0:14:13 > 0:14:16- They ran to the half-way-mark...
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- ..before stopping to do some Kihon, - which involves strikes and kicks.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- KARATE YELLS
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- After 20 minutes of activity, - we moved on to the waterfall...
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- ..but we had to deal with - the slippery uneven path first.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- I do the waterfall karate because - it's the start of the new year.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- I feel terrible after eating and - drinking too much over Christmas...

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- At the beginning, it was terrible...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- ..but you feel truly wonderful - after you've done it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- This is about pushing our bodies - to the extreme.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- It means that during fights...
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- ..we know how it feels - to have pushed the body to the max.

0:16:37 > 0:16:43- I've never done this before so - I was nervous and it was very cold.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I thought it might be nice - but that wasn't the case!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- I've come from Germany - especially for this event...
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- ..after hearing about the crazy folk - who train under the waterfall.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I wanted to be one of them.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10- Are you looking forward to a shower?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11- Are you looking forward to a shower?- - Yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- There's no better way to start the - year than by battling the elements.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- We're here whatever the weather.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- It's a fantastic way - to start the year.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- This was wonderful - and I feel fantastic!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Wow, they are very brave.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- We leave karate - and head to the fashion world.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Huw Ffash has some fashion advice - for the season.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- We start in Debenhams and - the collection by Julien Macdonald.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- I was at Julien's show in London - six months ago...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- ..and saw the Julien Macdonald - couture collection.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- This collection is more affordable - and for every day folk.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- This has been influenced - by his catwalk show in London...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- ..but it was part - of his menswear collection.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- The men were wearing - these military jackets.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Ruby's jacket - is from his Star collection.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Military styles - are going to be very fashionable.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- If you have an item - that's double-breasted...
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- ..with large buttons - and braiding around the edges...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- ..it will really hit the spot!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Take care - in how you wear these pieces.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- In the shops, the matching trousers - are sold next to the jackets.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- It can make you look - like a pantomime character!
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- It might not be clear for the - viewers but this is navy and black.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- The main body is navy and - the sleeves are trimmed with velvet.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- It's odd to see these dark tones for - their spring / summer collections.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05- Many designers will only show once - a year so the clothes will change.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- I like that jacket.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Next, we've got some denim.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- I always say that denim is ideal - for bridging the seasons.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Designers use it for quick sales...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- ..but denim is a very strong theme - this season.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- It's all about the treatment - of the denim.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Women will be wearing blazers.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Men will be wearing tailored jackets - made from denim.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Denim shirts are always popular.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Yes, they are always fashionable.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40- This season, you'll find - unexpected garments made from denim.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- We're familiar with denim dungarees.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Famous labels - are now making denim jumpsuits.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- This is from a company called Mih.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- It's 295 and takes us - to the world of the designers.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Will there be anything similar - on the high street?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- The high street will copy it - in a matter of weeks!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- I have to talk about the price.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- All our models tried it on.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- They are all tall and slim - but have different sizes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- The length from the top of the chest - to the top of the legs is fantastic.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- A lot of women are caught out - by that area.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- The gusset can be problematic - in an all-in-one, Alun!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- This has a lovely fit - and the denim is fabulous...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- ..but I decided to avoid the 1970s - in terms of the accessories.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- The magazines team it with platforms - or clogs.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- In Llanelli, you look better - with a good quality bag and brogues.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Thank you, Angelica.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Megan is next.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Before we mention the clothes...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- ..I need to give a shout out - to Steffan Parry.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- He's a pupil at Megan's school - and had an accident earlier.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- He's fine but Megan promised him - a shout out on tonight's Heno.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Get well soon, Steffan!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Doesn't Miss Mills look lovely, - Steffan?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Megan's in a floral print.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- It's reminiscent - of the 1960s and 1970s.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yes, and it's teamed - with matching accessories.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17- This dress is an investment.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- It's 75 and is from one of - the labels sold within ASOS.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- In the summer, it would look great - with some white plimsolls.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- I've teamed it - with a tasteful fringed bag.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- It's Italian leather!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- We've also got very high heels.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- I'm surprised she can walk - as teachers normally wear flats!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Thank you, Megan.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Finally, we move into sport.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- We've had the Olympic Games.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- The Commonwealth Games - are on the horizon.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- Sport influences fashion but these - aren't items to wear to the gym.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- These clothes - are influenced by sport...
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- ..in terms of the fabrics, patterns - and construction of the garments.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Rhiannon can open the coat...
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- ..to reveal the cropped jumper - and skirt.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- You can replace the skirt...
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- ..with black jeans.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- The jacket is lovely - and it's all teamed with a rucksack.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- These four look so different as some - of the seasons are all the same.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I'm back at London Fashion Week - in six weeks.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I'll see the winter collections.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Thank you, Huw. That was great.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Thanks to Huw - for all that useful advice.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- I recently received an invitation - from the RNIB in Wales...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- ..to attend the launch - of a new project.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- The RNIB in Wales helps - over 100,000 people in Wales...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- ..who have lost their vision.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- The launch was for the introduction - of a new series of audio books.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- It's a wonderful collection.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Today, I've come to the National - Museum of Wales in Cardiff...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- ..for a very special launch - by the RNIB in Wales...
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- ..to mark the centenary of the birth - of the nation's favourite author.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- It's Roald Dahl!
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- We're here today to show people...
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- ..that we have produced 16 - audio books in Welsh by Roald Dahl.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- We explained the process - of working with our readers...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- ..when recording audio books - at our Cardiff studios.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- "Boggis and Bunce and Bean - knew very well what was going on...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- "..and it made them wild with rage."
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Everyone reads Roald Dahl's work.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- His characters are so memorable.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Everyone has an idea - of how each character should sound.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- This is thanks to the way - that Roald Dahl writes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- His descriptions of people - are incredible.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- One of the first problems - to overcome...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- ..is to find the sound - of the character.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- Will they have a really deep voice - or be high-pitched and friendly?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Will I be able to maintain the voice - throughout the whole book?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- We record from cover to cover.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- "But Mr Fox was too clever for them.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- "He always approached a farm - with the wind blowing in his face."
0:24:38 > 0:24:39- You're given a book.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- You read the book and - choose voices for the characters.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50- It's also important that you don't - make a noise when turning the pages.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- Sentences don't start at the bottom - of the page and finish on the next.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- The sound of the page turning - is cut out...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- ..thanks to the marvels - of digital technology.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- We read about 30 pages in two hours.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- By that point, - you get a bit cross-eyed...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- ..so you have to stop - and go for a coffee!
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- We haven't done this before - with Roald Dahl's books...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- ..but we chose these books - to celebrate his centenary.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- It's great to include more - children's books to our collection.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- People can join a library for free.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- It means that they can borrow - the book without paying for it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- There's a reason why - Roald Dahl is still classed...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- ..as one of the greatest - storytellers in the world.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Everyone should have the chance - to enjoy his work.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- That's all for now - but there's plenty more to come.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- We've already heard about - the Mari Lwyd this morning.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10- After the break, Gerallt Pennant - hears about the Plygain tradition.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Don't you move a muscle!
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- .
0:26:27 > 0:26:27- Subtitles

0:27:17 > 0:27:22- # We will try to find it - before the end of our times
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- # Our days will come #
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- After the singing, - comes the feasting.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- The supper is just as important as - the Plygain, Reverend Roland Barnes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- It isn't the case for me - because I enjoy the singing!
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- Tonight, you sang for the first time - with a party of Welsh learners...
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- ..which was quite a challenge.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Yes, but we all enjoyed ourselves.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- In our final rehearsal...
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- ..I told them to listen to the - person standing next to them...
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- ..so that we could stay in harmony.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- I also told them that we were - singing in order to praise the Lord.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- The third and most important thing - was to enjoy it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- # We will sing joyfully
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- # Praise to Mary's child #

0:28:59 > 0:29:03- This is thirsty work but - they deserve their refreshments.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Yes, and it's a social event.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- It's an evening where - we can take stock of our lives.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- People also enjoy chatting - over their supper.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- It's wonderful - to see children here...
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- ..singing at the Plygain too.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- After they have grown up, I'm sure - they will remember the experience...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- ..of singing a carol - in a Plygain service.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- # Therefore, sinner, hurry
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- # As thou art

0:29:41 > 0:29:45- # To ask for his Sanctuary
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- # As thou art #
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Apart from your voice...
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- ..this little red book is just - as important at a Plygain service.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Yes, it's very important.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- I'm sure I've had it - for at least 40 years.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07- I first used it when Robert Ifans - was at Maesmor.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- He told me to sing as a tenor - with the Mawddwy party.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- # We should worship him

0:30:30 > 0:30:33- I remember going to a Plygain - at Llanymawddwy...
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- ..and there was 15 - before the first half was over.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- They went to smoke in the cemetery - during the break.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42- It wasn't like that tonight.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43- It wasn't like that tonight.- - No, not at all.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- # Amen #
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- That was lovely.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- It's that time of year...
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- ..when we all do our best - to keep our New Year's Resolutions.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Keeping fit is one - of the most popular resolutions.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- Let's meet some ladies who take - their resolution very seriously.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Forget Alfie's Angels - and let's meet Arwel's Angels!
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- Arwel Jones, a fitness instructor - from Tregaron...
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- ..has been training a group of women - to run the Cors Caron 10K Race.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- They get together to train - at least once a week...
0:34:38 > 0:34:43- ..either here at the leisure centre - or on the streets of Tregaron.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- They are known as Arwel's Angels.
0:34:47 > 0:34:53- Arwel was inspired by the former - rugby international, Gareth Thomas.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- After watching Alfie's Angels - from Cardiff...
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- ..we wanted to do something similar - in Tregaron for local causes.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- We got a group together - and they are Arwel's Angels.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- Everybody has a dream, - a wish and a goal.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- With a lot of people, - that goal is to be fit and healthy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- These women had that dream, - wish and goal.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23- They were inspired to do something - about it and are inspiring others.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I remember watching - Alfie's Angels on the television.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- It was a really good series - and I thought it would work here.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45- I thought it was great for Tregaron - and would bring people together.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- There's 22 of us who meet - once a week to run as a group...
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- ..and we have some sessions - at the leisure centre.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- They also do a buggy-fit session - on a Monday.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- A group of new mothers bring our - babies for some circuit training.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06- Is it fun?
0:36:06 > 0:36:07- Is it fun?- - Yes.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- It's great and motivates you - to keep fit and go out to run.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- Some of them have run half marathons - whilst others have done nothing.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- Our target is for everyone to finish - the 5K and 10K without stopping.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- They can fulfil - a personal challenge.
0:36:30 > 0:36:36- The idea of Arwel's Angels is that - anyone of any ability can do it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- We have a whole spectrum of ages.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- The ones at the front - have done a lot of running...

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- It also makes the skin - look healthy...
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- ..and gives it a wonderful glow!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Pears is next - and I always remember the adverts.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40- They featured a beautiful woman - with curly hair called Miss Pears.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14- People held it up to the light - as it was see through and pure.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14- Coco Chanel wanted a perfume - that lasted all day...
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- ..as opposed to - the weak citrus scents.
