-In wrestling, you throw -your opponent to the floor...	0:02:45	0:02:49
-..and pin them on their back.	0:02:49	0:02:51
-It's an advantage -to be bigger than your opponent.	0:02:51	0:02:55
-We compete in weight categories.	0:02:55	0:02:58
-Owain has an advantage, -unfortunately.	0:02:58	0:03:01

-How did you get started?	0:03:40	0:03:41
-Were you a sporty child?	0:03:42	0:03:43

-A judo club -opened in Pontarddulais...	0:04:05	0:04:08
-..and Mami asked me to take -my little brother down there.	0:04:08	0:04:12
-I was ten or eleven -and he was four or five.	0:04:12	0:04:15
-I went down there -with my brother and my sister.	0:04:15	0:04:18
-As soon as I started to fight people -I really enjoyed it.	0:04:19	0:04:23
-I didn't stop until I retired.	0:04:23	0:04:25
-You haven't stopped fighting -since then!	0:04:25	0:04:28
-When did you take up rugby?	0:04:28	0:04:30
-I went to college in Cardiff and -I studied Sports Science at Cyncoed.	0:04:32	0:04:37
-Andrea Evans told me there was -a women's rugby team there...	0:04:38	0:04:42
-..and she was going to see -what they did.	0:04:42	0:04:45
-A rugby tackle -is very similar to a throw in judo.	0:04:46	0:04:49
-You hold the legs and you slam -the opponent on their back.	0:04:49	0:04:53
-I went to rugby training.	0:04:54	0:04:56
-I was a fast runner anyway. -I enjoyed athletics at school.	0:04:56	0:05:00
-I picked it up quickly. -Rugby came naturally to me.	0:05:00	0:05:04
-I played for the Wales Students -team when I was 20.	0:05:04	0:05:08
-I then played for Wales A...	0:05:08	0:05:10
-..and I got my first full cap -three years after I took up rugby.	0:05:10	0:05:14
-You were capped 87 times.	0:05:15	0:05:17
-That's right. Fair play.	0:05:17	0:05:19
-That's right. Fair play. - -I've done my research!	0:05:19	0:05:20
-You were capped 87 times.	0:05:21	0:05:22
-How does it feel -to play for your country?	0:05:23	0:05:26
-It's really special.	0:05:26	0:05:28
-In judo, wrestling and weightlifting -I often represented Great Britain...	0:05:28	0:05:36
-..but standing with the team -and singing the national anthem...	0:05:36	0:05:41
-..was a wonderful feeling.	0:05:41	0:05:44
-Wrestling.	0:05:47	0:05:48
-Did you just -think to yourself one day...	0:05:49	0:05:52
-.."Ooh! I'd love to be a wrestler"?	0:05:52	0:05:55
-No. Wrestling and judo -are very similar.	0:05:55	0:05:59
-I started wrestling because -I wanted to compete in London 2012.	0:05:59	0:06:03
-I stopped doing judo in 2002 -because rugby took over.	0:06:04	0:06:07
-I couldn't do both things.	0:06:08	0:06:09
-Rugby is such a physical sport.	0:06:10	0:06:12
-My old judo trainer -phoned me up...	0:06:12	0:06:14
-..and told me there was -a wrestling club opening in Cardiff.	0:06:15	0:06:19
-I went down there...	0:06:19	0:06:21
-..and as soon as I was -out on the mat, I was hooked.	0:06:21	0:06:24
-I went to the Delhi -Commonwealth Games and did well...	0:06:25	0:06:29
-..and my aim was to compete -at the London Olympics.	0:06:29	0:06:33
-Unfortunately, I suffered an injury.	0:06:33	0:06:36
-I tore my hamstring -right off the bone.	0:06:36	0:06:39
-What's hamstring in Welsh?	0:06:39	0:06:41
-What's hamstring in Welsh? - -Llinyn y gar.	0:06:41	0:06:42
-I've learned something new today.	0:06:43	0:06:45
-You broke it?	0:06:45	0:06:47
-It tore away from the bone -when I was throwing this girl.	0:06:47	0:06:51
-I knew it was impossible to recover -in time for the Olympics...	0:06:51	0:06:55
-..and I may not -have made the team anyway...	0:06:56	0:06:59
-..so I retired from the sport.	0:06:59	0:07:01
-I then felt very low -because it was my life.	0:07:01	0:07:04
-How does someone -who's spent their life...	0:07:06	0:07:09
-..doing various sports -at a professional level...	0:07:09	0:07:13
-..face the fact that they can't be -a professional athlete?	0:07:13	0:07:17
-You say professional, -but I was never paid...	0:07:19	0:07:22
-..so I worked -throughout my sports career.	0:07:22	0:07:27
-You were never paid?	0:07:27	0:07:28
-You were never paid? - -No, not a penny.	0:07:28	0:07:30
-It's not fair on women.	0:07:30	0:07:32
-If I were a man, -I'd be worth a lot of money now!	0:07:32	0:07:36
-I wouldn't change it for the world.	0:07:36	0:07:39
-I felt low -because training was my life.	0:07:40	0:07:42
-Yes, I had to go to work -to earn money.	0:07:43	0:07:45
-I'd suffered lots of bad injuries -but I always knew I'd come back.	0:07:45	0:07:50
-This time, -I knew age wasn't on my side...	0:07:50	0:07:53
-..and I'd decided to retire -from rugby after the World Cup.	0:07:53	0:07:57
-And so, that was that.	0:07:58	0:07:59
-It left a huge gap in my life.	0:07:59	0:08:02
-You've now launched -a new business venture.	0:08:03	0:08:06
-What are you up to?	0:08:06	0:08:08
-For years, people have come up to me -and said...	0:08:10	0:08:13
-.."You're Non Evans - you're fit, -so how did you get your six-pack?"	0:08:13	0:08:18
-I'd offer people advice on things -like Facebook and later, Twitter.	0:08:18	0:08:24
-I was giving people advice -for free...	0:08:24	0:08:27
-..so I thought -I should do something about it.	0:08:27	0:08:30
-I did some research -and I set up a small website.	0:08:31	0:08:34
-I charged people a small fee -for fitness advice.	0:08:34	0:08:38
-Since then, it's grown and grown...	0:08:39	0:08:41
-..and I now have a massive website -with thousands of customers.	0:08:41	0:08:46
-I offer personalized plans.	0:08:46	0:08:48

-Yes, and one couple -even said I'd saved their marriage.	0:18:23	0:18:27
-They didn't spend any time together.	0:18:28	0:18:30
-The man approached me, -saying he wanted to lose weight...	0:18:30	0:18:34

-You can use anything -for this exercise.	0:20:09	0:20:12
-Watch me do this.	0:20:12	0:20:14
-Stick out your bottom -and straighten your back.	0:20:14	0:20:18

-All the diet and exercise plans -are on my laptop.	0:23:58	0:24:02
-Without these, I'd have no work, -no money and no job...	0:24:02	0:24:06

-They're so small, -you can tuck them under your arm.	0:24:09	0:24:13
-Yes, and run out of here.	0:24:13	0:24:15

-Yes. It's rare these days.	0:37:38	0:37:40
-For how many generations -have you been here?	0:37:41	0:37:44
-If my grandson takes over, -he'll be the seventh generation.	0:37:44	0:37:49
-What does this farm mean to you?	0:37:49	0:37:52
-What does this farm mean to you? - -I was born and raised here.	0:37:52	0:37:54
-I know its history.	0:37:54	0:37:56
-My roots are very deep in this land.	0:37:57	0:37:59
-Your grandson will take over?	0:38:00	0:38:02
-Your grandson will take over? - -Yes, and I'm delighted about that.	0:38:02	0:38:04
-I'd started to fear -we'd have to sell the place...	0:38:05	0:38:08
-..but Gruff has decided -he wants to be a farmer...	0:38:08	0:38:12
-..and God has stopped making land!	0:38:12	0:38:14
-Yes, that was a while ago!	0:38:15	0:38:16
-It will be lovely -to see him take over.	0:38:17	0:38:19
-How important -is the name of a field to you?	0:38:20	0:38:23
-Very important, but it's something -you only realize then you're older.	0:38:23	0:38:28
-I wonder how Cae Bwa Saethau -and Perthi Gochel got their names.	0:38:31	0:38:35
-Do you call the field -Bwa Saethau - Bow And Arrows?	0:38:36	0:38:40
-No, I'm afraid not. -We call it Cae Morgan.	0:38:41	0:38:44
-Maybe we should revert -to the old name.	0:38:44	0:38:47
-It's more romantic than Cae Morgan!	0:38:47	0:38:50
-It's more romantic than Cae Morgan! - -Yes, very much so.	0:38:50	0:38:51
-Eirian's roots are in the farm, -going back six generations.	0:39:00	0:39:04
-She looks forward to seeing -Gruff, her grandson, taking over.	0:39:04	0:39:09
-We rejoin Brychan now, as he chats -to Arwel, Eirian's husband...	0:39:10	0:39:14
-..about sheep and the way -farming has changed in the area.	0:39:15	0:39:19
-Arwel, Eirian's husband, -is glad of Gruff's help today...	0:39:28	0:39:32
-..as they prepare to send the flock -to Cynwyl Elfed for the winter.	0:39:32	0:39:37
-It's a big day, Arwel.	0:39:40	0:39:41
-Yes, that's very true.	0:39:42	0:39:44
-The sheep are going away -to tack for the winter.	0:39:44	0:39:47
-They'll be fatter -when they come back.	0:39:48	0:39:51
-Yes. They're going to tack -on lower grazing land.	0:39:51	0:39:55
-With a bit of luck, they'll be -much bigger when they return.	0:39:55	0:40:00
-You're not -from this area originally.	0:40:01	0:40:04
-No, but I've lived here -for 46 years.	0:40:04	0:40:07
-I come from Pandytudur. -I got married and I moved here.	0:40:08	0:40:11
-The Ysbyty Ifan area -has changed a lot.	0:40:12	0:40:15
-Most farms now crossbreed sheep, -which didn't happen years ago.	0:40:16	0:40:22
-They can't go up to the mountain.	0:40:22	0:40:25
-Almost every farm in this area -sold milk in churns years ago.	0:40:25	0:40:31
-There are only one or two -dairy farms around here today.	0:40:32	0:40:37
-You must be happy -that your grandson will take over.	0:40:39	0:40:43
-Yes. He's keen on farming -and I hope he carries on.	0:40:43	0:40:47
-Arwel there, -talking about the custom...	0:40:55	0:40:58
-..of sending lambs -to the lowlands for the winter...	0:40:58	0:41:02
-..and returning to the upland -in the spring as fat sheep.	0:41:02	0:41:06
-Arwel is delighted that Gruff, his -grandson, wants to be a farmer...	0:41:06	0:41:11
-..during these tough times -for hill farmers.	0:41:12	0:41:15
-Today, this area is quiet...	0:41:19	0:41:21
-..and the main road, the A5, -passes just to the north.	0:41:21	0:41:25
-But several small roads -run through the area.	0:41:28	0:41:32
-During the Middle Ages...	0:41:34	0:41:36
-..a road from east to west -cut through Ysbyty Ifan.	0:41:37	0:41:40
-Pilgrims walked along it, as they -made their way to Bardsey Island.	0:41:43	0:41:48
-The old name for this area is -Dol Gynwal - the meadow of Cynwal.	0:41:53	0:41:58
-The Knights Of St John came here...	0:41:58	0:42:02
-..and built a sanctuary, -or a hospice, for the pilgrims.	0:42:02	0:42:06
-That's how it became known -as Ysbyty Ifan - St John's Hospital.	0:42:07	0:42:11
-This area has changed a lot -over the years.	0:42:17	0:42:20
-At one time, many people lived -and farmed up in the mountains.	0:42:20	0:42:24
-Today, only ruins remain and -those small communities have gone.	0:42:25	0:42:31
-Brychan went for a walk with Eirian -to see some of the ruins...	0:42:32	0:42:36
-..and to hear -about the people who lived there.	0:42:37	0:42:40
-We're clearly -looking at some ancient ruins.	0:42:42	0:42:45
-Does this suggest -more people once lived here?	0:42:47	0:42:50
-Yes. There are 18 old ruins -on Gwern Hywel farm.	0:42:50	0:42:54
-That proves this upland area -was heavily populated at some time.	0:42:54	0:43:00
-The locations for the houses -must have been sheltered.	0:43:00	0:43:04
-Yes, and Hafod Ddiddig -is a good example of that.	0:43:05	0:43:09
-These are its ruins.	0:43:09	0:43:10
-Yes, in the field next to us.	0:43:11	0:43:13
-The wall went through -the middle of the house.	0:43:14	0:43:17
-We're standing -in Snowdonia National Park...	0:43:17	0:43:21
-..but that side -lies outside the Park.	0:43:22	0:43:25
-Hafod Ddiddig straddled the parishes -of Cerrigydrudion and Ysbyty Ifan.	0:43:25	0:43:30
-The old lady of Hafod Ddiddig lived -in one parish and slept in another!	0:43:31	0:43:36
-I wonder if there were -any advantages to that!	0:43:37	0:43:41
-Maybe - a set of twins -were born here!	0:43:41	0:43:44
-You have records there?	0:43:44	0:43:46
-Yes, Evan and Margaret Jones -had twins in 1807.	0:43:47	0:43:50
-Right here?	0:43:53	0:43:54
-Right here? - -Yes.	0:43:54	0:43:55
-This is a list of the people -who were born and raised here?	0:43:55	0:43:59
-Yes, that's right.	0:44:00	0:44:01
-The twins were called -Elin and Margaret Jones.	0:44:01	0:44:05
-Elizabeth Owen -was born here in 1767.	0:44:05	0:44:08
-There was a small community here.	0:44:10	0:44:12
-Yes, from Plas Iolyn to Giler, -to Bryn Gwyn, to Hafod Ddiddig...	0:44:14	0:44:18
-..to Cerrig Gellgwm and Rhyd Goch.	0:44:18	0:44:21
-Do you know stories -about people who lived here?	0:44:21	0:44:25
-There were five houses in Rhyd Goch.	0:44:25	0:44:28
-The men walked from Rhyd Goch to -work in the quarry in Ffestiniog.	0:44:29	0:44:33
-They left at the start of the week -and stayed in the barracks all week.	0:44:34	0:44:39
-They then walked home -at the end of the week.	0:44:39	0:44:42
-It was one man's job -to keep the sheep on the mountain.	0:44:42	0:44:46
-There were no mountain walls then, -so he had to keep them there.	0:44:46	0:44:50
-He had a dog -called Cythraul - devil.	0:44:51	0:44:53
-Cythraul! What a name!	0:44:53	0:44:55
-Yes, you can imagine him shouting, -"Come on, you devil!"	0:44:55	0:44:59
-Hafod is the name given to a house -or a small farm in the mountain.	0:45:05	0:45:10
-Hafod Ddiddig was a quiet place, -unlike the dog in Eirian's story!	0:45:10	0:45:15
-Cythraul - Devil was his name...	0:45:15	0:45:17
-..so he was probably a little devil.	0:45:18	0:45:20
-Bryn Gwyn is the name -of another local ruin.	0:45:30	0:45:33
-Ellen Morris was born there in 1688.	0:45:33	0:45:36
-Ellen went to America -with the Quakers...	0:45:36	0:45:41
-..and she married a Welshman -called Cadwaladr Evans.	0:45:41	0:45:45
-Why do we remember her?	0:45:45	0:45:47
-Well, she was the great-grandmother -of Abraham Lincoln.	0:45:47	0:45:52
-Brychan and Eirian -will tell us more.	0:45:53	0:45:56
-The striking, derelict farmhouse -of Bryn Gwyn...	0:46:05	0:46:08
-..stands in Cae'r Gadlas - -Farmyard Field.	0:46:09	0:46:12
-A very special story -hides between the walls.	0:46:14	0:46:17
-Eirian, at first glance this is -an unremarkable old cottage.	0:46:18	0:46:22
-That isn't the case.	0:46:22	0:46:24
-No. This building -is steeped in history.	0:46:24	0:46:27
-Abraham Lincoln's great-grandmother -was born here.	0:46:27	0:46:31
-Her name was Ellen Morris...	0:46:32	0:46:34
-..and she joined the Quakers -in Bala.	0:46:34	0:46:37
-She walked to Bala from here, -over the mountain.	0:46:37	0:46:41
-Bala isn't far from here, -as the crow flies.	0:46:41	0:46:44
-She left Bala with the Quakers -and headed to Liverpool.	0:46:44	0:46:48
-From there, -they sailed to Pennsylvania.	0:46:48	0:46:51
-She met a boy from Bala, whom she -didn't know before, in Pennsylvania.	0:46:51	0:46:56
-They got married -and the rest is history.	0:46:56	0:46:59
