0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Yes, we've come to Aberdaron.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- It's a beautiful seaside village.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00- It's at the far end - of Gwynedd's Lleyn Peninsula.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04- It's 15 miles west of Pwllheli.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09- It's 33 miles south west - of Caernarfon.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- It's home to 1,019 people.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- In the middle of the village - is a 17th-century stone bridge.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- It crosses the River Daron - as it approaches the sea.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Not far from the beach are the old, - whitewashed fishermen's cottages...

0:01:28 > 0:01:33- ..a reminder of the community's - traditional dependency on the sea.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39- I kick off our visit to Aberdaron - on the beach.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41- I'm looking out at all the yachts.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44- The kids are having fun, John.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45- The kids are having fun, John.- - Yes, look at them.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- They're going really well.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- This is their sixth year of sailing.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- There are about 30 of them.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55- I think there may be 35 this year.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Are they training or racing?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Robin will be out with them tonight.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- He'll set up a little race for them.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- It looks as if the race has begun.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- They're circling the buoy.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Are these conditions perfect? - A bit of sun and a breeze?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- It's surprising - how windy it gets at sea.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- It looks nice, - but it's quite choppy out there.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Sailing has always been popular.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Aberdaron has seen - centuries of sailing, surely?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- 125 years of sailing, I'm told.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Our own records go back 100 years.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Dafid, are some of these boats - unique to Aberdaron?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Yes, the boats of Aberdaron, - known as the Lleyn Peninsula boats.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- They're clinker vessels, - measuring about 15 feet.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- They started out as fishing boats.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- They've been adapted for sailing.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- I would estimate that...

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- ..half a dozen to ten of them - are currently in use.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- But I remember 20 of them - sailing in this bay.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Were the boats used for fishing - or catching lobster?

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Lobster and crab - were caught in the old days.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- They were two-bow boats at first.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17- But, to lift lobster pots, sterns - were added to strengthen the boats.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- They were substantial enough - to lift the pots without capsizing.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Are these boats still built today?

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Funnily enough, - one new boat was built this year.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Before that, - none had been built for many years.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We renovated and repaired old boats.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Do the old boats still sail?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Oh, yes, my recently-retired boat - was over a century old.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- It's in the harbour. - You'll see it's like new.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I'm sure I've been sailing now - for almost 50 years.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I've decided this year - to call it a day.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- You're hanging up your sails.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- You're hanging up your sails.- - Age has caught up with me.

0:03:58 > 0:04:04- Dafid, let's all give up now, - and go for a pint in the sunshine.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Great idea. Who's paying?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- It's John's shout.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Aberdaron is a very popular - holiday destination.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Visitors come here - in their thousands every year.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- At the village's edge - is Dwyros camping and caravanning.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- I'm here to help out - on the maintenance side.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Hello, Alun. How are you?

0:04:38 > 0:04:39- Hello, Alun. How are you?- - Hello, are you well?

0:04:40 > 0:04:41- I'm fine, but you're busy here.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42- I'm fine, but you're busy here.- - There's plenty to do.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I hope you want a break. - You've been working hard.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- I wouldn't say no, to be honest.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- There's a lot of upkeep, - but the site's looking good.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- At this time of year, - the grass-cutting is never-ending.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00- By the time you've finished, - you'll probably have to start again!

0:05:01 > 0:05:06- You must be so happy living in this - location, and with your life here.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Is this a hobby - or a full-time occupation?

0:05:09 > 0:05:14- It's not full-time, - but it takes up most of my time.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- There are other things I do as well.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- What's special about the area?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I'd say it's the wonderful location.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- There's something - quite unique about this area.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Many have been visiting regularly - for 50 years - year in, year out.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Obviously, there's something - really special about Aberdaron.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- As it happens, Alun, - I have a free afternoon.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Is there a job for me - to cut a blade of grass or two?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Well, do you fancy strimming?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- I'm not so sure. - I don't have any overalls.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- My hair gets in the way.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Perhaps we could help. - I have something else here.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- That'll be easier for you.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- That'll be easier for you.- - Ideal, I won't have to walk!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Do you trust me? - Do you have faith in me?!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Well, why not? Let's try it.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Here goes then.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Health and safety!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- A little knot in my clothing.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Right then, here I go.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Does it have enough power?

0:06:18 > 0:06:18- Does it have enough power?- - Oh, plenty.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Oh, plenty.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Here's the ignition.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25- All I do is press that pedal.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- I then go straight ahead.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Thanks, Alun. I'll see you - in a couple of hours.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Tony Jones is a photographer.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- He lives in Rhiw, - a village near Aberdaron.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03- His great interest lies - in taking shots of dawn and sunset.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Tony, as a photographer, - I'd say you're spoilt in Aberdaron.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- True enough. Isn't it wonderful?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- It's ideal today. The tide is out.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- The colours in the sand - are just amazing.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26- It's easy to be inspired - in a place like this, isn't it?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- The light here in Lleyn - is something incredible.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Of course, we also get mist, - rain and wind here.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39- But the light we see here today is - really unbelievable, it really is.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- These days, everyone in Aberdaron - knows you as a photographer.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- But you used to be a sailor.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Yes, I was at sea for 40 years.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- I flew home from Australia - on my 56th birthday.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- That was two years ago, - and I told my wife that was it.

0:07:59 > 0:08:04- I'd been working for six weeks, - operating cranes in Australia.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- I was on a special crane - aboard a Norwegian ship.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I'd been with - a Norwegian line for 10 years.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- On arriving home, - I said I'm not going back.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Hey, you'd better carry on, - before you lose the light.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Alaw Tecwyn and Huw Erith - have been raised in this area.

0:08:30 > 0:08:36- They have been so inspired - that they compose songs together.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Alaw, we know you - as a successful young singer.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Huw, you're well known - as a poet and fisherman.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Tell me, - how did your partnership come about?

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Do you compose the music, - and does Huw supply the poetry?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Alaw asked me to write some words.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I know next to nothing about music.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I write the words - and give them to her.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- She just gets on with it after that!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- It started when I was - doing my GCSEs at school.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Composing music was part of that.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I decided that I'd like to - compose music for a song.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I thought I'd ask Huw to help.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- He's a local, and I'm friends - with his son, Owain.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I then started my A levels, - and we kept it going.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Do you relax when you're composing?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Yes, I do. It's a personal pastime.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- I like composing, - and I find it enjoyable.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- I'm not seeking critical acclaim - or anything like that.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I just do it for pleasure.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- And you've recently recorded a CD.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Yes, a CD containing three songs.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- We created it for ourselves really.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- We wanted a souvenir of our songs.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Perhaps others - might enjoy our work too.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Does any one song encapsulate - everything about Aberdaron for you?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- I'd say it would be - the first song on our CD.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I wrote it, thinking about - my uncle whose name I share.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- He was killed when his ship - was torpedoed in World War II.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- My thoughts strayed - towards the attraction of the sea.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Many young men have been - drawn to a life at sea.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I myself have three sons - who are all sailors.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- There were some, in times past, - who would go away for a long time.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Some were away for two years. - Others never returned.

0:10:33 > 0:10:40- I wondered about their longing, and - that of their families and lovers.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- The song is called Mor Hallt.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- # Let's wait for tonight

0:10:48 > 0:10:53- # Let's get drunk - on the crest of a wave

0:10:53 > 0:10:57- # Let's taste the wild surf

0:10:57 > 0:11:04- # And sleep sound to its heartbeat #

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- I'm enjoying the view today, - here in lovely Aberdaron.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- It's evidently - a place of inspiration, Huw.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Yes, it's the inspiration - of the land and the sea.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It's in our upbringing - and our heritage.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- It's in the roots of our language. - It's all around us.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27- The sea inspires me. - I probably write about it too often.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- The song came to me quite easily.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- I think that's always a good sign.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35- I just sat by the piano...

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- ..and I phoned Huw - to ask him to listen to it.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Yes, it's a good song - to start the CD, I hope.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I have to say that you live - in a truly splendid area.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- And we do appreciate it.

0:11:48 > 0:11:48- .

0:11:55 > 0:11:55- 888

0:11:55 > 0:11:57- 888- - 888

0:12:00 > 0:12:04- This week, - we're on the Lleyn Peninsula.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08- We're in the lovely area - in and around Aberdaron.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Two miles from Aberdaron - is the village of Rhoshirwaun.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Located here - is Felin Uchaf Educational Centre.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Research is undertaken here - into creative work and lifestyles.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Dafydd, you're busy here.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Yes, we're quite busy, - especially in this good dry weather.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Now is the time to build walls.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- What are you all doing here?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- We're building a traditional wall.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- It's not a wall made out of stone...

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- ..to surround a field.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Having said that, - it does look like a perimeter wall.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- It's a wall for a house, Iolo.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Half of it is mud, - and the other half is stone.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- These are the footings - for a house wall.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04- What's the story - behind Felin Uchaf Centre?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- A charity owns and runs the centre.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13- It's a social centre, and we do - charitable work with various groups.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- We work mainly with young people.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20- We teach them countryside skills - and building techniques.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25- That is what we'll be doing - in this initial, pioneering stage.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- We then intend to develop it - into more of a cultural centre.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- We're trying to ask people - to consider what we have locally.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39- Let's use our natural resources, - and earn a living from that.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- I know that all the farmers - have been doing so for centuries.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48- There's room for new businesses, - even in construction, to do so.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- We all think - about our carbon footprint.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- What other activities take place?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Primarily, - for the next five years...

0:13:57 > 0:14:02- ..building will be the main thing, - but in different guises.

0:14:02 > 0:14:07- We'll be looking at thatching roofs, - stonemasonry and mud work.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- There'll be framing work - out of oak, and that type of thing.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- We'd also like to offer - cultural courses as well.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20- But, at present, it's primarily - building work, as you can see.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's all done on a voluntary basis.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- It's nice to see volunteers - here from all over the globe.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Yes, they're attracted by the work.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Young people enjoy it, don't they?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Some have come to Wales - from very far afield.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41- They want a real experience, - and not just to pass through.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45- They want to get to know the area. - What better way is there?

0:14:45 > 0:14:50- They handle local materials such as - stones and clay, and do garden work.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- They become rooted in the area.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58- Hey, enough chatting for now. - I'd better roll up my sleeves.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- You'll need some gloves, - so here's a pair.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Otherwise, your hands will be cut.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Good grief, the wetsuits - make yet another appearance!

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- This time, Shan, - we're going surfing.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21- Off we go.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Well, we may have looked the part, - but we had never surfed before.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- We were coached on the beach - by three local surfers...

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- ..namely Gerallt Jones, - Ifan Roberts and Deio Jones.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- We start by doing a press-up.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49- Belly in!

0:15:49 > 0:15:50- Belly in!- - Move forward.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Hooray! It's easy on sand.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Hooray! It's easy on sand.- - I nearly fell off.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- We've done this, - so now we'll get wet, waves or not.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Yes, we had to venture into the sea.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- We had great fun, - despite a lack of waves!

0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Up the road from Aberdaron - is the cove of Porth Meudwy.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34- From this beach, Shan and I - will embark on a two-mile journey.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- We're going to Bardsey Island.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Here to meet us is our guide, - the fisherman Colin Evans.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- # On the way to Bardsey Island

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- # An idea crossed my mind

0:16:50 > 0:16:55- # I would see the picture - so much clearer #

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Colin, I'm in your cabin now.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I've left Iolo outside, - enjoying himself.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- You take this little boat - over to Bardsey every day.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- I do indeed, every single day - that the weather permits.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- We cancel about thirty per cent - of the trips due to bad weather.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16- So, we're very lucky today.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18- So, we're very lucky today.- - Yes, it's a really fine day today.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20- It's perfect.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- How long have you been doing this?

0:17:23 > 0:17:27- I've been running back and forth - to the island for years.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- My grandfather and father - were lifelong Bardsey fishermen.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38- This boat was bought in 2003. - I've been doing trips since then.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43- I started when lobster-catching and - fishing were becoming uneconomic.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- This venture was - an attempt to diversify.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49- It's worked out well.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- It's worked out well.- - Yes, things aren't too bad.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52- You had no real choice.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- You had no real choice.- - In all honesty, no.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59- I couldn't leave this area, - especially not Bardsey Island.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- I had to find a way of earning - a decent living in these parts.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- I don't mind the sea.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I wouldn't go so far - as to say that I like the sea.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- I've seen too much - of the damned thing.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- No, I've stayed here, - and it's a livelihood for me.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- I chug back and forth to the island.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I try to help the resident - community on Bardsey Island.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- We carry the post, and - chicken and cattle feed.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- We have some woollen blankets - to take over there today.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- It all works OK, I think.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- What can I expect there? - It's not a big island.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41- It's big enough, and even I - haven't seen every single corner!

0:18:41 > 0:18:46- Eight people live there, - and that's important in my book.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Over 100 people have lived - on it during the past century.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55- It's a living island, combining - conservation and agriculture.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00- It's a very special place, - with its seductive, spiritual side.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- The monks were drawn here first, - back in the sixth century.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07- An abbey stood here for 1,000 years.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Then came the dissolution - of the monasteries in about 1538.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17- They say that 20,000 saints - lie buried on the island.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- There is a real tranquillity here.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25- If the weather changes, Colin, - maybe I'll have to stay overnight.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- But it won't change, unfortunately!

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- We'll leave it there. - Keep up the good work!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52- This was my first time on Bardsey.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- I was enchanted by its beauty.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Agriculture has been important - since the earliest times.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Old agricultural sites - are probably the best explanation...

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- ..for the island's medieval ruins.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- The Bardsey Island Trust - appoints farmers nowadays.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- As tenants, - they have to manage the island.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Iolo and I have come - to meet two of them.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28- Are you making progress?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Are you making progress?- - Yes, we think so.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32- How many sheep do you have?

0:20:32 > 0:20:36- We have 350 sheep, - 50 yearling ewes...

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- ..and about 11 rams.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I see you have some cattle here too.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- We have 25 Welsh Blacks and a bull.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48- I imagine that island farming - must be quite difficult.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Yes, the weather is a big factor.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- When it's fine, it's fantastic. - But if not, it's hard to reach here.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00- There can be problems with calves. - Otherwise, it's not bad.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Carting the sheep back and forth - by boat can be quite a job.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- I expect it's easier - just to jump into a Land Rover.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14- Yes, that must be easier. But then - you, Angharad, come from this area.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- You've also been away, - and dragged Carwyn back with you!

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- From Llannon.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Yes, I worked in Aberystwyth - for a year with a little deaf girl.

0:21:25 > 0:21:30- Then, I returned to this area, - so that Carwyn could farm with Dad.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Were you very keen to return?

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Yes, and I've appreciated - the area much more since returning.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- It's obvious that - anyone would miss this place.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Carwyn, have you had - a good welcome here?

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Yes, I certainly have.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- It's different - to Llannon and Aberystwyth.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Yes, it is. - And there's the language barrier!

0:21:52 > 0:21:53- Do you understand Angharad?

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Do you understand Angharad?- - I'm getting there slowly.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Do you know what you agreed to?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- You've signed the contract now.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Well done, you're very industrious.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07- We haven't done much today, have we?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Can we help you in any way?

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yes, as it happens, - some help would be appreciated.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Just a small job, I hope.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18- How's this one for you, Iolo?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- Gosh, Angharad. - That's not a ram, it's a buffalo!

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Look at its size.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- I've never seen one that big. - It must be the Bardsey Island air!

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- You know, I'd love to help you out.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38- It would be an easy job. - A two-minute job for us, really.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42- But, as it happens, - our boat is about to leave, Shani.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44- We have to go, - but thanks to you both!

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Best of luck with the buffalo.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Quick, Shani! Let's go!

0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Well, Shan, your first visit - to Bardsey Island is almost over.

0:23:03 > 0:23:08- It's been an eye-opener. I've been - inspired. What a marvellous place!
