-who's an expert clay pigeon shooter.

0:00:480:00:53

-We start with my recent trip

-to the home of Team GB's cyclists...

0:00:530:00:58

-..the National Cycling Centre

-in Manchester...

0:00:580:01:01

0:01:180:01:20

-I'm 20 years old and cycle

-professionally for Team GB.

0:01:200:01:24

-In my teens,

-I liked to compete in triathlons.

0:01:250:01:27

-For the last five years,

-I've concentrated on cycling.

0:01:280:01:31

-I enjoy every aspect of cycling,

-from training to racing.

0:01:330:01:37

-I'm hoping to compete at

-the Commonwealth Games next year.

0:01:390:01:43

-Cycling has become very popular...

0:01:480:01:50

-..following the successes

-of Team GB in recent Olympic Games.

0:01:500:01:54

-It's particularly true in Wales...

0:01:540:01:56

-..since athletes Becky James and

-Owain Doull picked up medals in Rio.

0:01:560:02:01

-That's the goal for athletes

-like Manon.

0:02:020:02:04

-I love seeing how people train...

0:02:040:02:07

-..for different sports

-to maximise their potential.

0:02:070:02:11

-Today, I'm looking forward to seeing

-the kind of training Manon does...

0:02:110:02:17

-..to be the best she can be

-on race day.

0:02:170:02:20

-Hello, Manon.

0:02:270:02:28

-Hello, Manon.

-

-Hello.

0:02:280:02:29

-This place is amazing.

-Thanks for the welcome.

0:02:290:02:32

-It's world famous. I can see all

-the children enjoying themselves.

0:02:320:02:37

-They're all dreaming of being the

-next Manon Lloyd. How did you start?

0:02:370:02:42

-When I was 15,

-I was cycling and running a lot.

0:02:420:02:46

-I wanted to try a triathlon so I

-joined the local club, Towy Riders.

0:02:460:02:50

-I went every week to ride a bike

-with other children...

0:02:500:02:54

-..just like they're doing here.

0:02:540:02:56

-It went from there.

0:02:560:02:58

-When did it change from racing

-or cycling for fun...

0:02:580:03:02

-..to becoming

-a full-time professional?

0:03:020:03:05

-I was about 17 years old.

0:03:060:03:08

-I'd been picked up

-by the British Cycling Team.

0:03:080:03:12

-I'd studied for one year

-of my A levels...

0:03:120:03:14

-..and then I'd finished

-and moved away from home.

0:03:150:03:20

-You were living the dream.

0:03:200:03:22

-You were living the dream.

-

-Yes.

0:03:220:03:23

-Who are your influences?

-What inspires you?

0:03:230:03:27

-Training and seeing an improvement

-on a daily and weekly basis.

0:03:270:03:32

-Winning races feels good.

0:03:320:03:33

-You live with world champions.

-How competitive is the squad?

0:03:340:03:40

-It's great to have the quality

-that we have in the UK.

0:03:400:03:43

-Training and living with them

-is good.

0:03:430:03:46

-We do everything we can do

-to be good. We push each other.

0:03:470:03:50

-There are times when you don't want

-to train because of the weather.

0:03:500:03:54

-Having someone in the house going

-out with you forces you to do it.

0:03:550:04:00

-It makes it much easier, having four

-or five of us girls to go along.

0:04:000:04:05

-Having girls training together

-is nice.

0:04:050:04:08

-You have to work and train hard.

-What's your daily schedule?

0:04:080:04:12

-It is hard,

-we train twice a day all week.

0:04:120:04:16

-Here, we'll be on the track,

-on the road, in the gym.

0:04:170:04:20

-We have to eat healthily too.

-It's very hard.

0:04:200:04:23

-You start every morning

-on the turbo, do you?

0:04:230:04:26

-Most days, yes,

-we do 30 minutes on that.

0:04:270:04:30

-We'll have breakfast and head out

-on the road or hit the track.

0:04:300:04:34

-There are many disciplines in

-the sport. Which is your favourite?

0:04:340:04:39

-I'd say the track.

0:04:390:04:40

-I like the road

-but I'm better on the track.

0:04:410:04:43

-What is it about the track

-that gets the adrenalin going?

0:04:430:04:47

-It's so fast and so exciting.

0:04:470:04:49

-Anything can happen and it's

-tactical too. I enjoy the track.

0:04:500:04:54

-You live cycling.

-You live and train with cyclists.

0:04:540:04:58

-What's that like?

0:04:580:04:59

-I really like training

-with the best in the world...

0:05:000:05:03

-..people like Laura Trott and Katie

-Archibald, both Olympic champions.

0:05:030:05:07

-You see what people do to be

-the best and you copy them.

0:05:070:05:11

-You have to make a lot of sacrifices

-to be the best.

0:05:110:05:14

-Yes, I left home and lived away

-from my family at 17 years old.

0:05:140:05:18

-I left my friends and my school.

0:05:180:05:20

-Would you show us some

-of the facilities available here?

0:05:210:05:25

-Yes, of course.

0:05:250:05:27

-This is the gym.

0:05:370:05:38

-This is where all

-the hard yards are earned.

0:05:380:05:41

-How often are you here?

0:05:410:05:43

-How often are you here?

-

-Maybe twice a week.

0:05:430:05:45

-It depends what kind of training

-we're doing.

0:05:450:05:48

-What kind of work do you do here?

0:05:480:05:50

-I work the entire body.

-The legs, core and arms.

0:05:510:05:55

-We do a bit of everything.

0:05:550:05:58

-We'll go on the bike then

-but we do a lot of legs.

0:05:580:06:01

-It's nice to come to the gym. It's

-different to sitting on the bike.

0:06:020:06:05

-I'm sure plenty of you have spent

-time here especially after injuries.

0:06:060:06:10

-You get serious injuries.

0:06:100:06:12

-How fast do you travel

-around the track?

0:06:130:06:16

-50-60kph.

0:06:160:06:18

-What's the worst you've had?

0:06:180:06:21

-I've broken my pelvis, twice.

0:06:210:06:23

-I broke it last year

-and the year before.

0:06:230:06:26

-It was right in the racing season.

0:06:260:06:28

-I missed

-quite a few important races.

0:06:290:06:31

-Does being injured encourage you

-to push harder?

0:06:320:06:37

-After the accident, I came back and

-I was much better than I was before.

0:06:370:06:42

-I was determined

-to come back better.

0:06:420:06:44

-You've fallen off your bike...

0:06:440:06:47

-..got back on it

-with Katie Archibald and won.

0:06:470:06:50

-Yes.

0:06:500:06:51

-What happened there?

0:06:520:06:53

-What happened there?

-

-I don't know.

0:06:530:06:54

-We crashed 12 laps in.

0:06:540:06:56

-You don't expect it

-and it all happens so fast.

0:06:560:06:59

-We were both on the floor.

0:07:000:07:02

-We missed a few laps

-and then jumped back in.

0:07:020:07:06

-I'm not sure we knew what we were

-doing. We were just peddling fast.

0:07:060:07:11

-We ended up winning, which was good

-as it was in Glasgow.

0:07:110:07:14

-It was the World Cup.

-We had the crowd behind us.

0:07:150:07:18

-Did you have your family there too?

0:07:180:07:20

-Did you have your family there too?

-

-Yes, they were.

0:07:200:07:22

-My little brother

-was upset that I'd crashed.

0:07:220:07:25

-I'm glad I won.

0:07:250:07:26

-Do you come

-from a cycling background?

0:07:320:07:35

-No, my family are farmers.

0:07:350:07:37

-What do they farm?

0:07:370:07:39

-What do they farm?

-

-They keep sheep.

0:07:390:07:40

-Do you miss it?

0:07:400:07:41

-Yes, I do miss it

-when I'm here in Manchester.

0:07:410:07:45

-I'm sure they miss you too.

0:07:460:07:48

-These are the bikes.

0:07:530:07:54

-These are the bikes.

-

-The all-important storeroom!

0:07:540:07:56

-How many bikes do you have here?

0:07:570:07:59

-I have two bikes here.

0:07:590:08:01

-One with these bars for bunch races.

0:08:010:08:05

-I have another one with these bars

-for the team and individual pursuit.

0:08:060:08:10

-How many do you have all together?

0:08:100:08:12

-I've got five bikes in total.

0:08:130:08:15

-I have three road bikes

-and two track bikes.

0:08:150:08:18

-This is where the bikes get fixed.

0:08:240:08:27

-This is where the bikes get fixed.

-

-Yes, these are the mechanics.

0:08:270:08:29

-I'm sure the slightest change can

-make a world of difference for you.

0:08:290:08:34

-Our bikes have to be working 100%.

0:08:340:08:37

-It can be dangerous

-if something's broken.

0:08:370:08:40

-Have you ever noticed

-any slight changes you've made...

0:08:400:08:44

-..before a race

-that's made a huge difference?

0:08:440:08:47

-Yes, having the right wheels.

0:08:490:08:51

-The disk wheels

-where the spokes are covered.

0:08:510:08:54

-Those are very fast on the track.

0:08:550:08:57

-How much time do they save?

0:08:570:08:59

-How much time do they save?

-

-Ten seconds, maybe more on track.

0:08:590:09:01

-As much as that?

0:09:010:09:03

-That could be the difference between

-winning a race and coming last.

0:09:030:09:07

-You must have a good relationship

-with the lads here.

0:09:080:09:11

-Yes. They're very good to us.

0:09:120:09:14

-They do what we want to the bikes.

0:09:140:09:17

-Do they travel with you,

-between races?

0:09:170:09:20

-Yes, they come

-to every road and track race.

0:09:200:09:22

-They follow us in the car

-on the road races.

0:09:230:09:25

-If there's a problem in a race...

0:09:250:09:27

-..we stick our hands up

-and head back to the car.

0:09:270:09:30

-They can fix it through a window.

0:09:300:09:32

-The velodrome is where

-all the excitement happens.

0:09:360:09:40

-That area's of key importance

-in terms of preparation.

0:09:400:09:43

-Yes, it's where we warm up and talk

-about training and analysis.

0:09:430:09:48

-When you're on the start line

-before the gun goes...

0:09:480:09:51

-..what goes through your mind?

0:09:520:09:53

-You go in to every race with

-something different in your mind.

0:09:540:09:57

-Some races there'll be tactics

-and you'll follow someone.

0:09:580:10:01

-In other races, I'll just go

-off the front on my own.

0:10:010:10:05

-You've raced here

-when the velodrome is packed.

0:10:050:10:09

-What does it feel like?

-What's the atmosphere like?

0:10:090:10:13

-It's amazing to have the whole crowd

-behind you when it's full.

0:10:130:10:17

-When you win, it's so incredible.

0:10:170:10:20

-Manon, you've brought us here...

0:10:350:10:37

-..to see Cyclefit,

-one of your sponsors.

0:10:370:10:39

-Why?

0:10:390:10:40

-I come to Cyclefit

-to have my bike fitted.

0:10:410:10:43

-I come here

-to have my body measured.

0:10:430:10:47

-I spend a lot of time

-on the bike...

0:10:470:10:49

-..it has to be comfortable

-and right for my body.

0:10:490:10:52

-How does the process of creating

-a bike unique to you work?

0:10:520:10:56

-It's all done on computers.

0:10:560:10:59

-They measure everything.

0:10:590:11:01

-They then set me up

-on a bike to test it out.

0:11:020:11:05

-If I like it

-and I'm comfortable with it...

0:11:050:11:08

-..they'll change it on this bike.

0:11:080:11:10

-Such minor changes

-can make a major difference.

0:11:100:11:13

-The difference between winning

-and losing.

0:11:130:11:16

-How important is sponsorship

-these days as a professional?

0:11:160:11:20

-It helps a lot

-and makes my job much easier.

0:11:200:11:23

-What's your highlight so far?

0:11:230:11:25

-I won the European Championships

-in the team pursuit...

0:11:260:11:29

-..after breaking my pelvis.

0:11:290:11:31

-I was back on the bike

-after a month and a half.

0:11:310:11:33

-And then I was

-on the start line racing.

0:11:340:11:36

-Breaking your pelvis is a low point.

0:11:370:11:40

-I'm sure crossing that finish line

-was a sweet feeling.

0:11:400:11:46

-Yes, it was awesome.

0:11:460:11:48

-What about the future?

0:11:480:11:50

-Next year, I'd like to compete at

-the Commonwealth Games in Australia.

0:11:500:11:55

-I'd also like to compete in Tokyo.

0:11:550:11:57

-Yes, Tokyo is three years away.

0:11:580:12:00

-That's the greatest goal.

0:12:010:12:02

-That's the greatest goal.

-

-In which discipline?

0:12:020:12:03

-I'm hoping the team pursuit.

-That's the discipline I most enjoy.

0:12:040:12:07

-Are you preparing

-for the next race next week...

0:12:080:12:13

-..or for the Commonwealth Games...

0:12:130:12:16

-..or are you preparing for Tokyo?

0:12:160:12:19

-Well, everything I'm doing now

-is with Tokyo in mind.

0:12:200:12:23

-It's not about a month from now.

0:12:230:12:25

-Good luck.

0:12:260:12:27

-It's been a huge pleasure

-to spend the day with you.

0:12:270:12:31

-Good luck

-with the rest of your career.

0:12:320:12:35

-Manon clearly works very hard

-and is deserving of her success.

0:12:410:12:45

-After the break, I meet

-clay pigeon shooter Rhys Lewis.

0:12:450:12:50

-See you soon.

-My name is Rhys Lewis.

0:13:060:13:07

-I'm 27 and I live in Machynlleth

-in the Dyfi valley.

0:13:070:13:11

-In April 2014,

-I had a serious accident.

0:13:140:13:17

-It put me in a wheelchair.

0:13:180:13:20

-Since then,

-I started clay pigeon shooting.

0:13:220:13:25

-I travel all over the country

-to compete.

0:13:250:13:28

-Rhys's story is remarkable.

0:13:310:13:33

-He's had to accept

-that he'll never walk again.

0:13:330:13:36

-Since then, he's taken up a sport...

0:13:360:13:39

-..and worked exceptionally hard

-to make the most of it.

0:13:390:13:42

-It shows that he's got great spirit

-and dedication.

0:13:430:13:46

-Hi, Rhys.

-This is a wonderful place to live.

0:13:460:13:50

-How did this interest in shooting

-clay pigeons start, Rhys?

0:13:510:13:55

-I've been interested in it

-for years.

0:13:560:13:58

-My grandfather

-used to shoot for Wales.

0:13:580:14:01

-I've been hearing about that

-for years.

0:14:010:14:03

-It was something

-that I'd always wanted to do.

0:14:040:14:08

-I try to go once or twice,

-usually twice a week.

0:14:090:14:11

-I compete on the weekend

-or every other weekend.

0:14:120:14:15

-How much of your time

-does training take?

0:14:150:14:18

-I try to do a slot

-of around two hours.

0:14:190:14:21

-I do 25 at a time.

0:14:220:14:25

-I mix it up then,

-so it's more like a competition.

0:14:250:14:30

-Around how many clay pigeons

-will you shoot in two hours?

0:14:300:14:36

-I try to do around 100 every time,

-if I can.

0:14:360:14:39

-It depends where or not

-I'm shooting at the weekend.

0:14:390:14:42

-Recently, I haven't been able

-to shoot at the weekend.

0:14:430:14:47

-I only do fifty.

0:14:470:14:48

-Do you have someone there helping

-you or do you train yourself?

0:14:490:14:54

-I train myself most of the time.

0:14:550:14:58

-I've had a few tips from a couple

-of the lads down there.

0:14:580:15:02

-Your talent is quite natural.

0:15:020:15:04

-You've worked hard

-to develop that talent.

0:15:050:15:07

-Yes, if I take two or three weeks

-off training...

0:15:100:15:14

-..I really notice it when I go back.

0:15:140:15:17

-Does the eye slow down

-when you take time off?

0:15:170:15:21

-It's the reaction time

-for everything, really.

0:15:210:15:25

-Is there a specific season

-for those competitions?

0:15:280:15:31

-They say the season lasts...

0:15:320:15:34

-..from the middle of April

-until October.

0:15:340:15:37

-I've been shooting

-every other weekend all winter.

0:15:370:15:40

-There isn't really an off season.

0:15:400:15:43

-Is there a dream or ambition

-you're aiming for?

0:15:430:15:47

-In the short term, the qualifiers

-for the Wales team...

0:15:490:15:52

-..start on the second weekend

-of May.

0:15:520:15:55

-I'm hoping to qualify

-for the team...

0:15:550:15:58

-..to make the home international

-in Scotland.

0:15:580:16:00

-In the long term, I'm hoping

-that the Olympic trap shoot...

0:16:010:16:05

-..will come to the Paralympics

-in 2024.

0:16:050:16:08

-I'll then change disciplines and

-hopefully make the Paralympic team.

0:16:080:16:12

-Can you explain

-the different disciplines?

0:16:130:16:17

-At the moment,

-I'm shooting down the line.

0:16:170:16:19

-There's one trap and speed,

-they shoot out to around 45m.

0:16:200:16:23

-They come out at a 25 degree angle.

0:16:230:16:26

-Olympic Trap throws out between 75

-and 80 metres at a 45 degree angle.

0:16:270:16:32

-The clay pigeons can come from one

-of 15 traps. It's a big difference.

0:16:320:16:36

-The timings are totally different.

-It's a faster discipline.

0:16:380:16:42

-Do you enjoy the competing?

0:16:430:16:45

-Do you enjoy the competing?

-

-I really do.

0:16:450:16:46

-Does the adrenalin flow?

0:16:460:16:48

-Does the adrenalin flow?

-

-It does.

0:16:480:16:49

-Are you nervous

-when the competition starts?

0:16:490:16:52

-When the first

-clay pigeon fires out.

0:16:530:16:55

-I'm nervous

-until I've done the first five.

0:16:560:16:59

-Once I've done the first five,

-I've settled in.

0:16:590:17:03

-Do you know after the first five

-how it's going to go?

0:17:030:17:07

-Whether you're at your best or not.

-Do you get any feelings like that?

0:17:070:17:11

-It depends.

0:17:110:17:13

-If I've shot the first five

-in the middle...

0:17:130:17:16

-..and there's nothing left of them,

-I know it's going to be good.

0:17:160:17:21

-If a few just break in half,

-it's different.

0:17:210:17:25

-It could be a long day.

0:17:260:17:27

-You've shot 100 out of 100

-consecutively.

0:17:280:17:31

-That sounds incredible.

0:17:310:17:32

-I shot 100 out of 100.

0:17:330:17:34

-I shot 100 out of 100.

-

-Is that a perfect score?

0:17:340:17:35

-Not quite, not quite.

0:17:360:17:38

-In the discipline I shoot, a first

-barrel kill gives you three points.

0:17:390:17:44

-A second barrel kill is two points.

0:17:440:17:46

-Perfection is 100 clay pigeons

-and 300 points.

0:17:480:17:53

-I did 100 clay pigeons

-with 296 points.

0:17:540:17:58

-I had four second barrels.

0:17:580:18:00

-Is it frustrating?

0:18:000:18:01

-Is it frustrating?

-

-Yes, it is.

0:18:010:18:02

-Rhys trains at Mid Wales

-Shooting Centre near Llanidloes.

0:18:060:18:11

-Rhys, I'm sure I've counted

-over 120 guns at this shop.

0:18:160:18:20

-It's amazing.

0:18:200:18:21

-It's like a sweetshop

-for people like me!

0:18:220:18:24

-Most of these are second-hand.

0:18:260:18:28

-Two guns in

-is the gun I used to shoot the 100.

0:18:290:18:33

-They don't depreciate.

0:18:330:18:35

-No.

0:18:350:18:37

-What are the differences

-in these guns?

0:18:380:18:40

-The quality of the wood

-is a factor.

0:18:410:18:43

-Being handmade or factory made

-is another consideration.

0:18:430:18:47

-The engraving is also important.

0:18:470:18:49

-Are there ones

-which are better for your style?

0:18:490:18:53

-I compare it to buying a car.

0:18:540:18:56

-Everyone has their own taste.

0:18:570:18:59

-A lot of it is personal preference.

0:18:590:19:02

-How much would the cheapest gun here

-cost?

0:19:030:19:06

-300-350.

0:19:070:19:08

-And what about the most expensive?

0:19:080:19:10

-You're talking about 40,000

-for those top two.

0:19:100:19:13

-You can see all that engraving

-and detail.

0:19:160:19:18

-Those two are identical.

0:19:190:19:21

-Can you buy them individually

-or do they come as a pair?

0:19:230:19:26

-It wouldn't be worth

-buying one on its own.

0:19:270:19:30

-As a pair, they'd be worth more

-in ten or twelve years.

0:19:300:19:36

-I see.

0:19:360:19:38

-How many do you have at present?

0:19:380:19:40

-How many do you have at present?

-

-I've got five in the cabinet.

0:19:400:19:42

-The first gun I ever got

-was around 100.

0:19:420:19:46

-I've got another gun that I use

-to shoot pheasants mostly.

0:19:470:19:51

-That was a gift on my 21st birthday.

0:19:520:19:56

-There's some sentimental value

-to that.

0:19:560:19:59

-I've got an everyday gun

-for use on the farm...

0:20:000:20:03

-..and then two guns

-to shoot clay pigeons.

0:20:030:20:06

-There are plenty of huts here, Rhys.

-Are they different?

0:20:110:20:15

-They're all the same.

-They're all down the line ranges.

0:20:150:20:19

-That's one specific discipline.

0:20:190:20:21

-That's one specific discipline.

-

-Yes, it's the main one.

0:20:210:20:23

-What's the green box?

0:20:240:20:26

-The trap that releases all the

-clay pigeons is in the green box.

0:20:260:20:30

-In front of us,

-there's a microphone.

0:20:330:20:35

-When someone calls "pull"

-or makes a noise...

0:20:350:20:38

-..the trap hears it

-and releases a clay pigeon.

0:20:390:20:42

-It's voice activated.

0:20:420:20:44

-Pull.

0:20:500:20:52

-Rhys makes it look easy.

0:20:550:20:56

-I had to have a go.

0:20:560:20:58

-This is my gun.

0:20:580:21:00

-Firstly and most importantly,

-I'm left-handed.

0:21:000:21:04

-You're not.

0:21:040:21:05

-Luckily,

-I brought a left-hand gun with me!

0:21:050:21:08

-How do I start?

0:21:090:21:11

-This gun is empty, we have it open

-and there's nothing in it.

0:21:120:21:15

-We'll go through the stages quickly

-without loading it.

0:21:160:21:19

-I'll give you back the gun.

0:21:200:21:22

-Close the gun.

0:21:220:21:23

-Place it into your left shoulder.

0:21:240:21:26

-There?

0:21:260:21:27

-You look down the barrel

-and try to line the two dots up.

0:21:280:21:32

-Before the clay comes out,

-you look at the post out there.

0:21:330:21:37

-When the clay comes out...

0:21:370:21:39

-..you follow it and when you're

-comfortable, pull the trigger.

0:21:390:21:43

-Pull... bang.

0:21:430:21:45

-Pull... bang.

-

-Yup.

0:21:450:21:46

-I hit it!

0:21:460:21:47

-We'll see now.

0:21:480:21:49

-There are also ear plugs.

0:21:510:21:52

-It's most important to do that.

0:21:530:21:55

-Give it a go.

0:21:570:21:59

-Do I close it?

0:21:590:22:00

-Yup.

0:22:000:22:01

-So, I shout.

0:22:030:22:04

-Pull.

0:22:050:22:06

-Too early.

0:22:080:22:09

-Too early.

-

-Miles off.

0:22:090:22:10

-You shot too early.

0:22:110:22:11

-You shot too early.

-

-Too early with the first.

0:22:110:22:14

-I was too late with the second.

0:22:140:22:16

-Wait until you see it, go past it...

0:22:160:22:19

-..and then pull the trigger.

0:22:200:22:22

-Pull.

0:22:230:22:24

-There you are.

0:22:260:22:28

-There you are.

-

-Get in!

0:22:280:22:29

-It's easy!

0:22:300:22:31

-I need to get 100 in a row.

0:22:310:22:34

-Pull.

0:22:390:22:41

-Shot.

0:22:410:22:41

-Shot.

-

-Yes!

0:22:410:22:42

-Hey! How did I do?

0:22:430:22:45

-What do you think?

0:22:450:22:47

-What do you think?

-

-Very good. Very good.

0:22:470:22:48

-Will I make the team?

0:22:480:22:50

-With a bit of practice, maybe.

0:22:510:22:54

-Beginner's luck. If you're honest.

0:22:540:22:57

-Have you enjoyed your day out?

0:22:570:22:59

-I love that. I can see where you get

-the buzz and the adrenalin rush.

0:23:000:23:04

-The buzz of watching the clay pigeon

-disintegrate is amazing.

0:23:070:23:12

-It's a real buzz, isn't it?

0:23:120:23:13

-It's a real buzz, isn't it?

-

-Absolutely.

0:23:130:23:14

-You'll have to bring the Wales team

-here for a day out.

0:23:150:23:18

-To help with their shooting!

0:23:180:23:20

-Pull.

0:23:240:23:25

-Your enthusiasm

-for the sport is clear.

0:23:280:23:31

-What's your advice for young people

-with disabilities...

0:23:310:23:35

-..in terms of starting a sport

-and the motivation needed?

0:23:350:23:39

-Well, I think there are plenty of

-opportunities for young people...

0:23:420:23:46

-..and not just disabled people,

-but in general.

0:23:460:23:50

-I think the first step is to get in

-touch with Disability Sport Wales.

0:23:520:23:58

-On their website, there are officers

-in every county in the country.

0:23:580:24:04

-There are plenty of activities

-out there for everyone.

0:24:050:24:08

-There's no doubt you have spirit

-and are dedicated to your sport.

0:24:080:24:13

-It will be fascinating

-to watch your journey.

0:24:130:24:17

-I can only wish you the best

-on trying to make the Wales team.

0:24:170:24:22

-And obviously

-with the Paralympic Games.

0:24:220:24:26

-Thanks very much for today.

0:24:260:24:28

-Good luck, and Millie too.

-Well done, Millie.

0:24:280:24:31

-Good luck with your competitions

-in the next few months.

0:24:310:24:35

-Thanks.

0:24:350:24:36

-Rhys is an inspiration to us all.

0:24:440:24:46

-He's battling to be amongst

-the best in a extraordinary sport.

0:24:460:24:50

-Well done to both him and Manon.

0:24:500:24:52

-Next time, I meet Chloe James.

-She plays netball.

0:24:530:24:57

-I will be in Barnsley

-with footballer Gethin Jones.

0:24:570:25:02

-He's currently on loan from Everton

-and is the U21 Wales captain.

0:25:020:25:07

-Goodbye.

-Around 5,000 properties

-are sold in Wales each month.

0:25:200:25:23

-Each sale is important

-to an estate agent's business.

0:25:240:25:28

-Iestyn Leyshon

-is based in Aberystwyth.

0:25:300:25:34

-This charismatic estate agent

-works for Lloyd Herbert & Jones.

0:25:340:25:40

-Estate agents do much more

-than sell property these days.

0:25:420:25:46

-Iestyn's company

-offers a house clearance service.

0:25:460:25:50

-The items are then sold at auction.

0:25:500:25:53

-Come on then, boys!

0:25:530:25:55

-Let's see this house

-we've just put on the market.

0:25:550:25:58

-There's furniture here

-to be sold at auction.

0:25:580:26:02

-Iestyn must clear an old house...

0:26:030:26:06

-..which has been empty

-for over 35 years.

0:26:060:26:09

-A man and a woman each had a house

-and they loved their own house.

0:26:100:26:15

-One was in Llanbadarn

-and the other was in Borth.

0:26:150:26:18

-They decided to buy this because

-it was central to both properties.

0:26:190:26:23

-They never moved in,

-so it's been empty for years.

0:26:240:26:27

-The timber is rotten.

0:26:280:26:29

-This is a bit of a doer-upper.

0:26:310:26:32

-At first glance, the house

-is full of old treasures...

0:26:340:26:38

-..but Iestyn

-doesn't see it like that.

0:26:380:26:41

-We can't sell this furniture,

-so it will have to go to the tip.

0:26:420:26:46

-This type of furniture

-isn't fashionable today.

0:26:470:26:50

-Fair play to the couple

-who owned it...

0:26:510:26:53

-..they probably bought

-this furniture back in the 1970s.

0:26:540:26:58

-It was probably expensive but

-it's worth next to nothing today.

0:26:580:27:02

-The clearance work must wait.

0:27:060:27:09

-Iestyn needs to prepare

-before the auction at a local hall.

0:27:110:27:14

-All this?

0:27:140:27:16

-All this?

-

-Yes - the job lot.

0:27:160:27:18

-What is this, a gun?

0:27:180:27:19

-What is this, a gun?

-

-A violin.

0:27:190:27:21

-A special one?

0:27:210:27:23

-Ignore that sign!

0:27:230:27:24

-Come inside.

0:27:240:27:26

-With the stock expanding...

0:27:280:27:30

-..Rhydypennau Hall

-is starting to look like a museum.

0:27:300:27:34

-These items are ancient...

0:27:350:27:37

-..but we also have stuff

-from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s...

0:27:380:27:42

-..up to the present day.

0:27:420:27:45

-It looks like a museum

-but everything you see is for sale.

0:27:450:27:50

-Will there be room for buyers

-in the jam-packed hall?

0:27:520:27:56

-I don't think there are

-any more items to come to the stage.

0:27:560:28:00

-I've got room over there

-for a table.

0:28:000:28:03

-I'm surprised there was so much

-stuff in a two-bedroom house.

0:28:040:28:09

-We've seen and logged

-most of this stuff before today.

0:28:090:28:14

-We have an idea

-of the number of lots we'll have.

0:28:150:28:17

-We're not very good guesstimators!

0:28:180:28:21

-No, it'll be fine.

0:28:210:28:22

-We'll squeeze it all in

-and we'll be fine by tomorrow.

0:28:220:28:27

-Fingers crossed, Iestyn!

0:28:270:28:30

-Caernarfon's Sophie Williams is on

-the Dafydd Hardy sales team there.

0:28:390:28:44

-She's still learning

-about the business.

0:28:440:28:47

-Sophie is about to show a three-bed

-bungalow to a prospective buyer.

0:28:510:28:57

-What's the secret

-of being a good estate agent?

0:28:580:29:01

-It's all about customer service.

0:29:010:29:04

-You don't have to be a brainbox

-but you have to be good with people.

0:29:040:29:08

-That's important.

-It's always a challenge.

0:29:080:29:11

-You never know

-what the outcome will be.

0:29:120:29:14

-Everyone wants something different.

0:29:150:29:17

-You can't tick everyone's boxes.

0:29:180:29:20

-Some people want a perfect house and

-other people can adjust to a house.

0:29:210:29:26

-It depends on the person.

0:29:270:29:29

-The bungalow

-is on the Gerddi Menai estate...

0:29:310:29:34

-..and it offers

-great views of the Menai Strait.

0:29:350:29:38

-Sophie hopes

-the vista helps sell it.

0:29:390:29:41

-Sam is here to view the house.

0:29:410:29:44

-From Caernarfon originally,

-Sam is keen to move back home...

0:29:440:29:47

-..to be closer to her mother after

-recently becoming a mother herself.

0:29:480:29:52

-The bungalow

-is for sale at 249,000.

0:29:530:29:56

-The owner has moved out,

-so the property is unfurnished.

0:29:570:30:01

-That doesn't stop Sam

-using her imagination.

0:30:020:30:05

-It's spacious

-and you could do a lot to it.

0:30:050:30:08

-It's got potential.

0:30:080:30:10

-You could go up, into the roof,

-and build a loft conversion.

0:30:100:30:14

-The staircase could be here.

0:30:150:30:17

-I'd have to see

-what a builder would say.

0:30:180:30:21

-Yes.

0:30:210:30:23

-You could move the door to there.

0:30:230:30:25

-Yes. Could do.

0:30:250:30:27

-Sam has only just arrived,

-but she's already making plans.

0:30:280:30:33

-What else would she change?

0:30:340:30:36

-I'd change those windows and

-fit a door leading to the garden.

0:30:370:30:41

-Yes, you could do that.

0:30:420:30:43

-What do you think of that?

0:30:450:30:47

-The Artex would have to go

-and so would the carpet.

0:30:480:30:51

-You'd only need to skim it.

0:30:510:30:53

-It won't cost a fortune.

0:30:540:30:55

-I may take down the ceilings

-and redo them.

0:30:550:30:58

-You'd redo them completely?

0:30:590:31:01

-Sam needs a builder,

-if she buys this house.

0:31:010:31:04

-Can Sophie help her?

0:31:050:31:07

-You could open it up, couldn't you?

0:31:070:31:10

-You'd have to get a builder in

-to see if you can knock it through.

0:31:100:31:15

-I'm not a builder

-and I wouldn't know, to be honest.

0:31:150:31:18

-No, Sophie, you'd better

-focus on selling the place.

0:31:190:31:23

-The third bedroom

-has views of the Menai Strait.

0:31:230:31:27

-You'd want to do

-something wow with that view.

0:31:270:31:31

-Yes. That view really is wow.

0:31:320:31:34

-Need to suit the view.

0:31:350:31:36

-The list of renovations gets longer,

-as they reach the kitchen.

0:31:370:31:41

-Would you change all of it?

0:31:420:31:44

-I'd change the whole kitchen.

0:31:440:31:46

-I'd change the whole kitchen.

-

-Oh, dear! More renovations!

0:31:460:31:48

-The small bedroom is next door,

-so I'd turn it into one big kitchen.

0:31:500:31:56

-At least the view is lovely.

0:31:560:31:58

-The view is what sells it.

0:31:590:32:01

-Yes, it's amazing.

-It's in a lovely spot.

0:32:010:32:04

-The view and the location

-will sell this house.

0:32:040:32:08

-I grew up around here...

0:32:080:32:11

-..so it's like going full circle.

0:32:110:32:15

-Where does your mother live?

0:32:150:32:16

-Where does your mother live?

-

-Across the road and up the hill.

0:32:160:32:18

-Ideal. She can help with the baby.

0:32:190:32:20

-Ideal. She can help with the baby.

-

-Yes.

0:32:200:32:21

-Oh, handy.

0:32:210:32:22

-Here we are. We're done.

0:32:240:32:25

-Despite all the alterations

-she'd make...

0:32:260:32:29

-..it's clear to see Sophie has

-promoted the bungalow's potential.

0:32:290:32:34

-I really like it.

0:32:340:32:36

-I've got lots of ideas

-going around in my head.

0:32:360:32:39

-I'll have to go home

-and talk to my husband.

0:32:400:32:42

-Very positive and she has lots

-of ideas for changes she'd make.

0:32:430:32:47

-She can see herself here.

0:32:470:32:49

-Let's hope Sophie's right and the

-location convinces Sam to buy it.

0:32:500:32:54

-On Anglesey, the experienced

-estate agent, Ruth Tottey...

0:32:590:33:04

-..is the manager of the

-Llangefni branch of Dafydd Hardy.

0:33:040:33:08

-Ruth is on her way

-to value a property.

0:33:110:33:13

-She feels at home on the island.

0:33:140:33:16

-I love driving around Anglesey.

0:33:170:33:19

-I'm not great in cities but I feel

-confident driving on the island.

0:33:190:33:23

-I spend three days on the road...

0:33:240:33:27

-..and the rest of the week

-catching up with paperwork...

0:33:270:33:31

-..and carrying out office tasks.

0:33:320:33:34

-I love to snoop around

-people's homes, not really...

0:33:350:33:38

-..but I love to meet people.

0:33:380:33:40

-Today, Ruth meets Heledd and Rhys...

0:33:410:33:44

-..and she's come to snoop

-around their four-bedroom home...

0:33:440:33:49

-..on the Bro Caerwyn estate.

0:33:490:33:51

-Hello. I'm Ruth

-from the Dafydd Hardy office.

0:33:510:33:55

-I'm Rhys.

0:33:550:33:56

-Here's my card.

0:33:560:33:58

-Here's my card.

-

-Come in.

0:33:580:33:59

-This is a good size.

0:34:010:34:03

-What a lovely room.

0:34:030:34:05

-I'd live in here.

0:34:060:34:07

-I wouldn't move!

0:34:080:34:10

-Your little boy

-can play football in here.

0:34:100:34:13

-Who's the gardener?

0:34:150:34:16

-Who's the gardener?

-

-Me.

0:34:160:34:17

-You're doing a great job.

0:34:180:34:19

-Ruth warms to the family

-in no time at all.

0:34:200:34:23

-She's clearly a people person.

0:34:230:34:26

-The dishwasher's there,

-so you don't have to wash up, Rhys.

0:34:270:34:31

-This would have been a dining room.

0:34:320:34:34

-This would have been a dining room.

-

-Yes.

0:34:340:34:36

-So this is your room.

0:34:370:34:38

-You shut the door on Mam and Dad!

0:34:380:34:41

-Yes.

0:34:410:34:42

-The ability to chat

-is a vital part of the job.

0:34:440:34:48

-What's the best thing

-about being an estate agent?

0:34:480:34:51

-Seeing properties

-and I love having a nose.

0:34:520:34:55

-A lot of things.

0:34:580:34:59

-You get a lot of ideas

-and you see a lot of new things.

0:34:590:35:03

-I'm really fond of seeing new

-building techniques in the industry.

0:35:030:35:08

-Finding the right house

-for the right person.

0:35:090:35:13

-I often say

-we're a lot like Match.com!

0:35:140:35:16

-It's like a marriage.

0:35:170:35:20

-We seek to marry the right client

-and the right house.

0:35:200:35:23

-To where are you moving?

0:35:240:35:26

-Not far.

0:35:260:35:28

-We're looking at the outskirts

-of Llangefni and Rhostryfan.

0:35:290:35:33

-How long have you lived here?

0:35:340:35:36

-How long have you lived here?

-

-For 12 years.

0:35:360:35:37

-Wow! So you bought it new.

0:35:370:35:39

-Yes. We watched every brick go up.

0:35:390:35:41

-A brand-new house.

0:35:420:35:43

-Rhys and Heledd

-certainly have a lovely home...

0:35:430:35:47

-..so why move?

0:35:470:35:49

-I'm happy here

-and I took some persuading to move.

0:35:500:35:54

-Rhys is more keen than me.

0:35:540:35:56

-Yes, I'd like somewhere

-with more land and some nice views.

0:35:570:36:01

-Wow! This is a lovely, pink room.

0:36:010:36:05

-This is your room, Gwawr.

0:36:070:36:08

-I'd love a room like this

-because I'm really girly too.

0:36:090:36:13

-This will put the price up because

-it's like a house within a house.

0:36:140:36:19

-Dad's happy with that.

0:36:190:36:21

-It's a really nice family home.

0:36:220:36:25

-It's in excellent condition.

0:36:260:36:28

-It's immaculate.

0:36:280:36:30

-Ruth has seen the whole house,

-so it's time to discuss its value.

0:36:310:36:36

-Pen Derwydd estate is near here

-and they're going for 230 to 240.

0:36:370:36:43

-The properties there

-are all executive houses...

0:36:430:36:48

-..but there's a mixture of styles

-on this estate, isn't there?

0:36:480:36:53

-There are semis here.

0:36:530:36:54

-You live in one of the

-largest properties on the estate.

0:36:550:36:59

-I sold the house next door

-really quickly...

0:36:590:37:02

-..so let's hope

-I can sell this for you too.

0:37:030:37:07

-The owners haven't yet decided which

-agency to use but Ruth is confident.

0:37:080:37:13

-There we are.

0:37:130:37:15

-Job done.

-The average selling price of a house

-in Caernarfon is 141,000.

0:37:300:37:35

-The bungalow in Gerddi Menai

-is on the market at 249,000.

0:37:360:37:41

-It's a valuable property and little

-wonder Sophie is so keen to sell it.

0:37:420:37:48

-Hiya, Sam.

0:37:500:37:51

-I'm phoning to get some feedback

-from you about the viewing.

0:37:520:37:56

-Sophie contacts Sam to ask her

-if she's interested in the bungalow.

0:37:560:38:01

-Sam has since returned for

-a second viewing with her partner.

0:38:010:38:07

-Yes. Taking that into consideration.

0:38:090:38:11

-Oh, great. OK.

0:38:110:38:13

-You want to try 245

-as a starting point.

0:38:130:38:16

-OK, that's a good start.

0:38:160:38:18

-I'll phone the vendor now...

0:38:180:38:20

-..and get back to you, Sam,

-as soon as.

0:38:200:38:23

-Lovely. Thank you. Ta-ta, Sam.

0:38:230:38:25

-245 on Gerddi Menai, Sue. Not bad.

0:38:250:38:28

-What do you think? Good start.

0:38:280:38:30

-What do you think? Good start.

-

-Brill.

0:38:300:38:32

-I'll phone the vendor now.

0:38:320:38:34

-The offer is only

-4,000 under the asking price....

0:38:360:38:39

-..so will the vendor accept it?

0:38:400:38:42

-They offered 245. What do you think?

0:38:420:38:47

-Yes? OK.

0:38:490:38:50

-It's close to the asking price,

-so it's not bad.

0:38:500:38:54

-Brilliant, Mr Jones.

-Thank you very much.

0:38:550:38:58

-Fantastic. Thank you. Ta-ta.

0:38:590:39:01

-Accepted 245, Sue.

0:39:010:39:03

-Fantastic.

0:39:030:39:04

-It's good news

-for Sam and for Sophie.

0:39:060:39:09

-Selling houses

-comes naturally to Sophie.

0:39:100:39:13

-The hall in Rhydypennau is full.

0:39:160:39:19

-Iestyn and the team are busy

-sorting out the auction lots.

0:39:190:39:24

-We're numbering

-all the lots you see in the hall.

0:39:250:39:28

-We're now

-on lot 117 of around 800...

0:39:290:39:31

-..so there's 700 to go.

0:39:310:39:34

-I hope you brought a sleeping bag.

0:39:350:39:37

-Fortunately, Iestyn has help

-to complete this mammoth task.

0:39:380:39:43

-Wonderful! The top team.

0:39:430:39:46

-I have high blood pressure because

-I've got to put up with them all.

0:39:470:39:51

-Some keen prospective buyers

-have arrived early...

0:39:550:39:58

-..before the official viewing.

0:39:590:40:01

-It's 8.00pm and we've finished.

0:40:020:40:04

-The official viewing

-is at 9.00am tomorrow...

0:40:050:40:08

-..but regulars like Mr Willis

-like to come in early.

0:40:090:40:12

-There's keen interest in the lots,

-which bodes well for Iestyn.

0:40:140:40:19

-Out of the 800 lots,

-I hope to sell 800!

0:40:210:40:24

-I don't want to

-take anything away from here.

0:40:240:40:27

-We must sell 100 lots per hour.

0:40:290:40:31

-If we slip behind 100 lots per hour,

-we'll be here until 9.00pm tomorrow.

0:40:310:40:37

-Shoo! Off you go,

-or we won't see tomorrow morning.

0:40:380:40:42

-Tomorrow will be a long day

-and Iestyn is keen to go home.

0:40:440:40:47

-Will he succeed in

-clearing the contents of the hall?

0:40:480:40:51

-In Llangefni,

-Ruth has received some good news.

0:40:530:40:56

-We received the instruction

-on the Bro Caerwyn property.

0:40:570:41:01

-We've measured up

-and the details are on the wall.

0:41:010:41:06

-The details will also be

-in the window and on the website.

0:41:060:41:11

-Cross fingers.

0:41:110:41:12

-Ruth is wasting no time...

0:41:130:41:15

-..as she asks her team

-to find a buyer for the house...

0:41:150:41:18

-..which has an asking price

-of just under 240,000.

0:41:190:41:22

-This is a good one

-and it should sell quickly...

0:41:230:41:26

-..just like the house next door.

0:41:260:41:29

-Beth, can you match it

-to all the applicants?

0:41:290:41:32

-I hope we get people

-through the door quickly.

0:41:320:41:35

-Thank you.

0:41:350:41:37

-Ruth has a personal reason for

-needing to sell the house quickly.

0:41:370:41:42

-I retire at the end of September.

0:41:420:41:46

-I told the vendors

-I hope to sell it by then.

0:41:460:41:49

-No pressure, Ruth!

0:41:500:41:51

-It's auction day

-at Rhydypennau Hall...

0:41:550:41:58

-..and prospective buyers

-grab front row seats.

0:41:580:42:01

-The auction's about to start and the

-team was here early this morning.

0:42:020:42:07

-They've been busy with the questions

-about the items for sale today.

0:42:070:42:12

-It's going to be a busy day

-and I'll start on the dot.

0:42:130:42:16

-Iestyn is today's auctioneer and

-he puts his stamp on proceedings.

0:42:190:42:24

-Is the microphone on?

0:42:240:42:25

-Turn it up a touch.

0:42:260:42:28

-Is it on?

0:42:280:42:30

-Too much! Turn it down a bit.

0:42:300:42:33

-Just a tiny touch.

0:42:330:42:35

-Whoa! Whoa! Good, good, good.

0:42:350:42:38

-Welcome to the auction.

0:42:380:42:40

-It's good to see

-so many happy faces.

0:42:400:42:43

-Happy, happy.

0:42:440:42:46

-Let's get the auction started.

0:42:470:42:49

-Lot number one.

-Two boxes of dairywear?

0:42:490:42:52

-That's a good start, innit?

0:42:520:42:54

-Who spelt that?

0:42:540:42:56

-Lot number one.

0:42:560:42:58

-That would never happen

-in Sotheby's!

0:42:580:43:00

-But there are bargains here.

0:43:010:43:03

-Mrs Jandrill, 1, surely.

0:43:030:43:05

-Mrs Jandrill, 1.

0:43:060:43:07

-Not too many times.

0:43:080:43:09

-Once we get the momentum going,

-they'll be happy here.

0:43:090:43:13

-As Iestyn gets warmed up,

-the bids come in thick and fast.

0:43:150:43:18

-Well, a bit faster at least.

0:43:190:43:21

-Who wants it for 1?

0:43:210:43:23

-The first one to put their hand up

-will buy it for 1.

0:43:230:43:27

-One box in particular

-attracts attention.

0:43:280:43:32

-Lot 70, a black box with no key.

0:43:330:43:35

-A mystery lot.

0:43:360:43:37

-I do like you. 1, 2, 3, 4.

0:43:370:43:41

-6, 8, 10.

0:43:410:43:44

-Amazingly, the people are bidding

-for what could be a worthless item.

0:43:450:43:50

-I won't open these boxes again.

0:43:500:43:52

-55, 57.

0:43:530:43:54

-At 57, my hammer's going up.

0:43:550:43:57

-Sold at 57. Mr Wray.

0:43:570:44:00

-In Caernarfon,

-Sam has received the keys...

0:44:010:44:04

-..to her new home in Gerddi Menai.

0:44:040:44:07

-As you can see, we're in the process

-of unpacking boxes.

0:44:080:44:12

-The place is a mess!

0:44:130:44:14

-I'm glad

-I don't move house every year.

0:44:150:44:18

-We'll be even busier

-when we modernize this house.

0:44:180:44:22

-A new, exciting period

-is beginning for Sam and her family.

0:44:240:44:29

-Is this their forever home?

0:44:290:44:31

-We've given ourselves a year

-to complete this project.

0:44:320:44:36

-We'll then see how we settle.

0:44:360:44:39

-This will be our home

-until our baby starts school.

0:44:400:44:43

-My partner is already

-looking for a new project.

0:44:440:44:48

-He's got something in the pipeline.

-Watch this space!

-In Llangefni, the race to sell

-Bro Caerwyn was over in a flash.

0:45:000:45:05

-We didn't get

-the response we'd hoped for.

0:45:050:45:08

-They took the house off the market

-and they plan to build an extension.

0:45:100:45:15

-It's just one of those things.

0:45:160:45:18

-There's no explanation

-for the property not selling.

0:45:180:45:22

-It's a brilliant house.

0:45:220:45:24

-I think the price was right too.

0:45:240:45:26

-It's just one of those things.

0:45:260:45:28

-We, as estate agents,

-are sometimes taken by surprise.

0:45:290:45:33

-We're really excited

-as we leave the valuation meeting...

0:45:330:45:37

-..and we think,

-"Yes! This one's in the bag."

0:45:370:45:40

-On this occasion, that

-wasn't the case and it's baffling.

0:45:410:45:45

-Selling houses can be a challenge.

0:45:460:45:49

-What makes a good estate agent?

0:45:500:45:52

-They must be approachable

-and chatty.

0:45:530:45:56

-People must feel relaxed

-in their company.

0:45:560:45:59

-Just a nice person, in general.

0:46:000:46:03

-You've got to know your area well...

0:46:040:46:06

-..and know the type of people

-who tend to buy properties.

0:46:070:46:11

-An estate agent

-has got to be honest.

0:46:120:46:14

-I know estate agents don't have

-the best reputation in the world.

0:46:150:46:19

-That's why

-it's really important to be honest.

0:46:190:46:23

-We must also be good listeners.

0:46:230:46:25

-Things are hotting up

-at the auction in Rhydypennau.

0:46:260:46:30

-200?

0:46:310:46:32

-200, 220, 240.

0:46:320:46:34

-260, 280, 300.

0:46:340:46:37

-At 300, any other bidders?

0:46:370:46:39

-At 300, my little hammer's going up

-once, twice, third and final time.

0:46:400:46:45

-Sold at 300.

0:46:450:46:47

-Mr Wray.

0:46:470:46:48

-I think he's building a naval boat.

0:46:480:46:51

-We got off to a slow start,

-as everyone got into it.

0:46:520:46:55

-We then had some high sales

-with the naval lots.

0:46:550:46:59

-As the auction continues,

-it gets busier...

0:46:590:47:03

-..and the lots gradually disappear.

0:47:030:47:06

-Has Iestyn reached his target

-of selling 100 lots per hour?

0:47:070:47:11

-We're on lot 260

-out of a total of 830.

0:47:120:47:17

-We'll get through the furniture

-a lot faster.

0:47:210:47:26

-Fair play, your enthusiasm

-knows no bounds, Iestyn.

0:47:260:47:31

-Sorry! Who's the boss?

0:47:310:47:32

-There's another long day

-ahead of you, Iestyn.

0:47:330:47:36

-While Sam enjoys moving house,

-the Hearn family wasn't quite ready.

0:47:410:47:46

-And so, Ruth moves on

-to the next challenge.

0:47:470:47:50

-Let's hope Iestyn's

-finished at the auction by now.
