-It's a lovely town -and it's developing at the moment. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-It's getting busier. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
-Tourists and locals come here. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |

-Tell me about -Say Something In Welsh. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-It's a collection of -audio Welsh lessons in MP3 format. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-It involves no writing or reading, -which was important to us. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
-Because it's available online, -we can share it very inexpensively. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-In fact, the first course, -which consists of 35 lessons... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-..is available on the website -free of charge. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-People liked that, they shared it -and we became popular. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-It's used all over the world. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-How many Welsh learner do you have? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-I'm not sure. Too many to count! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-If I remember rightly, around 40,000 -have accessed the lessons... | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
-..and between 10,000 and 15,000 -people study quite regularly. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
-Around a third of those -live in Wales... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-..another third live in England... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-..and most of the remaining third -live in North America. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
-You run a boot camp too, don't you? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-Yes, a week-long boot camp where -no-one is allowed to speak English. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
-If they don't know a word in Welsh, -they must mime it. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-In a way, it allows learners -to make mistakes. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-They're banned -from switching to English... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-..and that lifts the pressure -off their shoulders. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-The end result is amazing. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-How much Welsh is spoken in Pen Llyn -and how many learners live here? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-This is one of the strongholds -of the Welsh language. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-This is where victory will come, -if victory is within our grasp. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-You can live your life -through the medium of Welsh here... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-..without giving it -a second thought. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-That's priceless and it raises -expectations for ordinary people... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
-..and for the children -who grow up here. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-The Welsh language is the norm here -and that's vitally important. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-I think we see more Welsh learners -in the south than in this area. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-Many Welsh people -who live in South Wales... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-..want to reclaim their heritage. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-Only a relatively low percentage of -incomers to this area learn Welsh... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
-..but those who do learn Welsh -succeed. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-They have an opportunity -to be part of the Welsh community... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-..and that's important too. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-What about Pen Llyn in general? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
-How will you sell it to me? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
-Pen Llyn is a place -to enjoy the great outdoors. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
-It's a place to go walking, sailing, -mountain climbing or hillwalking. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
-It isn't a place -to come and sit indoors. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-You must go outside. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-Nant Gwrtheyrn is on -the northern coast of Pen Llyn. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-It's centre where people learn -about Wales and the Welsh language. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |

-That eighth cup of coffee -may not have been a good idea! | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-They're all pinging off the ceiling. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Then go to somebody else. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Then go to somebody else. - -Hello! How are you? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-THEY ALL SPEAK | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-There are no jelly babies left -in Gwynedd. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-# Oh, I love you... # | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-I think we've all got the message. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-Thank you very much, Nia. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:48 | |
-Thank you. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |

-He won the 2013 Welsh Learner -Of The Year Competition... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-..at the National Eisteddfod. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
-Here he is talking about himself. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-I'm Martyn Croydon and I live -in Llannor, near Pwllheli. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-I've lived here for two years. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-I originally -come from Kidderminster. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-I've lived in Wales for five years. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-I've also been learning Welsh -for five years... | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-..but I started learning -a little while before I moved here. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-I came here on holiday -throughout my childhood. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
-I like the sea and the mountains. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-I don't remember -making the decision to move here. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-The idea was always in my head. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
-I absolutely love it here. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-I've always loved it -and that's why I moved here. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
-I take photos every day. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
-Photography is my hobby -and I put my photos on the internet. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
-People from around the world -look at them. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-Pen Llyn is really beautiful... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-..and that's the whole reason -I'm here. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-I'd hear people speaking Welsh -and think how incredible it was... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
-..that people could speak Welsh -one minute, then switch to English. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
-I thought I'd love to -be able to do that. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-And now I do just that. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-I'd made the decision -to learn Welsh before I moved here. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
-I followed a Catchphrase course -on the BBC website. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-When I'd arrived here full-time... | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-..I started to go to Welsh classes -at the college in Pwllheli. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
-I wouldn't say the Welsh language -comes easy to me... | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-..but it's not a struggle either. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-There are countless opportunities -to speak Welsh in this area. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-There are -a lot of Welsh speakers here. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-I speak Welsh all the time now. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
-There were lots of opportunities for -me to speak Welsh from the start. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
-I'd go shopping -and say bore da - good morning... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..and diolch yn fawr - thank you -at first. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
-I just built it up from there. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-Martyn uses the language totally -naturally on a daily basis... | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
-..and he teaches it to other people. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-Join me after the break -to find out more about Pwllheli... | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
-..and to dive into the sea -with Bryn Williams. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |

-Welcome back to Pwllheli. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-I'm in Neuadd Dwyfor, which is -a cinema, a theatre, a library... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
-..and an information centre. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-The word Llyn -comes from the Irish word laighin. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
-Laighin gave Leinster, the province -around the Dublin area, its name. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
-Yes - Irish people crossed the sea -to Pen Llyn around 1,500 years ago. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:56 | |
-A word from their language... | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
-..gave us the name of one of the -strongholds of the Welsh language. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
-These days, people come to Pen Llyn -to enjoy the sea and the beaches. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
-Tourists also bring -the English language here with them. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-Hafan Pwllheli marina is the home -of fishing boats and pleasure boats. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
-People have fished the sea -around Lleyn for centuries... | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-..and they catch mackerel, herring, -crabs and lobsters. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-Bryn Williams, the chef, -came here on a fishing trip. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
-But he didn't fish from a boat. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
-He dived for scallops -on a freezing cold winter's day... | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
-..when there was snow -on the mountains. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-I'm in Pwllheli -to dive for scallops. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
-The only diving I've done was in -warm seas when I've been on holiday. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
-I want to show you -the hard work done by divers... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-..to get scallops -from the sea to the plate. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-I'll be in the safe hands -of two local men. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
-Arthur is the skipper of the boat... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-..and Dewi is the experienced diver. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Good morning, Arthur. How are you? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-Dewi, how are things? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
-Dewi, how are things? - -Fine, thanks. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
-Is the water nice and warm? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
-Is the water nice and warm? - -I doubt it! | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
-We're heading out of Pwllheli -in search of scallops. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-The water's cold -and there's snow on the mountain! | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-Is this really a good idea? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
-When did you start -diving for scallops? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-About a quarter of a century ago. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
-How big a haul do you get -on every dive? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-Does it depend on the weather? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
-Does it depend on the weather? - -Yes, and on hitting a good bed. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-I have come up with as much as -a quarter of a ton of scallops. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-A quarter of a ton? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
-Is that over three months -or four months? Over a season? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
-No, over three days. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
-No, over three days. - -Three days? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
-Where do the scallops go? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-Where do the scallops go? - -Abroad, mostly. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:39 | |
-I have to buy my scallops -from Scotland... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-..but the quarter of a ton -you harvest in Pwllheli goes abroad? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
-Yes, it's exported to Spain. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
-Spanish people get to enjoy -Pwllheli scallops but we don't? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-That can't be right! | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
-That can't be right! - -It's a shame. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-Definitely. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:58 | |
-I'm ready -and there's air in the tank. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-What's the temperature of the water? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
-What's the temperature of the water? - -Between six and seven degrees. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-I'm used to 15 degrees and warmer. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-I'm used to 15 degrees and warmer. - -You won't get that today! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-Let's go! | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
-Welcome to Cegin Bryn! | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-If I can't get diver-caught scallops -for my restaurant in London... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
-..I don't put them on the menu. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-Dredging just fills -the scallop shells with sand. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
-Dredging damages the meat -and it also damages the environment. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
-People like Dewi work hard -to harvest produce responsibly. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-The water was so clear, -I felt like a kid in a sweet shop! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-I could see scallops -swimming around everywhere. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
-It was a really special experience. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-I'd love to get back in there but -I don't have enough air in my tank. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-Next, we measure the scallops... | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-..and throw any small ones -back in the water. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-That one isn't quite big enough, -so the scallop isn't mature enough. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
-No, but this one's fine. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-Hafan Pwllheli is part of -Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor college. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |

-We focus on traditional techniques -of boat building... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-..using fibreglass and timber. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-One of the things -we're working on this year... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
-..is making stand-up paddle boards. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-We also built the boat behind me. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
-I've been sailing and surfing -since I was around six years old. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
-I've always been into water sports. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-I chose this course because I wanted -to work in the marine industry. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
-I want to do an apprenticeship -in engineering. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-It may not be -in marine engineering... | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-..but this is a good place -to learn the basics. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
-When I've finished this course... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-..I may join the Royal Navy -as an engineer. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-I wouldn't work with timber there... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-..but I'd have a skill -and I'd have qualifications. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-We've started to apply -for apprenticeships. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
-A lot of those are in England... | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-..but there are opportunities -in this area... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-..involving -selling and repairing boats. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
-It's a great place to learn -and to live. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-Join me after the break to hear -how Dafydd Iwan found a wife... | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |

-Welcome back to Pen Llyn. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-Next, we leave the coast -and head to the countryside... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-..with its hills, mountains -and villages. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-The small village of Garnfadryn -is eight miles west of Pwllheli. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
-It takes its name -from nearby Garn Fadryn Mountain... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-..the site of an old Celtic village. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-Dafydd Iwan came here to preach -in the chapel during the 1980s. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-Here he is to tell us his story. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-For help to follow the programme, -use the website and the app... | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
-..and don't forget the subtitles! | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-The main feature of -Garnfadryn village is the mountain. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-It's an extinct volcano... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-..and there are ruins -of a Celtic village at the top. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
-This is Lleyn's focal point -and main geographical feature. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-It's visible from Y Cilie estate... | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-..on a clear day, of course. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-The mid-1980s... | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-..was a miserable time -for me personally. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
-It was the Thatcher era too, -which didn't help... | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
-..and my marriage broke down -during that period. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-I went to live in Caernarfon. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-Apart from the children, -the one thing that kept me going... | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-..was preaching on a Sunday. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-Garnfadryn was one of the places -I used to visit. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-I fell in love -with the village of Garnfadryn... | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-..a village -on the slopes of the mountain. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
-The chapel and the shop -were central to village life. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
-I came here to preach -and met Bethan... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
-..the organist, -who has since become my wife. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-I fell head over heels in love... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-..and we later married in 1988. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
-Since then, Garnfadryn has played -an important part in my life. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
-Bethan still has links here... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-..though she lost all her relatives -in the space of a few years. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
-She still has links with Garnfadryn -and Tanygrisiau. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
-When I first got to know Bethan... | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-..her aunt was the shopkeeper -and the chapel caretaker. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
-I got to know Bethan through her. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
-When I first came -to Garnfadryn to preach... | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-..there were many young people -in the congregation. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
-By getting to know them... | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
-..I became aware -of their family connections. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
-Many of them have had to -move away to find work... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-..or because it's too far to travel. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
-That's the challenge... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-..facing a close-knit Welsh-speaking -community such as this. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
-They have to deal with -incomers to the area... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
-..who often don't speak Welsh... | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
-..and they must retain -those native to the area... | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
-..who must commute to work -further afield. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
-Many Welsh communities and villages -have to deal with the same issues. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
-Garnfadryn is certainly -one of the three places... | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
-..which mean the most to me. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-The village of Rhos Botwnnog -lies just south of Garnfadryn. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
-It's the home of the three brothers -who formed Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
-Which cake shall I have? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
-The three cowboys - -Dafydd, Aled and Iwan... | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
-..have sung together since 2006. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
-They've recorded three albums -and performed in gigs across Wales. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
-We'll meet them in Tafarn Y Fic -in Llithfaen, near Nefyn... | 0:24:41 | 0:24:47 | |
-..a stone's throw -from Nant Gwrtheyrn. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
-Tafarn Y Fic pub -is run by local people. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-Many Welsh language activities -and events are held here... | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
-..and Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog -have sung here many times. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
-Iolo Williams and Shan Cothi -went to the Fic to meet them... | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
-..and to talk about Pen Llyn -and its people. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
-You're brothers, lads. So who's who? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
-I'm Dafydd. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:16 | |
-I'm Dafydd. - -Iwan. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
-I'm Aled. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
-I'm Aled. - -And where are you from? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
-You're local boys. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
-You're local boys. - -Yes, from Botwnnog. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:24 | |
-About 20 minutes from Llithfaen. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
-Rhos Botwnnog is in the middle -between Llaniestyn and Botwnnog. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:34 | |
-How did you start singing together? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
-Dafydd and I were in a rock band. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
-Iwan didn't show any interest -at all until he was about 14 or 15. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
-Other things interested you. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
-You hadn't begun to play the guitar. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
-The next thing, he'd learned -to play the guitar all of a sudden. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
-I drafted you both in! | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-I drafted you both in! - -So we thought, why not? | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
-As brothers, do you argue? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
-Yes, sometimes. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
-But I think -that's a healthy thing for a band. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
-We can just flip with each other -and then, that's it - it's done. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
-Things come out so easily. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
-Things come out so easily. - -We don't hold grudges. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
-If we do argue, -it's over in half an hour. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
-It's rock and roll, so I've got to -ask you about groupies! | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
-Do many girls chase you? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
-There are three in the whole -of the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-Plus one, behind the bar! | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-If there's an appeal, it's for -more wild girls in Lleyn, is it? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
-Perhaps we'll have a fundraiser -to attract girls from far away! | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
-You're very familiar with -Tafarn Y Fic. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
-You're on the wall. You're heroes! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
-You're on the wall. You're heroes! - -We sing here more than anywhere. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
-We've played here every Boxing Day -for the past four years. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
-Our second ever gig was here. -I remember it well. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
-It was so full, we had to open -the window to take our gear out. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
-They're wild gigs. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
-Yes, I can imagine! | 0:27:09 | 0:27:10 | |
-Local fans -come to hear the lads play. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
-There's nowhere -quite like Lleyn for gigs. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
-They're so wild -and everyone's very drunk! | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
-So there are some wild women here! | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
-Boxing Day next year is a must. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
-You and me, Shani. -You can sing, I'll watch. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-# You sing | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
-# When the wind blows, -Hoist the sails | 0:27:37 | 0:27:42 | |
-# The sun will rise... # | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
-Wild women and cowboys in Pen Llyn? -Whatever next? | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
-We're about to meet a Pen Llyn woman -but Nicola Pilkington isn't wild! | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
-I chatted to her many years ago. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
-Ooh, nice! | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
-Nicola Pilkington -is only 18 years old... | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
-..but she has already developed -her own, unique style. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
-I love walking into a room and -seeing people looking at my clothes. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:22 | |
-I'm different. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
-Of all the wardrobes I've seen, -this has to be the most unusual. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
-What gave you the idea -to store things like this? | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
-When I had a normal wardrobe, -I used to stuff everything in there. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
-I had no room -and I couldn't find anything. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
-I put colours together -but I still couldn't find anything! | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
-This has made life easy. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:54 | |
-I'm surprised. Everything within -a block of colour blends into one. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:01 | |
-I'm used to it and I recognize -the different fabrics and textures. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:07 | |
-I know where everything is -and I know what I've got. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
-Black is the exception to the rule! | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
-Black is tricky. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
-You pull everything out! | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
-I was a tomboy when I was young. -I wasn't into fashion. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:33 | |
-My friends matched colours -but I didn't. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
-The school uniform we wore -was really restrictive. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
-I didn't want to -look like everyone else. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
-I like people to notice my clothes. -I want to stand out. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:50 | |
-How would you describe your style? | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
-I never wear the same thing -two days on the trot. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
-Sometimes I wear something feminine -and sometimes something grungy. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:05 | |
-It depends on how I feel or -what sort of weather we're having. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
-Colour has huge relevance, for me. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
-Do you choose one colour -or a combination of colours? | 0:30:14 | 0:30:18 | |
-I sometimes wear a single colour -and I enjoy mixing up colours too. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:23 | |
-I wear unusual colour combinations. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-You have four pairs of boots of -the same style in different colours. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:55 | |
-These trainers -are all the same too. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
-Yes. If I find something comfortable -I buy it in every available colour. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:05 | |
-It makes it easy because -I know the fit and how they look. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
-It's easy to adapt to different -colours of the same design. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:14 | |
-I buy lots of things -from charity shops. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
-My trainers weren't very expensive. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
-I like things like this. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:21 | |
-I bought it in a charity shop. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
-I wear this as a top. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
-You just wrap it around yourself? | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
-Yes - like this. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:30 | |
-Yes - like this. - -Let me try. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
-Aren't you worried -you'll fall out of it? | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
-No, I'm confident. -I wear them all the time. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-I'm don't worry about it. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
-I bought these Evisu jeans -from a charity shop. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
-They're brand new -and they cost 3.50. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
-They'd be around 100 in the shops. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
-I cut things up, like that. -It's easy. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
-If I mess it up, who cares? -They're cheap. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
-This is lovely. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:11 | |
-This is lovely. - -I bought that in Iceland. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-My uncle lives there. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
-He's an artist -and I studied his work at college. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
-I visited him -and I went shopping too! | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
-I bought lots of -really unusual fabrics there too. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
-Texture is important to me. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
-These fabrics -are quite old fashioned. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
-This is a top. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
-It's an interesting fabric. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-If you scrunch it up, -the creases stay in the material. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
-Great! There's no need to iron it. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
-My friends think I'm nuts. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
-They're used to it. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:56 | |
-We go out for a drink -and I'm over-the-top. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
-I know I'm over-the-top -but I can't be normal. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
-Join me after the break... | 0:33:05 | 0:33:06 | |
-..to meet a girl -who loves all things Turkish... | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
-..and to visit a special centre -near Aberdaron. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |

-Welcome back to Pen Llyn, one of the -strongholds of the Welsh language. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:38 | |
-We're in the old market town -of Pwllheli. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
-This popular seaside town -is the main centre for the area. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:47 | |
-Where did you grow up and how long -have you lived in Wales? | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
-I was born in England. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
-My mother likes to say -she was on her way home... | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
-..but she ran out of time. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
-I've almost forgiven her! | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
-My grandparents -lived in Cwm Cynllwyd... | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
-..and we lived there too for a year. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-We then lived in Y Felinheli -for a year. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
-After that, we went travelling... | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
-..and we lived in England, -Germany, Portugal, Sri Lanka... | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
-..and Malaysia. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
-I came back home for a while -to go to college in Aberystwyth... | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
-..then I lived in Zimbabwe -and Dubai. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
-I came to my senses eventually, Nia! | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
-I woke up in the middle of a desert -when I was 32 years old... | 0:34:38 | 0:34:43 | |
-..and I was sick of sand! | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
-That's when I knew it was time -to come home and learn Welsh. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:49 | |
-How did you learn Welsh? | 0:34:50 | 0:34:51 | |
-I went on an intensive, month-long -Welsh course in Aberystwyth. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:58 | |
-I then made the very wise decision -to move to Essex... | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
-..which is an excellent place -to practise your Welsh! | 0:35:03 | 0:35:07 | |
-I went there -to stay with my brother. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
-When I realized it wasn't working, -I moved to Porthmadog. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:14 | |
-That was a much better idea! | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
-I did another intensive course -in Aberystwyth the following year. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:21 | |
-That's exactly what I needed to do. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
-When I first started to learn Welsh, -I told myself very quietly... | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
-..that when I could -speak Welsh fluently... | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
-..I'd get a tattoo of the -Welsh dragon on my shoulder... | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
-..to prove that I'd come home. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
-When I'd completed -the first intensive course... | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-..I made all sorts of excuses -not to get the tattoo. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
-I told myself I wasn't fluent -and I didn't sound natural. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
-I told other members of the group -about the tattoo idea... | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
-..when I did -my second intensive course. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-They marched me down the hill -to get the tattoo done... | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
-..because I'd run out of excuses! | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
-Was there a point -where you knew you were fluent? | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
-It's strange, but in some ways -I'm still learning. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:13 | |
-In other ways, there have been -some big landmarks along the way. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:18 | |
-Getting the tattoo done -was one of those. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
-Joining the Cymuned pressure group -in 2003... | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
-..was also a huge step for me. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
-Marrying Catrin -was a big step, of course. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
-Bringing up children who speak Welsh -puts a bit of pressure on me! | 0:36:32 | 0:36:37 | |
-The point where I felt I had to stop -talking about being a learner... | 0:36:38 | 0:36:43 | |
-..was when Twm Morys -gave me a rap on the knuckles. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
-He said, "You're not a learner. -You're a Welsh speaker." | 0:36:49 | 0:36:53 | |
-I daren't call myself a learner -in Twm's presence! | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
-Being labelled as a learner -can be tricky. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
-Introducing someone as a learner -is difficult. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
-It's complicated. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:09 | |
-Nine times out of ten, when -someone's introduced as a learner... | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
-..it's because the other person -is celebrating their achievement. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:19 | |
-But it's also important -to reach the point... | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
-..where people stop thinking about -their limitations and shortcomings. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:28 | |
-It's about normalization. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
-We must normalize -the Welsh language in general... | 0:37:30 | 0:37:34 | |
-..and normalize it for learners. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
-Thank you, Aran. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:38 | |
-Let's meet another Lleyn girl. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
-Siwan Jones lives with her mother -in Nefyn... | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
-..and she loves Turkey. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
-The country, not the bird! | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
-Aled Sam went to meet her... | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
-..and to see her Turkish room -for himself. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
-Hello, Siwan. I'm Aled. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
-Can I take a look -at your Turkish room? | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
-Yes, of course. Come through | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
-Siwan Jones and Christine, -her mother, live here. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
-Siwan designed one special room -for a special reason. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
-The colours -suggest Turkey straightaway. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
-Yes, they do. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
-This is my Turkish room. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:47 | |
-I went on holiday to Turkey with -my friend and my mother this summer. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:53 | |
-I have a keen interest -in Turkish art and design. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:59 | |
-I wanted to design my own bedroom... | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
-..and I couldn't think of a project -to do for my GCSE. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:08 | |
-Joy Brown, my art teacher, -suggested I did this. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:13 | |
-I'm interested in interior design. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
-What percentage of your marks were -awarded for designing this room? | 0:39:19 | 0:39:24 | |
-It's 60%. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:25 | |
-That includes the finished room -and the preparatory sketches. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
-It's great she let me do something -different and something I enjoy. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:39 | |
-What elements of Turkish design -appeal to you? | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
-I loved the mosaics I saw in Turkey. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
-They really are eye-catching. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
-Turkish arts and crafts give you an -insight into the country's history. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:10 | |
-That really appeals to me. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
-I made this one first -and then that one. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
-That's a river. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:21 | |
-The table -was the third mosaic I created. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
-I can't believe I managed it! | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
-I covered the surface area -with PVA glue... | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
-..and I created a board -using different colours. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
-I used different shades of purple. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
-I designed this lizard myself. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
-I used strips of dark green tiles... | 0:40:47 | 0:40:51 | |
-..and some light green tiles -in the middle. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
-This helped make the lizard -stand out. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
-That mirror took longer to make -than the mosaic on the table. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:04 | |
-Why? | 0:41:04 | 0:41:05 | |
-I had to stick each tile -individually on the mirror. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
-I cheated a little bit -with the lizard... | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
-..because I used sheets of tiles. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
-I had to stick those tiles down -one at a time. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
-It took ages! | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
-I bought this rug in Turkey. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:39 | |
-I was thrilled because the people -selling them put on a show for us. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:45 | |
-They showed us lots of Turkish rugs -and it was lovely. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
-I like the strong colours - -the Turkish colours - in this rug. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:55 | |
-Did this come from Istanbul? | 0:41:56 | 0:41:57 | |
-Did this come from Istanbul? - -Yes. | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
-Why do these patterns -appeal to you? | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
-They're just wow! | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
-They're shiny and they're bold. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
-It takes hours -to create something like this. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
-It's all hand crafted. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
-It's incredible, isn't it? | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
-Where will you be -in five years' time? | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
-Will you be a designer? | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
-I'd like to be a designer. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
-I'd also like to study textiles. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
-I enjoyed creating these mosaics and -I enjoy doing something different. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:46 | |
-I like a challenge. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
-A beautiful area like this -inspires artists... | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
-..and there are -several galleries here... | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
-..including Oriel Kathy Gittins -Plas Glyn Y Weddw... | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
-..and this one - Tonnau. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:09 | |
-Next, we head to Aberdaron, -at the far end of Pen Llyn. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:13 | |
-Aberdaron is a seaside village. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
-Boats carry pilgrims -over to Bardsey Island from here. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:24 | |
-Bardsey -is the island of 20,000 saints. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
-Albert Evans-Jones -was born in Aberdaron in 1895. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
-He's better known to us as Cynan, -the poet, dramatist and archdruid. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:41 | |
-The poet Ronald Stuart Thomas -moved to Aberdaron. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:46 | |
-RS Thomas was the vicar of Aberdaron -for over a decade... | 0:43:46 | 0:43:50 | |
-..in the 1960s and 1970s. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:52 | |
-Rhoshirwaun is a village -two miles from Aberdaron. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | |
-An old farm there is being converted -into an educational centre... | 0:43:57 | 0:44:02 | |
-..called Felin Uchaf. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
-A charity -runs the Felin Uchaf project. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:09 | |
-The people who work there -are volunteers. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
-When the centre is ready... | 0:44:13 | 0:44:15 | |
-..people will come here -to learn countryside skills... | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
-..and to learn -about the area's culture. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
-Iolo Williams went there -to see the building work. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:26 | |
-For help to follow the programme, -use the website or the app... | 0:44:26 | 0:44:31 | |
-..and don't forget the subtitles! | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
-Dafydd, you're busy here. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
-Yes, we're quite busy, -especially in sunny, dry weather. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:45 | |
-Now is the time to build walls. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
-What are you all doing here? | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
-We're building a traditional wall. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:52 | |
-It's not a wall made out of stone... | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
-..to surround a field. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:58 | |
-Having said that, -it does look like a perimeter wall. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:02 | |
-It's a wall for a house. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:04 | |
-Half of it is mud -and the other half is stone. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
-These are the footings -for a house wall. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
-What's the story -behind Felin Uchaf Centre? | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
-A charity owns and runs the centre. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
-It's a social centre, and we do -charitable work with various groups. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:27 | |
-We work mainly with young people. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
-We teach them countryside skills -and building techniques. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:35 | |
-That is what we'll do -in this initial, pioneering stage. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:39 | |
-We then intend to develop it -into more of a cultural centre. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
-We're trying to ask people -to consider what we have locally. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
-Let's use our natural resources -and earn a living from that. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
-I know that all the farmers -have been doing so for centuries. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
-Businesses should look at it, -including the construction industry. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
-We must be aware -of our carbon footprint. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
-What other activities happen here? | 0:46:06 | 0:46:08 | |
-Primarily, -for the next five years... | 0:46:09 | 0:46:12 | |
-..all different aspects of building -work will be our main activity. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:17 | |
-We'll look at thatching roofs, -stonemasonry and mud work. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
-We'll also look at -oak frame buildings. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
-We'll also offer cultural courses. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
-But we're currently focusing -on building work, as you can see. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:32 | |
-All this work is done by volunteers. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
-It's nice to see volunteers here -from all over the globe. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:41 | |
-Yes, the work attracts them. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:44 | |
-Young people enjoy it, don't they? | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
-Some have travelled far to be here. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:50 | |
-They want to experience the real -Wales, not just to pass through. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
-They want to get to know the area. -What better way is there? | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
-They handle local stones and clay -and they do some gardening work. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:05 | |
-Join me next time, -when I'll be in Montgomeryshire. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:11 | |
-From Pwllheli and the rain, goodbye. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
