0:01:540:01:57

0:02:060:02:10

-Bear Grylls needs to be worried!

0:02:110:02:15

-Yvonne is in Carmarthen,

-but what's going on there?

0:02:150:02:20

-It's the launch

-of the Light A Candle Weekend.

0:02:200:02:24

-You can find out more later.

0:02:240:02:28

-And we're in Merthyr Tydfil to blog

-about the town's life and its past.

0:02:280:02:34

-But first, you're lost in a forest,

-it's getting dark and you're cold.

0:02:400:02:46

-What are you going to do?

0:02:460:02:49

-If you had taken part in a survival

-course at Moelyci near Tregarth...

0:02:490:02:53

-..you'd know a lot more about

-what to do in those circumstances.

0:02:530:02:58

-A former soldier

-from the Ogwen Valley...

0:02:580:03:02

-..has been keeping everyone safe

-in the forest.

0:03:020:03:05

-Gerallt has been to meet him.

0:03:060:03:09

-A day of fun and new experiences

-for a group of children...

0:03:090:03:13

-..in a forest

-on the slopes of Moelyci.

0:03:130:03:15

-Overseeing it all

-is Stephen Jones...

0:03:150:03:18

-..who plans to bring the life of the

-forest into the children's lives...

0:03:180:03:23

-..with his new company.

0:03:230:03:24

-Stephen, a great day

-and a great bunch of kids.

0:03:250:03:27

-They are a good bunch.

0:03:280:03:30

-We came here this morning

-to build outdoor shelters.

0:03:300:03:33

-The groups have had a good time.

0:03:330:03:37

-They have made four shelters,

-taking into consideration...

0:03:370:03:42

-..position and shelter

-from the sun, wind and rain.

0:03:420:03:50

-They've learnt the right and

-the wrong way of building shelters.

0:03:500:03:56

-They've done very well.

0:03:570:04:00

-We started off here

-and then walked a long way.

0:04:010:04:04

-Then we've been making dens.

0:04:040:04:07

-First of all,

-you need big pieces of wood.

0:04:070:04:12

-You put one long piece between two

-trees and rest the others on it.

0:04:130:04:17

-Then you put the material over them.

0:04:170:04:23

-Osian, why is it important

-to know how to build a shelter?

0:04:230:04:28

-Just in case

-you're lost in the forest.

0:04:280:04:33

-Then you would need to build one.

0:04:330:04:36

-What's the biggest difference

-about being outdoors here...

0:04:370:04:40

-..and to being at school?

0:04:410:04:44

-The biggest difference

-is being out in the fresh air...

0:04:440:04:49

-..taking part in fun activities.

0:04:490:04:53

-Stephen Jones spotted a gap

-in the outdoor pursuits market.

0:04:530:04:57

-He also saw the chance to provide

-Welsh-language services to kids.

0:04:580:05:02

-He started Aim Higher

-in order to fill that need.

0:05:020:05:06

-His experience as a soldier is the

-perfect background for the venture.

0:05:060:05:12

-Where did your army career

-as Royal Marine take you?

0:05:120:05:15

-Yes, I was very fortunate.

0:05:150:05:18

-Five of us from Bethesda applied...

0:05:180:05:23

-..and we all managed to reach the

-heady heights and get a Green Beret.

0:05:230:05:27

-I was fortunate to travel the world

-during my time as a Marine.

0:05:270:05:32

-Today's group now have the

-adventure of building a fire.

0:05:320:05:38

-This will be the highlight

-of their day.

0:05:380:05:40

-They have been for a trek

-around the area.

0:05:410:05:44

-They'll have something to eat before

-I show them how to start a fire.

0:05:440:05:49

-More importantly,

-how to deal with a fire safely.

0:05:490:05:53

-One thing is to enjoy life

-in the great outdoors...

0:05:530:05:56

-..another is to earn a living.

0:05:560:05:58

-That is your next challenge.

0:05:580:06:02

-Many people are aware that it's

-hard to make a living this way.

0:06:020:06:07

-But that's where my heart

-has taken me, and I love it.

0:06:080:06:11

-I used to be an electrician.

0:06:110:06:14

-That has been my career path

-over the years.

0:06:140:06:17

-I have worked in the open air

-for the past ten years.

0:06:170:06:21

-For the past two years,

-and especially last year...

0:06:210:06:24

-..I have worked on the company,

-Aim Higher.

0:06:240:06:27

-The Welsh name in Anelu.

0:06:270:06:30

-We are in the process of making

-everything bilingual...

0:06:300:06:34

-..and it's going very well.

0:06:340:06:36

-Thank you very much, Stephen!

0:06:370:06:41

-Before we chat to Martyn Geraint,

-I'll remind you of Fancy A Fortune?

0:06:490:06:57

-Who is the captain

-of the Wales football team?

0:06:570:07:01

-1) Ashley Jones, 2) Ashley Davies,

-or 3) Ashley Williams?

0:07:010:07:07

-The all-important number to call

-is 08443 35 12 44.

0:07:070:07:15

-The phone lines close

-at 7.15pm tonight.

0:07:150:07:21

-Get dialling now!

0:07:210:07:24

-Martyn,

-you are a Wales football fan.

0:07:260:07:29

-Don't give the answer away.

0:07:290:07:34

-Martyn is celebrating 25 years

-of entertaining Welsh children.

0:07:340:07:44

-You continue to entertain us.

0:07:490:07:55

-Yes, I am still busy.

0:07:550:07:58

-I was in Wrexham last week.

0:07:580:08:01

-The kids keep me young.

0:08:010:08:06

-How did you start on your career?

0:08:060:08:11

-I left college thirty years ago.

0:08:110:08:14

-I wanted to be a pop star.

0:08:140:08:18

-I was a jobbing actor.

0:08:180:08:22

-I was also on Ffalabalam.

0:08:230:08:29

-I did a show at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:08:290:08:35

-What have been your highlights?

0:08:350:08:45

-One of the audience members

-was a TV producer.

0:08:480:08:56

-I used to do shows across Wales.

0:08:570:09:07

-We also made some TV programmes

-in Finland and in Patagonia.

0:09:080:09:14

-We met Father Christmas in Finland.

0:09:260:09:36

-That's the biggest crowd

-I had played to...

0:09:370:09:42

-..before Match of the Day

-in Bordeaux!

0:09:420:09:46

-I even do birthday parties.

0:09:470:09:53

-I now see grandparents

-I used to sing to!

0:09:540:10:00

-It makes me feel old!

0:10:000:10:09

-Many people have been in touch

-on social media...

0:10:090:10:19

-..and recall your jamborees!

0:10:200:10:26

-Bethan remembers your early career.

0:10:270:10:34

-You still do your Jamborees.

0:10:340:10:40

-They help people learn Welsh.

0:10:400:10:50

-Over 25 years, people's attitude

-to Welsh has changed.

0:10:520:10:56

-That's especially

-in non-Welsh schools.

0:10:560:10:59

-I have to carry on.

0:10:590:11:01

-I have no pension!

0:11:010:11:05

-That's all for now,

-but we have plenty coming up.

0:11:050:11:08

-I'm in Merthyr Tydfil,

-yes, Merthyr Tydfil.

0:11:080:11:11

-This might not be the kind of scene

-you would associate with the town.

0:11:120:11:15

-Tonight, I hear about a young man

-who writes a blog about the area...

0:11:160:11:19

-..and how he is trying to get rid

-of those cliches about the town.

0:11:190:11:25

-We're also lighting candles for

-a special occasion on Carmarthen.

0:11:250:11:30

-You can find out more shortly.

0:11:300:11:32

0:11:320:11:36

0:11:540:11:56

-Carmarthen where Yvonne awaits us.

0:12:040:12:08

-Good evening, Yvonne.

0:12:080:12:10

-Good evening, Llinos.

0:12:120:12:14

-It's packed to the rafters here

-for a very important evening.

0:12:170:12:22

-Light A Candle Weekend is being

-launched by Talking Books Wales.

0:12:230:12:28

-I'm joined by Sulwyn Thomas who

-is Chairman of Talking Books Wales.

0:12:360:12:40

-Welcome to Heno, Sulwyn.

0:12:400:12:42

-Thank you.

0:12:430:12:45

-Thank you for coming

-to this important evening.

0:12:540:12:57

-We offer a special service to the

-blind and visually impaired.

0:13:060:13:11

-We are calling it Light A Candle

-Weekend...

0:13:190:13:22

-..to bring light into the lives of

-the blind and visually impaired.

0:13:240:13:30

-We have had a great start.

0:13:380:13:40

-We are grateful to people's

-contribution and donations.

0:13:410:13:45

-We've had a great start tonight.

0:13:450:13:47

-People across Wales are encouraged

-to hold fund-raising events...

0:13:470:13:51

-..to highlight this service for

-blind and visually impaired people.

0:13:520:13:56

-Each event will kick-off

-with the lighting of a candle.

0:13:560:14:01

-I think the Heno crew could remain

-silent for a whole hour!

0:14:140:14:19

-Rhian is the founder

-of this service.

0:14:270:14:30

-She couldn't be here tonight.

0:14:340:14:36

-She started to lose her sight and

-was a librarian in Carmarthen.

0:14:480:14:51

-She started it in her home.

0:14:510:14:53

-She came up with the idea of

-creating audio books.

0:15:040:15:08

-We have 2,000 books on file.

0:15:080:15:10

-We record almost 40 books a year.

0:15:110:15:14

-Noir Lloyd is here tonight.

0:15:260:15:28

-How important is it to you?

0:15:300:15:32

-The service is a lifeline for me.

0:15:340:15:37

-My life would be very quiet

-without it.

0:15:410:15:44

-I raise my hat to Sulwyn!

0:15:440:15:46

-The service has enrichened my life.

0:15:550:15:58

-I would sit at home

-alone without it.

0:16:010:16:04

-I'm unable to read print due to my

-sight.

0:16:170:16:20

-To raise money, organize events

-yourselves.

0:16:210:16:24

-Right then, Martyn and I

-have come over to the wheel...

0:16:240:16:28

-..because it's time to play

-Fancy a Fortune!

0:16:280:16:31

-# Fancy A Fortune? #

0:16:310:16:33

-Tonight, we asked you to name the

-captain of the Wales football team.

0:16:360:16:40

-The answer is Ashley Williams.

0:16:400:16:42

-I've got the all-important

-phone numbers here.

0:16:430:16:47

-Let's get dialling.

0:16:480:16:50

-Let's try another number.

0:17:070:17:09

-I can tell you that this number

-is for the Swansea area.

0:17:140:17:18

-Let's try another number.

0:17:210:17:23

-I can tell you that this number

-is for the Barry area.

0:17:330:17:36

-It's ringing.

0:17:370:17:39

-It's still ringing.

0:17:410:17:43

-Hello, it's Llinos Lee

-from S4C's Heno.

0:17:510:17:54

-Who am I talking to?

0:17:540:17:56

-It's Yvonne!

0:17:570:17:59

-Where are you calling from?

0:18:010:18:03

-I'm in Barry.

0:18:040:18:06

-I've moved to Barry

-from North Wales.

0:18:100:18:12

-Martyn will give the wheel a spin

-and we'll see how much you've win.

0:18:130:18:17

-Congratulations, you've won 500.

0:18:210:18:23

-Congratulations to you!

0:18:260:18:28

-Thank you very much.

0:18:290:18:31

-Martyn, do you use social media

-like Twitter and Facebook?

0:18:360:18:39

-Yes, I do, @MartynGeraint.

0:18:400:18:41

-Tomorrow is Social Media Day.

0:18:410:18:43

-One young blogger who has come

-to our attention on Twitter...

0:18:440:18:48

-..is Lloffion Alltud,

-the alter ego of Morgan Owen.

0:18:480:18:51

-Morgan is originally from Merthyr

-Tydfil but now lives in Cardiff.

0:18:510:18:55

-In his blog, he introduces us to

-many different aspects of Merthyr.

0:18:560:19:00

-Daf Wyn went to meet him.

0:19:000:19:01

-During the Industrial

-Revolution...

0:19:020:19:04

-..it was the world centre

-for the coal and steel industries.

0:19:040:19:07

-These days, the importance of the

-town is no longer talked about...

0:19:080:19:12

-..rather its sorry looking state.

0:19:120:19:14

-Morgan Owen

-is trying to change this.

0:19:140:19:17

-He is the writer of a blog,

-Lloffion Alltud (Notes of an Exile).

0:19:170:19:21

-In two months, Morgan will move

-from Merthyr for ever.

0:19:210:19:25

-Before then, he wants to note down

-his memories of the town.

0:19:250:19:29

-Before I leave, I would like

-to set the story straight.

0:19:290:19:33

-Merthyr isn't mentioned that often

-in the media.

0:19:340:19:37

-When Merthyr is featured,

-it's always to the same end...

0:19:380:19:42

-..to show how bad and poor it is.

0:19:420:19:45

-There are problems here but there's

-so much more to Merthyr than that.

0:19:470:19:51

-It's a mixture

-of memories and history...

0:19:520:19:55

-..but also, the relationship

-Merthyr has to Wales today...

0:19:550:19:59

-..and to the Welsh language.

0:19:590:20:01

-Our journey begins as we walk

-through the busy town centre...

0:20:040:20:07

-..past the site

-of the Merthyr Rising...

0:20:070:20:10

-..and to a place of worship.

0:20:100:20:12

-However, it's not a chapel.

0:20:130:20:15

-Some peoples see the valleys

-as full of chapels and Welsh people.

0:20:170:20:22

-At one time, there was a large

-Jewish community in Merthyr...

0:20:230:20:28

-..one of the biggest in Wales.

0:20:280:20:30

-There were also Spanish

-and Italian communities...

0:20:300:20:33

-..indeed, people from all

-four corners of the globe.

0:20:340:20:37

-It's one aspects of the town's

-history which has been neglected.

0:20:380:20:42

-A few minutes out of the town

-centre in Dowlais...

0:20:430:20:46

-..the area's industrial heritage

-is highlighted in Morgan's blog.

0:20:460:20:51

-The biggest works in Merthyr

-were those at Dowlais.

0:20:510:20:54

-Down the road is the engine house

-of the works...

0:20:550:20:59

-..a great example of Industrial

-Revolution architecture.

0:21:000:21:05

-It couldn't be ignored

-and it's why we're here today.

0:21:050:21:09

-My grandfather, John Owen...

0:21:110:21:13

-..was a manager at Dowlais

-in the 1970s and 1980s.

0:21:140:21:18

-My grandmother still lives

-up the road in Station Terrace.

0:21:200:21:24

-By the way, it's also the street

-where Laura Ashley was born.

0:21:250:21:30

-Here is the Guest Library.

0:21:310:21:33

-It was built by the pennies

-of those who worked here.

0:21:340:21:38

-Some people might not be aware

-that it was here...

0:21:390:21:43

-..where the Mabinogion were first

-translated into English...

-..by Lady Charlotte Guest.

0:21:470:21:49

-It's a very important part

-of Welsh history.

0:21:510:21:53

-It's also relevant to Merthyr...

0:21:540:21:57

-..and I thought

-it should not be forgotten.

0:21:580:22:01

-Our whistle-stop tour of Merthyr

-ends in a very different place...

0:22:020:22:07

-..on the Cyfarthfa Tramroad Trail.

0:22:070:22:10

-Merthyr is far from being

-a grey town.

0:22:120:22:15

-We are standing under

-the Heads of the Valleys road.

0:22:160:22:20

-I can hardly hear you due to the

-babbling brook and the birdsong.

0:22:210:22:26

-It's an appropriate place

-to end our journey.

0:22:260:22:30

-You yourself will be an exile

-from Merthyr in two months time.

0:22:320:22:35

-Will you miss the place?

0:22:350:22:37

-I'm not only leaving

-such a beautiful place...

0:22:370:22:41

-..I'm leaving my home.

0:22:410:22:43

-I will miss the place, but I have

-to say that I'm ready to move on.

0:22:460:22:51

-It's bitter-sweet.

0:22:510:22:53

-You still have plenty to write about

-before you move.

0:22:540:22:58

-Thanks for the tour, but we still

-have a way to walk, don't we.

0:22:580:23:02

-Off we go.

0:23:020:23:04

-Martyn Geraint has been

-my studio guest this evening.

0:23:090:23:13

-I'm taking the Ponty boys to France

-again.

0:23:300:23:33

-I'm going to Lille with the family

-on Friday.

0:23:390:23:42

-I'm in Flintshire next week

-for a jamboree.

0:23:530:23:57

-There isn't a panto this year

-unfortunately.

0:24:010:24:04

-That's all from us this evening.

0:24:070:24:09

-Prynhawn Da returns at 2.00pm

-tomorrow afternoon.

0:24:090:24:12

-On Heno at 7.00pm,

-we'll be at the Anglesey Circuit...

0:24:120:24:16

-..as primary schools from Gwynedd

-and Anglesey race on the track.

0:24:160:24:21

-Huw Fash will meet up

-with some very busy London nannies.

0:24:210:24:24

-And we'll be meeting Gareth Bale.

0:24:250:24:27

-No, not in the flesh, but in a new

-painting by artist Meirion Jones.

0:24:270:24:31

-Eirlys Myfanwy, the singer,

-will be our studio guest.

0:24:320:24:36

-Until tomorrow night, goodnight.
