11

-Keep your eye on the black dog.

0:14:110:14:14

-And it was over. Just like that.

0:14:220:14:25

-Some smiled, others didn't.

0:14:260:14:28

-Well...

0:14:320:14:34

-Sooty started badly.

0:14:340:14:36

-I think he was third.

0:14:360:14:39

-But that wasn't good enough.

0:14:390:14:41

-That'll teach me not to bet.

0:14:410:14:44

-There are ten races in all,

-and six greyhounds in each one.

0:14:450:14:50

-The men would give me tips -

-how could I resist?

0:14:510:14:55

-Out came the euros

-and off went the greyhounds.

0:14:550:14:59

-The greyhound in last place

-was my choice.

0:15:060:15:09

-I'm skint, but I've thoroughly

-enjoyed myself.

0:15:100:15:13

-This is the only hot dog

-I've had all night. Ha-ha!

0:15:130:15:18

-I'm on the last leg of my journey.

0:15:200:15:24

-I follow the line

-to County Waterford.

0:15:240:15:27

-Even in the September rain,

-the colours are wonderful.

0:15:290:15:33

-How many different shades of green

-can you see here?

0:15:330:15:38

-Before long, I reached Waterford -

-Ireland's oldest city.

0:15:420:15:46

-It was established in 914.

0:15:460:15:49

-It's a very industrial town -

-some think it's ugly.

0:15:490:15:53

-But it produces some of Ireland's

-most elegant and expensive crystal.

0:15:530:15:59

-Waterford crystal is world-renowned.

0:16:000:16:02

-Every piece is handmade.

0:16:020:16:05

-One of the factory's master

-craftsmen, Skippy, showed me around.

0:16:050:16:09

-His real name is Philip Sheridan

-but his father's an Aussie.

0:16:090:16:13

-We all have a certain job to do.

0:16:140:16:17

-They have to do it right

-because we're paying a piece rate.

0:16:180:16:22

-If it goes wrong,

-you don't get paid.

0:16:220:16:25

-Visitors aren't allowed

-to blow glass now - but I had a go.

0:16:260:16:30

-I learnt a local term - to make

-a "hames" of something - a mess!

0:16:300:16:35

-Oh!

0:16:360:16:37

-Blow harder.

0:16:380:16:40

-Whatever you do, don't suck!

0:16:400:16:43

-I was trying to make a rose bowl.

0:16:450:16:48

-What is it?

0:16:490:16:50

-What is it?

-

-What's your day job?!

0:16:500:16:52

-What's your day job?

0:16:520:16:54

-I don't think you should give it up!

0:16:550:16:58

-It's a work of art.

0:16:590:17:01

-That'll be recycled.

-We'll melt it down...

0:17:030:17:06

-..and you can come back tomorrow

-and makes a hames of it again!

0:17:060:17:12

-It takes years of practice

-to perfect this type of work.

0:17:120:17:17

-I was surprised at their skills.

0:17:170:17:19

-The strangest people have made

-a hames of it in the past.

0:17:200:17:24

-As I was saying to you.

0:17:240:17:27

-This is the most photographed

-piece of crystal in the world.

0:17:270:17:31

-Do you know why?

0:17:310:17:33

-No.

0:17:330:17:35

-The handle's on the same side

-as the spout.

0:17:350:17:39

-Somebody was here

-and they were hungover.

0:17:390:17:42

-Who would that be?

0:17:420:17:43

-Who would that be?

-

-I have no idea.

0:17:430:17:45

-The biggest problem is, he didn't

-know he'd done it that way!

0:17:450:17:50

-Waterford crystal has been

-synonymous with high quality...

0:17:550:17:58

-..for over two centuries.

0:17:580:18:00

-The crystal has been presented

-as trophies in many sports...

0:18:000:18:04

-..to champions like Tiger Woods,

-Pete Sampras and Steffi Graf.

0:18:040:18:09

-Nelson Mandela, Prince Charles...

0:18:090:18:11

-..and every US president

-since Eisenhower have a piece.

0:18:110:18:15

-The tills are kept busy every day.

0:18:150:18:18

-This is the biggest crystal

-collection in the world.

0:18:180:18:24

-It's amazing if you look around.

0:18:240:18:27

-Do you make chandeliers?

0:18:290:18:31

-Do you make chandeliers?

-

-Yes, everything.

0:18:310:18:32

-Worth a fortune here.

0:18:320:18:35

-Do you have a chandelier at home?

0:18:350:18:37

-Do you have a chandelier at home?

-

-No, my ceilings are too low.

0:18:370:18:39

-I'd be smashing my face.

0:18:390:18:42

-You don't have a chandelier?

0:18:420:18:44

-Well, as a memento of your visit,

-we'll give you this.

0:18:440:18:49

-No!

0:18:490:18:50

-Is this my own mini chandelier?

0:18:500:18:52

-Is this my own mini chandelier?

-

-You'll never fit a chandelier

-in that.

0:18:520:18:55

-Is that OK?

0:18:550:18:56

-Is that OK?

-

-Thank you.

0:18:560:18:58

-Lovely. It was well worth the visit.

0:18:590:19:02

-You're not having one, though.

0:19:020:19:04

-It was a coaster -

-to hold a wine bottle.

0:19:060:19:10

-It was on special offer!

0:19:100:19:12

-On I went through Waterford.

0:19:130:19:15

-It looked beautiful

-on this fine September evening.

0:19:150:19:18

-I was close to home - the Welsh flag

-flew proudly on the quay.

0:19:220:19:26

-With my expensive crystal

-in the boot...

0:19:270:19:29

-..I reached Rosslare

-to catch the ferry to Fishguard.

0:19:300:19:33

-An opportunity for me

-to spend the rest of my euros.

0:19:330:19:38

-Plenty of Irish merchandise here,

-but barely a thing from Wales.

0:19:380:19:42

-Good afternoon,

-captain speaking on the bridge.

0:19:420:19:46

-The weather conditions

-aren't too bad at all.

0:19:460:19:49

-The weather's improving

-than what we had this morning.

0:19:500:19:53

-The journey is almost over

-as the ferry nears Wales.

0:19:530:19:58

-Captain David Farrell's accent

-sounds familiar.

0:19:580:20:02

-I've been all around the world...

0:20:020:20:05

-..and I've met a Northwalian

-for the first time.

0:20:050:20:09

-How are you?

0:20:090:20:10

-How are you?

-

-OK, how are you?

0:20:100:20:12

-The ship's captain.

0:20:120:20:13

-What's a man from Anglesey

-doing on a Fishguard-bound ship?

0:20:130:20:18

-I worked for Sealink

-in Holyhead years ago.

0:20:180:20:22

-I've recently transferred

-to the south.

0:20:220:20:25

-Do you live here?

0:20:250:20:27

-Do you live here?

-

-No - I still live in north Wales.

0:20:270:20:29

-I travel up and down every week.

0:20:300:20:33

-I live on the ship during the week.

0:20:330:20:36

-You sleep and watch TV

-on the ship in the week.

0:20:360:20:41

-Yes - I live on the ship

-in the week.

0:20:410:20:44

-We cross the Irish Sea

-four times a day.

0:20:450:20:48

-Is it a nice feeling

-being a captain?

0:20:490:20:52

-I'm used to it now.

0:20:520:20:54

-How far are we from the harbour?

0:20:550:20:57

-We're just coming around the point.

0:20:570:21:00

-We're a mile from the breakwater.

-We'll be there in 15 minutes.

0:21:000:21:06

-Almost home!

0:21:060:21:07

-Thank you very much.

0:21:070:21:09

-You're welcome.

0:21:090:21:10

-Back in Wales at last -

-in Fishguard.

0:21:150:21:18

-Another location

-for the film "Moby Dick".

0:21:190:21:22

-Fishguard's greatest heroine

-was Jemima Nicholas.

0:21:220:21:25

-In 1797, a French invasion force

-tried to land in Fishguard.

0:21:250:21:29

-But Jemima and her pitchfork sent

-them on their way back to France.

0:21:290:21:34

-On through Pembrokeshire and

-Britain's smallest national park.

0:21:360:21:39

-It's raining!

0:21:390:21:41

-Through Newcastle Emlyn,

-past the tractors...

0:21:460:21:50

-..and the green fields

-of Carmarthenshire.

0:21:500:21:54

-Here I am - back where I began

-in wonderful Llandovery.

0:21:550:21:59

-The sun is shining.

0:22:000:22:02

-Since I last sat here, I've changed.

0:22:020:22:07

-Not only my clothes!

0:22:070:22:09

-I'm six months older

-and I've been around the world.

0:22:090:22:14

-We only spent a short time

-in each place.

0:22:140:22:18

-We only gave you a taster

-of those places.

0:22:180:22:21

-But that was enough to make me

-want to return to some places.

0:22:210:22:26

-Haida Gwaii - to canoe.

0:22:270:22:29

-Labrador - to write a book.

0:22:300:22:32

-And Dooks golf course - to give

-Declan Mangan a run for his money.

0:22:320:22:38

-Of all the places -

-Russia was my favourite.

0:22:390:22:42

-I fell in love with Russia.

0:22:430:22:45

-It's where I learnt the most...

0:22:450:22:48

-..and it's the country

-that surprised me the most.

0:22:480:22:51

-I love the country,

-its history and its people.

0:22:510:22:56

-I feel so fortunate to have had

-the chance to travel so far.

0:22:560:23:01

-After saying that,

-and to misquote a famous song...

0:23:010:23:05

-.."Having travelled the world,

-along latitude line 52...

0:23:050:23:09

-.."There's no place like home".

0:23:100:23:12

-It's so good to be back.

0:23:130:23:15

-Can I go home now, please?
