0:00:15 > 0:00:18- Why does man climb mountains?
0:00:18 > 0:00:24- For millennia, the world's peaks - have enticed people to conquer them.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- In 2016, - Steff and I came to Snowdonia...
0:00:28 > 0:00:32- ..to prepare for - the biggest challenge of our lives.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Steff had booked a trip - to the Himalayas...
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- ..to fulfil a dream and see - one of the wonders of the world.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41- And me?
0:00:41 > 0:00:46- I went with him - to see what all the fuss was about!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- This wasn't a holiday - but twelve days of solid walking...
0:00:52 > 0:00:53- ..up and down...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- ..with the aim of climbing 5,300m...
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- ..to the foot of the world's - highest mountain - Everest!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Everest has strong links with Wales.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- This colossus - was named after a Welshman.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- He was Sir George Everest - from Crickhowell in Powys.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- He's responsible for The Great - Trigonometrical Survey of India...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- ..in the 19th century.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- It mapped the country - and the surrounding area.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Everest is part of the Himalayas.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- This mountain range has India - to the south and China to the north.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- It contains eight of the ten - highest mountains in the world.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Many have tried to conquer it - and lost their lives in the process.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Very few can say that they've stood - on top of the world!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- In 1856, Everest was named - the world's highest mountain...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- ..and it was a race - to reach the top.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Which country would plant - its flag at the top first?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- It was a matter of national pride.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- It was 97 years later...
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- ..that Sir Edmund Hillary - from New Zealand...
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- ..and his Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay - stood on top of the world.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- And yes, their story - started in Wales.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Just like any good story, - it started in a pub!
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- The Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel has welcomed - climbers from across the globe.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- At less than a mile - from Pen-y-Pass...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- ..it's perfect - for those scaling Snowdon...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- ..or those who want a pint - after their descent!
0:03:02 > 0:03:08- The two British expeditions to - conquer Everest came here to train.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- The first was in 1924 - and the second was in 1953.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- The hotel is full of items from the - memorable and historic adventures.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Two men who have experienced - Everest's slippery slopes...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- ..are Eric Jones, - a highly-respected climber...
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- ..and Crag Jones, the first Welshman - to reach the summit of Everest.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Two pints, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- How are you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44- How are you?- - Very well, thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- You've scaled the highest summits - in the world.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Many climbers - start their journey here.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- What makes Snowdonia so special?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- It's steeped in history in terms - of mountaineering in Britain.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Some of the first climbs - were developed in this area...
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- ..and it became a popular sport - in the Snowdonia region.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Why did the early adventurers - train in Wales...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- ..as opposed to the Lake District - or Scotland?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- It isn't just ideal for Everest...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- ..but Snowdonia is a great place - to learn to climb...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- ..for wherever you decide to climb.
0:04:26 > 0:04:32- You get experience of scaling rocks - and climbing in the winter.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- They realized that this site, - especially in winter...
0:04:36 > 0:04:42- ..was perfect for training - for expeditions to the Alps.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Wales left her mark on - the English climber, George Mallory.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- He was in the first British - expedition to the summit.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- He named the Western Cwm - because it reminded him of Wales.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- It's a burning issue as to whether - he reached the summit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Many claim that his body - still lies on Everest.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Mallory had been invited here - by Geoffrey Winthrop Young...
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- ..after World War I.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18- He was one of the most accomplished - climbers in Britain at the time.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- He climbed the rocks of Snowdonia...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- ..and established a lot of the - new routes that were very important.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- That is how - Mallory's career started...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- ..in the world of mountaineering.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- The next 20 years saw many attempts - to reach the summit.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- In 1953, - after training in Snowdonia...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- ..a second British team - ventured to Nepal...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- ..and yes, - they conquered the beast!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- The Welsh link - came in the form of Jan Morris.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- She was a reporter for The Times.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- She was the link - between the mountain and London.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Her task was both massive - and confidential.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- She had to inform London before - anyone else learnt of the news.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Jan, thank you very much - for your time today.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- How did you end up - on that 1953 adventure...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- ..or expedition to Everest?
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- I got into it - because I was working for The Times.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- The Times had financed most of the - previous expeditions to Everest...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- ..and they were with this one too.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- They had a right to send - a correspondent with the expedition.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- In the past, they used - one of the climbers themselves.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- This time, since the competition - was likely to be hot...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- ..from other papers - around the world...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- ..they decided to send a - professional along and that was me.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- It was only me because everybody - else on The Times was 80 years old!
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- I was young and fit - and extremely ambitious...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- ..so I accepted the job - with pleasure.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- How high did you - get up the mountain?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- It gets higher every year!
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Higher than me and you, Steff.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- Higher than me and you, Steff.- - Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Tell us about this code, Jan.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- It's nearly as famous - as the summit itself.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- The code, yes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Well, it was like this.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- From the beginning, we thought - that there'd be competition...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- ..from correspondents - from around the world.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- The story was quite a big thing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- At The Times, - they produced a code for me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- It was a code - for which a word made nonsense.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- For example, - summit might be flapjack!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It was like that - - totally different.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55- I realized if the Nepali authorities - who ran the cable base...
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- ..were presented with a message - they didn't understand...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- ..they wouldn't send it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- And also, if they did send it...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- ..people would realize it was a code - and something was up!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- So what I did was, - I devised a code...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- ..which didn't seem to be in code.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- The message seemed to make sense.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- I remember the message to say - Everest had been climbed was...
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- .."snow conditions bad, - awaiting improvement."
0:08:27 > 0:08:28- It was a short code...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- ..but I was able to say when it was - climbed and who it was climbed by.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- That moment - when Hillary came back down.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- The very first words he told you, - what were they?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- "We've knocked the ******* off!"
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Brilliant!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Can you tell us about this book - we have in front of us?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- You took it with you - on the expedition in 1953.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- It says so on the front!
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- This is a book by W H Murray - who was a mountaineering writer.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- He wrote it - about the history of Everest.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- He only had a proof copy - but somehow, it got into my hands...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- ..and I took it with me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- When I got there, - I leant it around all the others...
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- ..when we were on the side - of the mountain.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- They all read it and spilt tea on it - and made a mess of it in general...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- ..but then they all signed it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Ed Hillary there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29- Tenzing.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- The only word he could write.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- There's yours - and there's something underneath.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- In those days...
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- ..I thought presumptuous to pretend - I was a member of the expedition.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- I was anxious not to push myself in.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- When I signed, I put...
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- "James Morris: The Times - (who owns the book)"
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- And so the years passed - and we all grew old.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- In the end, very recently...
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- ..the only people to come - to the reunions apart from me...
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- ..were the widows!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- And so they all signed it for me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- There they are.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- But still, it's sad.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Isn't it?
0:10:18 > 0:10:19- They've all gone.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- But Jan Morris...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- But Jan Morris...- - ..with something underneath.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- "Still owns the book!"
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- When the news reached Britain...
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- ..the Pen-y-gwryd Hotel - had a call from The Times.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- The owners and visitors - were celebrating...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- ..before the ink had dried - on the national newspapers!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- The hotel's owners - woke all their residents...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- ..to raise a glass to the mission.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Hillary and his team maintained - that link with the site.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- They met every ten years - at the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..to relive - their adventures of 1953.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- The walls of the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel - tell their story...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- ..alongside the names of other - climbers who reached the summit.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Your name is up there, Crag.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- It sits with those - who also scaled Everest.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- What's the appeal of the mountain?
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- It was Doug Scott who said - that if the opportunity arose...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- ..to attempt to climb - the highest point in the world...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- ..then any climber - would jump at the chance to do it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- The air is very thin - and the body starts to shut down.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Did it ever bother you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- There's a tendency to forget to - breathe when you're at that height.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53- It's because there's so little - carbon dioxide in the air.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Your partner in the tent...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- ..is totally still and doesn't - breathe for a few minutes...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- ..so you find yourself - shaking them into life!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Yes, it does.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14- It can create - a very difficult situation.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- What did you see and how did you - feel when you reached the summit?
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- It looks as though you can see - the curvature of the world.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I felt very successful - and it was wonderful.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- You've both reached - the highest summits in the world.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Some were - more technical than others.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Those ten seconds - when you reach the highest point.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- What goes through your mind?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- What's it like?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- Is it jubilation, disappointment or - do you look for the next challenge?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49- Or is it a sense of relief?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I often feel relieved.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- You think about a tough climb - for months or even years...
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- ..so think you'll be happy - when you reach the top.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- But you will have spent - many days on the mountain...
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- ..you're cold, hungry, wet - and can't wait to get back down.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- This is the most dangerous time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- The adrenalin keeps you going - when you're on that difficult climb.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- After reaching the summit, - you're struck by exhaustion...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- ..and the descent is dangerous.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- The Eiger is the perfect example.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- More climbers have died on the - easy route than the difficult one.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Has it ever crossed your mind...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- ..where you've wanted - to call it a day?
0:13:40 > 0:13:46- I remember the Spiral Stairs on an - early climb in the Llanberis Pass.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- There was a difficult part - that was tough for a beginner.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- I thought I'd be happy - if I could go back and do it...
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- ..but I soon found that there was - always something else to conquer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Thank you for chatting with us.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Today, we face the highest summit - in Wales so thank you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Good luck to you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11- Without oxygen?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Without oxygen?- - We'll see!
0:14:13 > 0:14:14- Thank you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- We didn't repeat their feat because - Base Camp was enough of a challenge.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Snowdon was good enough - for Hillary, Crag and Eric...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- ..and us too!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- When we return, - we leave Wales' highest mountain...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- ..for the highest in the world.
0:14:34 > 0:14:34- .
0:14:36 > 0:14:36- Subtitles
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- We're climbing - the summit of Snowdon.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- It's six months since we walked - to Everest Base Camp.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- We're here to learn about - the special links...
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- ..between Wales and the world's - highest mountain - Everest.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Many paths lead to the summit of - Snowdon and we're on the Pyg Track.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- It's easy to start at the foot - of this mountain in Wales.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- In Nepal, the journey to the path - to Everest Base Camp...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- ..starts in the capital - of Kathmandu.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- You can't compare the tranquillity - of Llanberis with Kathmandu.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- It's in the centre of Nepal.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37- It's a busy, lively city - that's home to 1.4 million people.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I wanted to show you the rush hour!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Oh, it's absolutely bonkers.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- It's very colourful.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It's like Cardiff at night.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Yes, it's like Caroline Street - on a Saturday night!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- The festival of Dashain is - celebrated in September and October.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- It's a 15-day Hindu celebration...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- ..where bright colours - fill the streets and homes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- A taxi driver said it was - the quiet period in Kathmandu...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- ..because everyone - was visiting their families.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- This was the start of our journey - but we had time to be tourists!
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- We used traditional means - of transport and sampled the food.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35- Well?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- Well?- - Lush!
0:16:36 > 0:16:42- Whilst in Kathmandu, we realized - something wasn't quite right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- We're walking down a street full of - people but don't know where we are.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- We haven't got a clue!
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- It's lucky that we found a guide - in the form of Jyoti.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- She's originally from Aberystwyth.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- She now lives and runs - a Fairtrade jewellery business.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- There's so much beauty in Nepal - and I love living here...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- ..and working here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- It has such a rich culture.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20- There's so much to see - and do and experience here.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- As we walked around, - we saw the remains of a disaster.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28- Two years ago...
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- ..an earthquake that measured 7.8 - on the Richter Scale hit the area.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- It's the worst natural disaster - to strike Nepal in 80 years.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44- Almost 9,000 people were killed - and 21,000 people were injured.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53- The earthquake struck - at about midday on a Saturday.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Many people were at home eating or - spending time with their families.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- We're lucky that it struck - on a Saturday...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- ..so the children weren't in school.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- You can walk down any street...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- ..and see reminders - of that earthquake.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- A lot of people are still homeless.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- People from other areas came - to Kathmandu after the earthquake.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- They expected the support - to come to Kathmandu.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- Hundreds of thousands of people - are yet to return to their homes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- They still live in tents - in the city.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- The country's culture - is still feeling the scars.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- A lot of iconic buildings - were destroyed...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- ..especially in - the Kathmandu region.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- This was the site of an important - building called the Kasthamandap.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Kathmandu takes its name - from this building.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- It's believed to have been built - in the tenth century.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- It was a public rest house - and people just spent time here.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- The city is still dealing - with the disaster...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- ..but the strength of the people - shines through.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- Everybody just tried - to carry on with their lives.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- For me, personally...
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- ..I tried to start work - as soon as possible...
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- ..so that my crafters and staff - could earn some money.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- We wanted to find some normality.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- During those difficult times...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- ..it's very important - to keep working and making money.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- I don't think about the earthquake - that much now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- We do get the odd tremor...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- ..every fortnight to three weeks...
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- ..so we can't forget it and always - have reminders of the earthquake.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Chatting with Jyoti - was a real eye-opener.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- It was a reminder that Mother Nature - is both dangerous and unexpected.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- The earthquake was even felt 100 - miles up the valley at Base Camp.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- After finding our way around - Kathmandu, thanks to Jyoti...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- ..the next task was to pack!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- We're ready to get packing.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- This is all our kit.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- That belongs to Steff.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- And this is my kit.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- How long has this got to last?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Twelve days?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- Twelve days?- - Twelve days.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- And all of this - has got to fit in there!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- The next morning...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- ..we went to Kathmandu airport - for the next stage of our journey.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- It's 7.30am.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- We've arrived - at Kathmandu airport...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- ..and we're on the - most dangerous plane in the world.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Where are we going to land, Steff?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12- Lukla.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- It's the world's - most dangerous airport.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18- Are you excited?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Are you excited?- - I'm a bit nervous now.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- We didn't have a departure time - as they take off when they want.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- So... here we go!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- It was a 30-minute flight to Lukla.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- It's the starting point - of our journey to Base Camp.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I'd heard a lot - about Lukla airport...
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- ..and its famous - 527-metre-long runway...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- ..and hadn't thought much about it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- But your feelings can change very - quickly when you actually see it!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Look how close we are to the end.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23- That was quite an experience but I - was glad to be back on solid ground.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Our challenge had started.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Bags on and off to go!
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- Here we go.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- We're leaving Lukla - to start our twelve-day-trek.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- Let's go.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Lukla is 2,860 metres - above sea level.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- That's three times the size - of Snowdon.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- The path to Base Camp took us - through many towns and villages.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55- We were far from any city but still - spotted a number of familiar sights.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- It doesn't matter where you are - or how remote you might be...
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- ..you'll always find a Starbucks - and an Irish pub!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I started thinking...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- ..that this journey wouldn't be - that difficult after all.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12- It isn't too hot.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- The sun isn't too strong - and we're in the Himalayas!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- It's pretty.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Daf enjoyed the scenery.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- But I was here - for the amazing landscape...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- ..and to study the climatic changes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34- I was lucky because these things - seemed to pop up everywhere!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- I've found something interesting - over here.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- You might disagree with that.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- There's a sign - for GLOF risk management.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- GLOF means glacial lake - outburst flood.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Thanks to global warming, - the risk of GLOF is far more real.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52- Should I be worried about it?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Should I be worried about it?- - I hope not!
0:23:55 > 0:24:01- You would get a massive wave - of water flowing down this valley.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- We wouldn't really stand a chance - so let's hope it never happens.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- There's nothing like one of - Steff's facts to boost your spirits!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- There's no danger - of that happening in Snowdon.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Having passed Bwlch y Moch...
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- ..we realized why Mallory - compared Snowdonia with Everest...
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- ..and why early adventurers chose - Snowdonia as a training ground.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Let's take a break.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Oh, that's nice.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35- Do you know what's even nicer?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36- Do you know what's even nicer?- - What?
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- This is the perfect example - of the effects of glaciers.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Crib Goch is behind us - and Y Lliwedd is over there.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- There's a massive corrie lake - in front of us.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- If we were sitting here - 10,000 years ago...
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- ..it would resemble what we saw - en route to Base Camp in Nepal.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I've been around the world - studying glaciers...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- ..and nothing beats Wales - because it has everything.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- You've tried to explain these - geographical facts many times.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17- I do show an interest but I love - the stories linked with this area.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Let me tell you a story.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Bwlch y Saethau - is just around the corner.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Many believe - King Arthur was killed there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Before he took his last breath...
0:25:28 > 0:25:34- ..he took his sword, Excalibur - and threw it into the Glaslyn Lake.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- The hand of the Lady of the Lake - rose from the water...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- ..caught the sword - and took it into the depths.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45- How's that for a story?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- They also say a massive beaver - lives over there!
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Don't let facts spoil a story!
0:26:04 > 0:26:04- .
0:26:06 > 0:26:06- Subtitles
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- We're following the Pyg Track - to the summit of Snowdon...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- ..six months after climbing - to Everest Base Camp.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26- This will only take a day but we - spent twelve days climbing in Nepal.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- We landed in Lukla - after an interesting flight...
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- ..and walked to our first stop - which was the village of Phakding.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- We've walked for 90 minutes - but it has been downhill.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Our destination - is on the other side of the valley.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- It's around the corner - from those red roofs.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- It should take 90 minutes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- We'll have lunch and that's it - so I can't complain!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- This was green, fertile land.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Clear paths had been created - for all the walkers.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- The majority of the population - in Kathmandu are Hindu...
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- ..but the mountain people - are Buddhists.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- The trail was scattered - with stupas and prayer wheels.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Phakding is 200 metres - lower than Lukla.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- We had to sleep at a lower height - than when we were walking...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- ..to avoid altitude sickness.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- At the end of a leisurely day one, - we arrived in the sleepy village.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- This was our home for the night.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Unfortunately, - it wasn't a five-star-hotel!
0:27:44 > 0:27:45- Push that across.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49- And that's it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Home sweet home!
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- This is our home for the night.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- It's day two, Steff.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12- Good morning.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13- Good morning.- - Good morning.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Day two is our first day - of walking about seven miles.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20- Yes, something like that.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- Today, we should see Everest - for the first time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Namche Bazar was our next town.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- We had to climb 800 metres - over six to seven hours a day.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- The slow pace - prevented altitude sickness.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- We also crossed a suspension bridge - for the first time.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- It's lucky - we're not afraid of heights!
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- We had crossed the border - into the Sagarmatha National Park.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Everest is called Sagarmatha - in Nepal.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00- Life is simple here.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Traditional methods - are still practiced...
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- ..despite the heavy wave of walkers - in May and October.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- We finally arrived in Namche Bazar.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- The town is 3,400 metres - above sea level.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- This was our home for two nights - to allow us to acclimatize.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- At Namche, we had our first sighting - of Everest...
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- ..behind a statue of the first - Sherpa to reach the summit in 1953.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34- Tenzing Norgay.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- This moment really affected Steff.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- I'm quite emotional - and didn't expect to feel this way.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- That's the highest point - in the world.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- It's incredibly beautiful and - surrounded by all these mountains.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- I want to enjoy the moment - and never forget it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Yes, it was a very special moment.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- The major cities were days away but - there was no escaping the walkers...
0:30:11 > 0:30:16- ..or the feeling that tourism - dominated this unique place.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- The one thing that surprised me - in Nepal...
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- ..was the hundreds of people - on the track.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- It's similar to Snowdon...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- ..and isn't exclusively - for professional climbers.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- It wasn't half as difficult - as it was for those first climbers.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- You could say it takes the romance - away from the first climbers.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- They hacked their way - through the ice to reach the summit.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- The financial benefits are important - to Wales and Nepal...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- ..as our guide told us.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Nepal is a poor country - that relies heavily on tourism.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- It keeps the mountain people - in work.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Following the earthquake - two years ago...
0:31:06 > 0:31:11- ..earning an income through tourism - became even more important.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- The earthquake struck in the tourist - season and many people were killed.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- As a result, many people - left Kathmandu and went home...
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- ..because they thought that - the tracks had all been damaged...
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- ..and the hotels lacked facilities.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- The autumn season - was very poor too...
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- ..because the headlines - were still talking about the damage.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- The tourists have now realized...
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- ..that the trails - aren't as badly damaged...
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- ..the hotels have been rebuilt...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- ..and are safe to visit.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08- As a result, - things are very slowly returning...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- .. to how they once were.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- People come to this place - for a number of different reasons.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21- Some enjoy the scenery - whilst others want a challenge.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- I came to see one of - the geographical wonders at work.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Khumbu is the - world's highest glacier.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- It starts at 7,600 metres - in the Western Cwm...
0:32:32 > 0:32:37- ..and flows for 17 kilometres - down to 4,900 metres.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- It erodes the rock - and shapes the land...
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- ..and results in this - stunning landscape.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- How could you not be enthralled - by it all?
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- I have to admit that I was - disappointed with that glacier.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- I know it was one of your - main reasons for going there...
0:33:02 > 0:33:07- ..but I was expecting it to be - a massive blanket of ice...
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- ..not just stones in a valley.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- That's fair enough because - a lot of glaciers are like that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20- I promise that what happens under - a glacier is really interesting!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21- Look around us here.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- There are steep and rugged slopes.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- At one time, this whole area - would have been covered with ice.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- It's this very process - that Everest is experiencing now.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Do you understand?
0:33:35 > 0:33:36- Do you understand?- - No.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- We'll take this - and I'll show you something.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Right, Daf.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Let me explain what happens.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- The ice presses down on the land - and will eventually start to move.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- When it starts moving...
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- ..it pushes all the rocks and rubble - down the valley.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- This will all melt and leave us - with what we can see today.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Yes, Snowdon is just like Everest.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Cwm Dyli, the steep slopes - of Crib Goch and Y Lliwedd...
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- ..are proof of the strength - of the ice in the last Ice Age.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- But that is the past.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- The Himalayan Glaciers - shapes the valleys...
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- ..and are important in the lives - of those lower down the valley.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40- The glacial water feeds the land - and provides drinking water.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- The Himalayan Glaciers sustain over - a fifth of the world's population.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- Only the Arctic and Antarctic - have more ice.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55- In recent decades, these important - glaciers have started to melt.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01- It's linked to the increase in the - world's temperature and CO2 levels.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06- I can't believe that some still deny - the effects of global warming.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- It isn't too busy - but there's some snow on the summit.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Yes, but this is how I like it.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- This is a quiet route but the path - from Llanberis can be busy.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Shall we go and have a look?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Shall we go and have a look?- - A few zig zags and we're there!

0:35:40 > 0:35:43- We're climbing - Wales' highest summit...
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- ..which is 1,085 metres - above sea level.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- It isn't as high - as our trip in October...
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- ..when we had eight days - to climb 5,364 metres...
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- ..to the foot of the world's highest - mountain - Everest.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- This final section along the Pyg is - quite a trek with all this snow...
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- ..but at least we don't have - to worry about the altitude.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11- Steff knows all about that!
0:36:12 > 0:36:13- Come on.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20- We're laughing about it now but it - was very different six months ago...
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- ..when we had a few fragile hours.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- We've been in an area - called Dingboche for a few hours.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- It's the middle of the night.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- This is the highest we've been - at about 4,400 metres...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- ..and the altitude is affecting us.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40- I've just fainted.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- I've just fainted.- - I've got a cold and it's freezing!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Yes, Daf isn't feeling great either.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Tomorrow is our day - for acclimatization...
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- ..so we hope to feel better - by tomorrow night.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- The next day, and we did get - some sleep after all that palaver...
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- ..so headed to Lobuche.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12- The metres slowly increased - and the landscape started to change.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18- The trees and plants were replaced - with a bare and barren land.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- It signalled that Base Camp - was on the horizon.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- We'd been lucky, - apart from the cold.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Our destination was Base Camp - after all!
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- We passed many who were suffering - as a result of the altitude.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- They either turned back - or were taken home by helicopter.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- As we followed the rocky path - to Lobuche...
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- ..we were reminded - of the harsh realities of Everest.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- This place has memorials for those - who lost their lives on Everest.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57- The most well-known is Scott Fischer - who died on Everest in 1996.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Walking around and reading - the messages from the families...
0:38:02 > 0:38:08- ..sends shivers down your spine as - they chose to place the stones here.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- We finally reached Lobuche.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- This tiny village was just under - 5,000 metres above sea level.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- Tomorrow, - we only had to climb 350 metres!
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- We had some free time so we - walked along the Khumbu Glacier...
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- ..and Steff was over the moon.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- The night was closing in early, - our feet were aching...
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- ..and we had a long day ahead of us - so we headed for bed.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- It's the night before.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- It's the night before.- - The night before Base Camp.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- We're going to Base Camp tomorrow.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02- Everest Base Camp.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- If you haven't figured it out, - we're going to Everest Base Camp!
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- We're leaving at 5.30am.
0:39:09 > 0:39:15- At 4.00pm, - it was about 2 degrees Celsius...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- ..so you can imagine - how cold it is outside now!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- The room is quite warm.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- It's the warmest room - we've had to date.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Yes, that's right.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30- We've been very lucky and don't have - any altitude sickness at the moment.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- No, touch wood!
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Let's hope - it lasts through tomorrow.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Yes, but tomorrow will be - a long, 11-hour-day.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- We'll go up and come straight back.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43- We'll be out of here!
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- It's about 8.30pm and we're going - to have a good night's sleep...
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- ..so that we're ready for Base Camp.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Yes, bring it on!
0:39:53 > 0:39:54- Goodnight, Steffan.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55- Goodnight, Steffan.- - Goodnight, Dafydd.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- You can turn the lights off.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Goodnight!
0:40:12 > 0:40:13- So, here we are.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- The big morning!
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- It's 6.00am so it's very early.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- Yes, but it's nice and fresh.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- We're starting our way to Base Camp.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- But at least we can pelt it down - all the way back.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- We'll be down in no time at all.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40- We left before sunrise, so could - arrive early at Base Camp...
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- ..and experience it - without the other walkers.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- The sun, temperature and metres rose - over our final hours...
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- ..and we thought about - our adventure.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Right, we're almost there.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- I'm out of breath - but it's to be expected...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- ..as we're over 5,000 metres above - the sea level.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- The air is thin.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- It's difficult to walk - and talk to you at the same time...
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- ..but it's lovely.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14- The sky is blue.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16- It's fresh.
0:41:16 > 0:41:22- It's just like an autumnal day - back home in Wales.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- The scenery around us - is totally and utterly epic.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33- Unlike Steff, I came out here and - knew very little about this area...
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- ..and everything around us - is incredible.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- We can just about see Everest - somewhere over there.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- It's there somewhere.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- It's fantastic.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- I'm feeling very proud - to be here at the moment.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- I'm glad we did it.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- This has been - an unforgettable adventure.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- I don't know if I'd do it again - but I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08- It's the last 20 minutes and I'm - excited about reaching Base Camp!
0:42:10 > 0:42:15- After eight days of trekking through - the country's amazing landscape...
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- ..it took one final push up - and then down through the stones...
0:42:20 > 0:42:25- ..before the foot of the world's - highest mountain came into view.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29- We've arrived!
0:42:31 > 0:42:32- Finally.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33- Hallelujah!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- There it is.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36- Base Camp!
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- It's not bad, is it?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- How do you feel?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- You're interested in the area.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- I've read about the mountains - and glaciers for many years.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- It's lovely to see them - with my own eyes.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- I'm glad to tick it off - my bucket list!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- We bought some Everest beer - especially for this occasion.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Cheers, Steff!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- It's been one hell of a journey!
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Cheers to Everest Base Camp.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Let's go back to have a hot shower.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- Oh, yes. Four days to get down.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18- Let's go!
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- It's a year since we thought about - going to Everest Base Camp.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- We trained in Snowdonia.
0:43:31 > 0:43:36- Six months since being at the foot - of the world's highest mountain...
0:43:36 > 0:43:39- ..and we're back - at where it all started.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51- Here we are, Steff.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52- Here we are, Steff.- - Yes, we've done it.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54- We're at the top of Wales.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56- It's lovely.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00- We've been lucky to have blue skies - and a few clouds.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05- It's exactly how it was at Base Camp - so what are your highlights?
0:44:05 > 0:44:10- I've had time to think about it - and I've got three.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- The first is seeing Everest - for the first time.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- You realize it's the highest point - in the world.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- It's steeped in history and - so many people have died up there.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- The second - is reaching Base Camp itself.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28- Yes, that was a highlight.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- You think about all the expeditions - that have left Base Camp.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37- There's so much history - and I'm proud to be a part of it.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- The third is back in Wales.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- You realize what you have - on your own doorstep.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Yes, we're very lucky.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50- What about you because your reasons - were very different to mine?
0:44:50 > 0:44:54- One thing I'll never forget - is seeing all those memorials...
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- ..for those people - who had lost their lives on Everest.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- It sent shivers down my spine - to see it.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- I'm not saying - that was a highlight...
0:45:05 > 0:45:10- ..but visiting Asia - was on my bucket list for 2016.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12- I did that.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16- The second one is obviously arriving - at Base Camp.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- It was the tranquillity.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19- It was the tranquillity.- - Yes, it struck you.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- It was lovely - when we were the only ones there.
0:45:23 > 0:45:28- The third thing was arriving back in - Kathmandu and having a hot shower.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32- I'd been waiting - twelve days for that!
0:45:32 > 0:45:35- It's a small thing - but it made me happy.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36- The whole thing was...
0:45:37 > 0:45:40- I never thought - I'd do anything like that.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43- What now, Daf?
0:45:43 > 0:45:44- A pint?
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- That's the best idea - you've had in ages, Steff!
0:45:48 > 0:45:49- Down we go.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01- It's been a hell of a journey and - we've learnt a lot about ourselves.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04- We saw Nepal and Wales - at their best.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- And met - some truly inspirational people.
0:46:09 > 0:46:10- Before you ask...
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- ..no, we didn't kill each other.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15- All in all it was great.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22- Do you think our names - will ever be up there, Steff?
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- It might happen one day.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25- It might happen one day.- - One day.
0:46:25 > 0:46:26- Where next?
0:46:26 > 0:46:27- Where next?- - Where do you want to go?
0:46:28 > 0:46:28- Amazon?
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Amazon?- - No, too many spiders.
0:46:30 > 0:46:31- South America?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33- South America?- - Snakes.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34- Antarctica?
0:46:34 > 0:46:35- Antarctica?- - No, it's too cold.
