-The Pembrokeshire Coast. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
-A place famous for its -spectacular scenery and wildlife. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
-Everyone agrees that its creatures -and plant life should be protected. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
-But what about coastal place names? -Those must also be protected. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
-In this series, our aim is to -preserve some of them for posterity. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:29 | |
-Our tour of the coast takes us -from Goodwick near Fishguard... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-..past Pen Caer and Pwll Deri... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-..further south to Abercastle. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
-This is the sea opposite Fishguard. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-Over the centuries, not everyone -has been so welcoming to visitors. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
-People have always -surveyed this coastline... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-..with a combination -of wonder and envy. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
-Some have even tried -to claim this coast as their own. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-This was the setting -for the last invasion of Britain... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-..by the French in 1797. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-These cannons -opened fire on the French. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-But it's believed -that blanks were fired... | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-..since the fort -only had three cannonballs. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-The history -is captured at the Town Hall... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-..in a hanging 100-foot tapestry -sewn by 80 local women. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-It's apt that this incredible work -resembles the form and format... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
-..of the Bayeux Tapestry in France. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-The French attacked for two days -before conceding defeat. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Our ancestors knew that this land -was worth fighting for. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-This white dolmen in the heart -of a housing estate in Pen Cw... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-..proves that this land -has been inhabited for centuries. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-Somewhere in the mists of time... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-..the origin of the name, -Pen Cw, has disappeared. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-But it's widely used -in the local area. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-Pen Cw is written -with a circumflex above the W... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-..though the postal address -is Harbour Village. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-As we circumnavigate Pen Caer... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-..we pass the exact spot -where the French landed. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-It appears as a flat rock on maps... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-..but the local name for it -is Camp Y French. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-The term -has become a turn of phrase locally. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
-If things get the better of you, -then it's Camp Y French for you... | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-..meaning that you might as well -jump off a cliff into the sea. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
-I wouldn't like to fall off there! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-We're nearing Porthsychan, -or to give it its unofficial name... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
-..Porth y Gof. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Sychan must've been the stream... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-..which flowed into the bay... | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-..and more than likely dried up -during a summer heatwave. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
-Anglers to the south of here -called the place Porth y Gof. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-Porthsychan is its name -from the direction of the land... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-..and Porth y Gof is its name -from the direction of the sea. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-Having turned into the bay, -I head inland... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
-..to search for the blacksmith -after whom the area is named. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
-Jac Williams, -otherwise known as Jac Pontiago... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
-..has worked -in this little smithy all his life. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-You were born and raised here, Jac. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
-It's a beautiful part of the world. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
-It's a beautiful part of the world. - -Yes, indeed. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
-We've just come from Pontsychan... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-..which some people -refer to as Aber y Gof. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-Yes, that's what the people from -Abereiddy and Porthgain called it. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:50 | |
-My great-grandfather's boat was -moored in a place called Bae'r Gof. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
-You're also a blacksmith by trade. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-Yes, I learnt the craft. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-You've worked here all your life? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-Yes, but things have changed. -The need for horses is dying out. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-They're being replaced by tractors. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-The garage -is the other side of the road. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
-There are Morris Minors everywhere. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-I'm a fan of them, as you can see! | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-You've spent the best part -of your life on the sea shore. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
-Yes, and in Porthsychan Bay, -of course. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-I spent most of my time there. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-There's a small beach nearby -called Allt-y-Ffynnon. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-Things were washed ashore -from the sea during wartime. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-What kind of things did you find? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-All kinds of things - wax, oil... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-..and things like that. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-They must've come in handy. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
-They must've come in handy. - -I'd bring the wax here... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-..and make candles from it -using a bicycle pump. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-I'd melt the wax in the furnace -and pour it into the bicycle pump. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-I'd then put twine in the middle -to make a candle. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-You've spent -a lot of time in boats too. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-I'd sail around -Strumble Head Lighthouse... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..towards Aber Bach -and up towards Allt-y-Ffynnon. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
-I'd row halfway to Goodwick. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-I was used to rowing boats -in those days. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-That was as far as I could row! | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-There are lovely names on coastal -areas surrounding Pen Caer... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-..as you circumnavigate it. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-I've been looking at old maps. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-I've come across -names like Y Globa Fawr. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
-Yes, that's between -Allt-y-Ffynnon and Porthsychan. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-There was also -an Aber Dani and an Aber Morgan. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-Aber Morgan got its name from -a ship that had run aground... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:57 | |
-..and whose captain -was called Captain Morgan. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-They called the estuary after him. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Further south, I noticed... | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-..that the names grab your attention -because they're so unusual. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
-Pwll-ffyliaid (Fools' Pool). | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-That's right. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-There are many stories about -how Pwll-ffyliaid got its name... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
-..if you listen to -the people who live nearby. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-One of them, a local, had -a small holding around that area. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-He'd go to Haverfordwest... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-..which is 25 miles from here. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-He'd go to the livestock market -or something like that. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
-He'd go halfway... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-..and then come back home... | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-..because he thought -he'd broken the journey in half. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-That's apparently true. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-How many people -have the same accent as you? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-It's quite a unique accent. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-You have a vocabulary -I've not heard before. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-I can count them on two hands, -to be honest... | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-..those families -who have a Pen Caer dialect. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-So it's almost died out? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-Yes, it's gone. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-I feel like an archaeologist -as I make my way across the fields. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-Porthsychan and Porth y Gof -aren't the only moorings. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-There's another too. Aber Degan. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-The name has -all but disappeared from the land. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-No reference is made to it -on the current OS map. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-They tell me Capel Degan -(Degan Chapel) once stood here. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-So, who's Degan -and where's his chapel? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-The last farm we come to -before Ireland is Tresinwen. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-Richard Lewis -has farmed this land all his life. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-Where would I find -the ruins of Capel Degan? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
-If we walk for 200m -down this path... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-..turn left down Feudir Syrth -and down to Porthsychan beach... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
-..we can join -the Coast Path there... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-..and walk uphill to the park. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-The ruins -can be seen from the headland. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-Is that in the Pen Caer area? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:33 | |
-Is that in the Pen Caer area? - -Yes, it is. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-St Degan's Chapel is plain to see... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-..on a map from 1887. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-By the time -the 1948 map replaces it... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-..all it says is, -"St Degan's Chapel, site of." | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
-By the time -the current map was created... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-..there is no reference -to the chapel at all. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
-In Richard Fenton's 1811 book... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-..A Historical Tour -Through Pembrokeshire... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-..there's a record of a letter -from 1720 which mentions the ruins. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-It also mentions -St Degan's clothes... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-..belonging to someone -who had owned them for 40 years. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-He was given them -by a woman in her 90s. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-The scribe, a man called H Gough... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
-..sent a letter to Brown Willis with -a piece of the clothing enclosed. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
-He mentions that the cassock -was a yard in length... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-..with holes for the head and -two arms and loops on each side... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..of blue silk. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
-He finishes by saying... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
-..that this ancient costume was -recently sold to a foreign tourist. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-I wonder who that traveller was? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
-I wonder if anything remains -of the clothes and the chapel? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:08 | |
-Legend has it -that Degan was a monk... | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
-..who fled from -the drowning of Cantre'r Gwaelod... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-..and landed safely here. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-Here are the ruins of Capel Degan. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-There's little to see here. -It's disappeared from the map. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-But at least -there's some territorial evidence... | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
-..to explain the name, Aber Degan. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |

-I leave the peace of Porthsychan -and pass the Pen Caer Lighthouse. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
-The light is projected -over 26 miles out to sea. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
-The structure has dominated -this small island since 1908. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-But there's one small problem. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-Local people tell me that the -lighthouse is on the wrong island. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-Current maps claim -that this is St Michael's Island... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-..when in fact St Michael's Island -is the next island along. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-This is Ynys Onnen (Ash Island). | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
-It might've been wrongly recorded -when the lighthouse was built. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
-Someone somewhere -thought St Michael's Island... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-..sounded better than Ash Island. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-A short distance to the south, -we approach Pwll Deri. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-The three sentries guarding -the coast are called Tri Maen Trai. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
-They are only visible at half-tide, -so it'd be easy to crash into them. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
-But if you know their name, -you know to exercise caution. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-We've circumnavigated Pen Caer -and before we reach Pwll Deri... | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-..we've reached this small bay -called Porth Maen Melyn. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-The meaning of the name is clear. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-The cliffs -are overgrown with gorse. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-In full bloom, this area -is awash with yellow petals. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-With such spectacular views... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-..there's no wonder this -youth hostel overlooking the sea... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-..was voted -Britain's most picturesque hostel. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
-A famous poem about Pwll Deri was -written by a local, Dewi Emrys... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-..who was regarded as one of -his era's brightest preachers... | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-..until he fell on hard times -and became a tramp. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-He saw his chance to make money... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-..by competing -in the National Eisteddfod. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-In 1926, he won two competitions, -including the Crown... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
-..and received 37 prize money... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
-..which was an adequate sum -for someone in his predicament. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-But before -he could spend his winnings... | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-..his wife tracked him down and he -had to hand over the money to her... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-..and take his crown -to a pawnbrokers in Swansea. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-When he died, in the middle -of the 20th century... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-..very few attended his funeral. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-But his poems remain, -the most famous of which... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-..was inspired by the beauty of the -gorse-covered cliffs of Pwll Deri. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
-He describes the summer... | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
-..as an audacious angel, throwing -his riches over the cliff. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-Further along from Pwll Crochan and -we come to Aber Bach and Aber Mawr. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
-The difference in their size -is obvious. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-Aber Bach's beach may be small -but it has a tall tale behind it. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-At the beginning -of the 19th century... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-..a farmer -from Treseisyllt up on the hill... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
-..came for a stroll along Aber Bach. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-The tide was out... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-..and he came across -a beautiful mermaid. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-What did he do? He did -what any sensible person would do. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-He took her home and put her -in a tub of saltwater. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-The mermaid asked to be freed -but the farmer refused. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
-She pleaded with him -but still he refused. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-In the end, she lost her temper -and cursed the farm. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
-She said no more children -would be born at the farm. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-She startled the farmer and he -dragged her back down to the sea. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-The curse hung over the farmers -of Treseisyllt like a black cloud... | 0:16:03 | 0:16:09 | |
-..until eventually in 1960... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-..a child was born there. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
-That's what happens when you -keep a mermaid in your bath! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
-Aber Mawr is a good place to -collect seaweed to make laverbread. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
-Large quantities were sent -from here to Swansea Market. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-But during the winter storms of -2014, the rocks were washed clean. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-As a result, -it will be a poor harvest this year. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-Four miles south... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-..is Abercastle -and Ynys Castell (Castle Island). | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-When the tide is out, -you can walk to the island. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-But when the tide comes in... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-..unless you have a boat, -you'll be stranded there. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-You wouldn't want to spend the night -with the Grave of Samson's Big Toe. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
-In order to discover -why Samson lost his big toe... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-..I must follow this path -through Cwm Badau (Bay of Boats)... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-..and climb above the beach. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-During the building of the dolmen, -the giant injured his foot. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-He threw his big toe all the way -to Ynys Castell and built another... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-..for the burial of his body. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
-If he needed a dolmen just to bury -his big toe, he must've been huge! | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-Lyn Davies -is a pillar of the local community. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
-How long -have you lived in Abercastle, Lyn? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-I've lived here 80 years. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-I was born in Trefin but -moved back here at four days old. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-Four days old? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
-Four days old? - -I've never lived anywhere else. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-Have you always lived in this house? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
-Have you always lived in this house? - -Yes. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-If I lived here, -I doubt I'd move either. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-What was the village like -during your childhood? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-All the residents were local people. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-I remember where every family lived. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
-You were brought up with the sea. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-Are you from a seafaring family? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-Yes, we were all -brought up with the sea. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-We'd go fishing -after coming home from work. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-We did very little else. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-During the summer months, -we spent our time boating. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-Even if it was just for pleasure, -not necessarily to fish. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
-It was a way -of wasting time back then. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-There's no better way -of wasting time. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-No. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-Did your ancestors fish for pleasure -as well as it being a business? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
-Back then, yes. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
-They'd catch fish here, -prepare them... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-..and take them to Fishguard. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-Wealthy solicitors used to -live in Fishguard at the time. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
-They had plenty of money. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
-They used to get my grandfather -drunk so that he'd reduce the price. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
-He'd get so drunk... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-..they'd pick him up, -put him in a cart... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-..get the donkey to face this way -and send it on its way. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-He'd make it home and he'd be -sleeping at the bottom of the cart. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-The horse brought him home? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
-The horse brought him home? - -It was a donkey back then. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
-It's very different nowadays... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-..but there weren't -any cars on the road back then. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-That's a true story. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-I'm going fishing -with your brother now. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-I'm sure -you'll have a great afternoon. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-Is he a trustworthy skipper? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-He should be. He's a man of the sea. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-Fingers crossed. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
-Vivian Davies -is a lobster fisherman. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-He earns a living fishing the waters -either side of Abercastle. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-Aren't you giving me waterproofs? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
-Aren't you giving me waterproofs? - -No. I don't have a spare set. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-How far south will you fish? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
-As far as Aber Felin. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-We can go there, if you like. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-Vivian fishes for lobster along -a coast with sweet-sounding names... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
-..such as Trwyn Y Briw, Carreg -Wylan, Pwll Strodur and Mwntan. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
-He immerses cages that are -tied together in rows of 10. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
-If he gets a decent-sized lobster -in all of the 10 cages... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-..he's one happy man. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-That's what we like to see. -It's the right size and everything. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
-What's this region called? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-Aber Felin. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-The furthest end of your patch? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
-We're just within Pwll Olfa... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
-..Pwll Onn and Witan are over there. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-Witan? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-There are also -some rocks and islands. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
-We call one of the islands -Trwyn Mari Bowen. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-Trwyn Mari Bowen -(Mari Bowen's Nose)? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-It serves -as a reference point for us. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-So that you know -where to lower your cages? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-Yes. We can tell where we are -from the markers on land. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
-We say, "It's in line -with Mari Bowen's Nose." | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
-You know -where to lower the cages then. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-How did you -learn about these names... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
-..and how to fish? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-We started fishing with Dad -at nine years of age. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-He knew all these names... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-..and passed on his knowledge to me. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-If he didn't get a bite -from the lobsters... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-..he caught rabbits and put them -in the pots, along with crows. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
-He didn't put crows -in lobster cages? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-Yes, that's what he used to do. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-He'd shoot crows? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
-He'd shoot crows? - -Yes, he'd shoot crows. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
-There are plenty of rabbits -around here too. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
-Did he skin them afterwards? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
-Did he skin them afterwards? - -Yes, and chopped them in half... | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-..to use as bait. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-And the lobsters liked it? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-We caught much more back then -than we do now. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-You have a very nice job, -I have to say! | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-When the weather's like it is today. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
