0:19:56 > 0:19:59- How often does he train?- - Almost every day.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I tell him no but he's got to do it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12- There's a choice between - the long and short course.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Duathletes run one lap for the short - course before cycling to the forest.
0:20:17 > 0:20:24- It's two laps, or 8K for the long - course, then jumping on the bike.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- The course is short and tough.
0:20:31 > 0:20:38- There aren't many inclines, - but you can't stop.
0:20:39 > 0:20:46- Following the cycle the trainers - are back on for the final stage.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- There's a 4K run down to the beach.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04- There's plenty of opportunity - to partake and have some fun.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- Having run and cycled many miles...
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- ..the last thing competitors want - to do is run again along the beach.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22- These dunes will zap up - any energy in their legs.
0:21:22 > 0:21:30- It was tougher than I thought, and - the sand took its toll on your legs.
0:21:30 > 0:21:38- The rough weather added to it, - but it went well.
0:21:38 > 0:21:45- I was really good and it was tough - and draining with the rain and sand.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- It was a really nice mountainbike - course and is suitable for anyone.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- I came from Merthyr to compete - and it was a very hard course.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03- It was muddy, the chain had fallen - off and conditions were difficult.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- It's my first race of the season, - so I'm just finding my feet.
0:22:07 > 0:22:14- It was tough, cold and windy but I - felt strong to push it to the end.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58- ..who enjoys - collecting and creating.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Bromebyd is home to some of - the best sheepdogs in the country.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- You won't see them without - their owner, Meirion Jones...
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- ..who always has a shepherd's crook - as he collects and makes them.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22- Take us back to the start and how - you got interested in the crooks.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- I'd go with a neighbour to sheepdog - trails and saw the various crooks.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- I found it interesting - to see how people made them.
0:23:31 > 0:23:38- Whilst at school, - I had a woodwork teacher.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44- He liked unusual things so I made - a crook and that's how it started.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- How many have you got in the shed?
0:23:47 > 0:23:52- I've got 15 to 20 but have - sold a few over Christmas...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- ..and donated some to raffles.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04- At sheepdog trials, the dogs - follow the crook on the course...
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- ..so everyone in a sheepdog trial - has a shepherd's crook.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Is there an interesting story - to the crooks in your collection?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- They all have their own story.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26- I won a competition with this one at - the Young Farmers' many years ago...
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- ..but it needs a new base.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37- The next was made when I was - in school about 40 years ago.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- I've taken it around Wales, England - and Scotland for competitions.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- I've used this other one - for two or three years.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- It's a favourite of mine - and lives in the pick-up!
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- You've got some walking sticks too.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- You've got some walking sticks too.- - Yes, but they haven't been finished.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- They will be cut to size - to suit the customer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:03- There's something for everyone.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- There's something for everyone.- - Yes, a crook for everyone.
0:25:06 > 0:25:13- Every shepherd's crook is a labour - of love but where do you start?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- These have come from - various hedgerows in the winter.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23- I spot them - and keep them to one side.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- This has been kept for a year - but needs storing for another year.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- A thinner one doesn't need as long - but this is where it all starts.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- It's cut down to size.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- People don't understand - how they are made...
0:25:39 > 0:25:45- ..but we mark out the pattern - and shape with a pencil.
0:25:45 > 0:25:54- As soon as I'm happy with - the pattern, I'll cut it out.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- I use a type of hand saw known as - a coping saw for cutting the curve.
0:26:00 > 0:26:08- After that, we cut off the corners - and shape it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- It ends up like this.
0:26:13 > 0:26:19- It takes about an hour to sand - it down so that it's smooth...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- ..and ready to varnish.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- I couldn't leave without - giving Meirion a helping hand.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I don't think I've helped much...

0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Thank you, Llion.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Congratulations to everyone.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- It was an unforgettable night.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- If you're looking for - something to do this afternoon...
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- ..why not venture into the garden?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Here's Ieuan handy tips.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- The first blooms of the year - have flowered in the garden.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- And with spring around the corner...
0:43:00 > 0:43:05- ..an array of other flowers will - dazzle us with a variety of colour.
0:43:05 > 0:43:11- Now is the time to prepare - for a summer display.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- I'm going to sow - some sweet pea seeds.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- It's possible to sow the seeds - outdoors during April and May.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26- These flowers will bloom - in late summer and early autumn.
0:43:26 > 0:43:33- Seeds planted indoors in February - and transferred outdoors in May...
0:43:33 > 0:43:36- ..will bloom earlier, - from June onwards.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- The roots grow downwards quickly...
0:43:40 > 0:43:46- ..so it's worth using deeper pots.
0:43:46 > 0:43:51- Alternatively, you can use - cardboard toilet roll tubes...
0:43:51 > 0:43:55- ..or kitchen roll sliced in half.
0:43:59 > 0:44:06- Seal one side with scrunched paper - and fill the tube with some compost.
0:44:11 > 0:44:18- The outer shell of sweet peas - is tough and water resistant.
0:44:18 > 0:44:25- You have to taint the shell - by filing one side of it.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31- Make sure you rub the side - that's opposite the eye.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37- The eye is positioned - where the root appears.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41- Rub the opposite side of this.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45- It's a laborious task - to file every seed in the packet.
0:44:45 > 0:44:52- Fortunately, some seeds boast - softer shells and don't need filing.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- But how do you find out this?
0:44:55 > 0:45:02- Submerge the seeds in clear water - for a few hours.
0:45:02 > 0:45:09- Some swallow the water, soften - and swell, whereas others don't.
0:45:09 > 0:45:14- The soft ones can be sown instantly.
0:45:15 > 0:45:20- A dark-coloured flower will - stem from a hard-shelled seed.
0:45:21 > 0:45:28- They also produce - strong fragranced blooms.
0:45:28 > 0:45:33- It's worth doing this...
0:45:34 > 0:45:40- ..to ensure a varied display - from the packet.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50- My second task of the day - is to sow lettuce.
0:45:50 > 0:45:56- Everyone's aware of the current - shortage of lettuce in shops...
0:45:57 > 0:45:59- ..and their extortionate prices.
0:46:00 > 0:46:05- Wait until late next month - to sow most varieties...
0:46:06 > 0:46:11- ..but some lettuces can be - sown indoors during winter.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- You can plant the seeds - in a compost tray.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21- I prefer to use a container - with individual cells.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25- Sow three to four seeds - in each cell.
0:46:25 > 0:46:30- Harvest them and leave one plant, or - the strongest, to continue growing.
0:46:33 > 0:46:38- Therefore, it's easier to transfer - them without damaging their roots.
0:46:38 > 0:46:45- Transfer them - to four inch-wide pots...
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- ..and leave to mature indoors.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53- You'll have lettuce to eat - in late April and early May...
0:46:53 > 0:46:56- ..when there's still - a shortage in the shops.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07- Thanks, Ieuan.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- And another hour is over.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- I'll be back next week.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16- Until then, - keep practicing your Welsh.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20- It's important to try - and have fun doing it.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23- Good afternoon to you all.
