-Hello and welcome to Thursday's Heno

-on another glorious day.

-We hope you've enjoyed the day

-and can relax with us tonight.

-Heno is supporting the Missing

-Blood Types campaign on S4C...

-..and on Tuesday,

-I told you my own personal story.

-You can watch the item again

-on Clic or the iPlayer.

-There's also more information

-on how to give blood on the website.

-If you give blood,

-you could save a life.

-It's a jam-packed programme

-between now and 7.30pm.

-The artist and former Heno reporter,

-Nia Wyn Jones...

-..leaves Wales for her new life

-in Poland.

-The former rugby player, Llyr Thomas

-is my studio guest this evening.

-Llyr has a new job

-with Aberystwyth University.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Tell us about this new job.

-I'm going to be promoting rugby

-in the Mid Wales area.

-We also follow the journey of two

-brothers from the Lleyn Peninsula...

-..who have cycled 60 miles

-on a penny farthing.

-We remain with bikes but not

-a penny farthing but a Vespa.

-This cool scooter is popular in

-Italy and Spain and is 70 years old.

-Elin has learnt about the Vespa and

-has even had lessons on riding one!

-Some claim that the Vespa is the

-most stylish scooter in the world.

-It's been ridden by many generations

-over the last 70 years.

-In 1946, this pioneering way to

-travel was introduced to the public.

-This was in Rome in Italy.

-By the 1950s, the Brits

-wanted this trendy scooter too.

-I met someone who loves

-the 1985 Vespa PX 125.

-Yes, the full title is important!

-I loved scooters as a teen and went

-with friends to runs around the UK.

-I bought this two years ago but

-had my first scooter in the 1990s.

-A friend is over 70 and when

-he was dating as a youngster...

-..the girls' parents wouldn't let

-them out if he had a motorbike...

-..but they were happy for a girl to

-date a man in a suit on a scooter!

-It would be a wonderful world

-if these were all over the place.

-I've changed but need one more thing

-to match my cool bike.

-Who said the world of motorbikes

-wasn't glamorous?!

-My helmet matches the bike!

-I just need to learn how to ride it

-so I should find Ianto.

-You've got the worst job as you're

-teaching me to ride the Vespa.

-Yes, I know and I planned a day off

-but the other lads wouldn't let me!

-Sorry, Ianto and it's going

-to be tough so where do we start?

-First, you need a motorbike

-and we've got the Vespa 125.

-Before you get on the bike,

-you need a high visibility vest.

-It's very glamorous!

-Yes, I've heard about you and

-want to make sure you're seen.

-After a thorough introduction,

-I was ready... almost ready.

-My heart is pounding more than yours

-so don't worry.

-Oh, goodness me.

-Oh, goodness me.

-

-Ianto's sweating!

-Off I went without Ianto

-- who'd have thought it?!

-Next came the tricks that were

-easy at first but they got harder.

-Ooops!

-After some practice, I hit the

-main road from Swansea to Llanelli.

-Are you happy to go?

-Good luck to you

-and everyone out there.

-I have to check you're alright

-as I'm happy to take you out.

-BEEPING

-Yes, wohoo!

-I've still got two legs

-and two arms.

-How did I do?

-How did I do?

-

-Let me think... congratulations.

-Thank you, Ianto.

-You're ready to hit the road now

-so look out Tinopolis!

-Look out the whole of Wales

-because I'm on the road.

-You've done well

-and that was brilliant.

-Watch out, Elin's about!

-Llyr Thomas is my studio guest

-this evening.

-Welcome to the programme.

-You're a fan of the Vespa.

-I rode one when I was in Croatia.

-Earlier, we mentioned

-that you've got a new job...

-..at Aberystwyth University.

-Tell us more about it.

-It's my job to promote rugby amongst

-all ages and all abilities.

-I'll encourage students,

-both male and female, to play rugby.

-My catchment area is Mid Wales.

-I'm the only person in Wales

-to hold this sort of position.

-I want people to know

-that rugby is for everybody.

-I want to promote rugby

-in the communities of Wales.

-This includes all types of rugby.

-Yes, the Olympic Games have shown...

-..that rugby has different versions.

-I want people to have fun and

-play rugby.

-This is for new players too.

-Yes, I want to attract everyone.

-Rugby isn't just for men.

-Aberystwyth University

-has a strong ladies team.

-I'd love people to come and try it.

-You're the first to hold this

-position.

-Yes, so there's a lot of pressure on

-my shoulders.

-I'm still in the early days of the

-job.

-We'll have to see how it develops

-over the next few months.

-I've been there for two weeks.

-I've been preparing

-for when the students come back.

-I'm looking forward to seeing the

-students.

-Fans of mountaineering

-or the story of mountaineers...

-..will enjoy the festival at Neuadd

-Ogwen in Bethesda on Saturday.

-I had the idea for the festival...

-..from another festival I run

-at the Douglas Arms in Bethesda.

-I wanted a mountaineering festival

-in Bethesda.

-The coffee morning has lectures

-with Clwb Mynydda Cymru...

-..and all the activities are held

-at Neuadd Ogwen in Bethesda.

-Stephen asked me to be part

-of this festival in Bethesda.

-I'm an officer in the Cwm Idwal

-Partnership which is where I start.

-I look at how people influenced

-the mountains since the Ice Age...

-..and how the language influenced

-the place-names and culture.

-My day-to-day work is a contrast

-to those I'll talk about...

-..as they are chief bards, singers

-and shepherds on the mountain.

-I hope it fits with the other guests

-who'll talk about mountaineering.

-Guto is speaking and people from DMM

-will discuss climbing equipment.

-There's a Welsh afternoon with

-Dafydd Parry and Sam Roberts...

-..followed by an English lecture

-with Nick Bullock.

-It would be great to see people

-in the afternoon and evening.

-I hope it encourages more Welsh

-speakers to take up mountaineering.

-Don't forget to visit the festival

-if you're in the area.

-Most have a smart television or

-phone but do you have a smart watch?

-Fans of technology can win this

-watch that does an array of things.

-These are the details.

-Would you like to win one of the

-summer's most fashionable devices?

-It's a watch that tells the time,

-can send messages, has a diary...

-..and enables you to visit your

-favourite social media websites.

-All you have to do

-to get your hands on this device...

-..is to "like"

-the Heno S4C Facebook page...

-..and "like" the post for the 2016

-Monmouthshire Eisteddfod album...

-..which is at the top

-of our Facebook page.

-The names of everyone who "likes"

-the post and our Facebook page...

-The competition closes at 1.00pm

-on Friday 19 August.

-..we meet two brothers who have

-cycled 60 miles on a penny farthing.

-Daf Wyn is on the Eisteddfod Maes

-chatting with Nia Wyn Jones...

-Nia Wyn Jones has done just that.

-Nia and her family has left Wales

-and we're back after two years.

-Have you had any lessons in Polish?

-a few lessons and it's really easy!

-..who have been raising money

-for the RNIB.

-My brother, Dewi and I

-are cycling from Efailnewydd...

-..to Aberdaron and back on the

-penny farthing in aid of the RNIB.

-As part of my work, I know people

-who have problems with their vision.

-The RNIB supports these people

-practically and emotionally...

-..and that work is very important

-in the lives of those people.

-I wanted to raise awareness

-and money for this great cause.

-It's been a glorious day for cycling

-on the penny farthing to Aberdaron.

-I bought the penny farthing

-for my 40th birthday last year.

-It's a modern penny farthing

-with pneumatic tyres and brakes...

-..so it's more comfortable

-than the traditional version.

-Dewi is dressed as a banana

-to add a bit of fun to the ride.

-He's always had mad ideas.

-The plan was to cycle

-from Efailnewydd to Aberdaron.

-I wore the banana costume as a joke.

-I'm so proud of my brother for

-doing this on the penny farthing.

-Thanks to everyone

-for their support before this ride.

-I've got a Just Giving page

-for people to donate online.

-There's also a sponsor form

-at the Cabin Cafe in Pwllheli.

-The family has supported me,

-as Dewi is on the ride...

-..and my wife, Bethan and children

-like seeing me...

-..on this interesting trip

-around the Lleyn Peninsula.

-Passers-by beep their car horns

-or have done a double-take.

-People have turned around to ask us

-about it and it's quite funny.

-It's been interesting with people

-blowing horns, doing double-takes...

-..at my brother dressed as a banana

-and me in my bowler hat...

-..cycling to the song,

-Hen Feic Penny Farthing fy Nhaid.
