-The Valleys -have always been my home. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
-Each valley with its industrial -scars and colourful characters... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
-..have left -a lasting impression on me. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-I'm revisiting the Valleys... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
-..and meeting characters -who are truly welcoming. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
-Why not jump on board my ride? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-I'm shifting gear -and heading for the horizon! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
-The Tywi valley, one of -the largest valleys in South Wales. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
-It begins -way up the Cambrian Mountains... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-..and ends -at the tip of Carmarthenshire. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-I start my journey -at Llyn Brianne reservoir. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
-I'll then go down to the village of -Cilycwm, Llandovery, Llandeilo... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
-..before joining the course -of the Tywi in Carmarthen. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-I finish in the lovely Llansteffan. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-This huge lake -is my first port of call. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-It was built in the '60s and '70s... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
-..as one of the deepest and largest -reservoirs in South Wales. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-Its scenery is wonderful, -including this huge dam. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-They started building the dam -in the early 1960s. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
-It was officially completed in 1973. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-It took over a decade -from start to finish. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-The Swansea area needed water. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
-The population was growing... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
-..and there was industry in places -like Llansamlet and Felindre. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-Clean and safe water was needed. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-That's why they built the reservoir -in this valley. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-The water follows the same path now -as it did some 60 years ago. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-It joins the Tywi river and goes -down to Nantgaredig near Carmarthen. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
-The water is taken from the river -and pumped to Felindre. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-There's a large -water treatment works in Felindre. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-It's cleaned and then transferred -across South Wales... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
-..from the Gower to Bridgend. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-The nature of reservoirs -depend on the surroundings. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-This is among the highest reservoirs -in Europe. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-It's about 100 metres in height. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-That's what enables us -to produce renewable energy... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-..with hydroelectric power -at the bottom. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-How many are there in Wales? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
-There are almost -100 reservoirs here... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-..with others -in storages underground. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-This water has to be treated -before it's sent out to customers. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-The water underground -has already been treated. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-It's an incredible area. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-I wonder how many people -in Gowerton, Neath and Bridgend... | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
-..know how important -this is to them. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-I'd encourage people to come up here -to see this and appreciate it. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-From Rhandirmwyn -I go to Cilycwm next... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-..to meet a man -who's competitive in two fields... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
-..singing -and farming quality French cattle. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-# It's nice to go out | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
-# I like going out | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-# At the end of the day -when the work is done | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-# When work is finished # | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-Aled, we're in Cilycwm. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-The Tywi is on the other side -of that hill. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-Yes, the Tywi is on the other side. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-A feature of the Tywi valley... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-..is that it narrows -near Llandovery... | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-..but widens near Cilycwm. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
-Cilycwm means narrow valley. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-The valley widens -before narrowing near Rhandirmwyn. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-The farm has changed. Didn't you -used to keep Herefords years ago? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-Yes, it's what my parents kept. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-Before then, my grandparents -and my father milked here. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-Things changed -for economic reasons. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-Llyn Brianne was built up the valley -and it was hard to find farmhands. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:29 | |
-So my parents finished milking -and changed to Hereford cattle. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
-They kept them for a decade or two. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-Then the profitability -of those cattle decreased. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-When I came home to farm, we chose -another breed, the Limousin. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-The farm has a good name. -It's famous across Europe. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
-You're the President of -the International Limousin Council. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-Yes, I'm the President -for another year. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-I hope to finish this year. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-The Limousin breed -has become very important. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-We were very lucky to have some of -the best bloodlines available. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:15 | |
-We've had some success. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
-They're an important part -of the business. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-Eleri, Aled's wife, -is also a professional singer. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-They became an item -after competing on stage. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-It would be perfect -around this table... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-..had I won the Blue Riband -at the Eisteddfod too. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-You've both won it, haven't you? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-You've both won it, haven't you? - -Yes. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
-A husband and wife. Is that unique? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-Are you the only husband and wife -to win the Blue Riband? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-As far as I know. Up to now, anyway. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-They happened -a couple of years apart. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
-Yes, I'm quite a bit younger -than Aled. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-You met whilst performing -on stage somewhere. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-Was the light low -with an orchestra playing?! | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-The only time we've sang together -was in that first Blue Riband. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
-We didn't sing on a concert stage -together until we got married. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-It was like someone -was plotting to keep us apart. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-It looked like it. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
-There was a flash -and something kept you away! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
-You've moved down here. -You're a farmer's daughter. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Yes. I'm from Llangernyw -in the Conwy Valley. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-It's a village -between Llanrwst and Abergele. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-I've moved from one valley -to another, the Tywi valley. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-This is a famous, important -and busy farm. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Do you have time -to fit everything in? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-You have to, I'm sure. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-We make time. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-But farming is our livelihood. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
-The singing brings us enjoyment -when we have time to do it. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
-On I go to Llandovery... | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-..to meet a man who is passionate -about his motorbike. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-A brave man -who's spent months on his bike... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-..travelling to far-flung countries -for months at a time. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-Quite a feat. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
-Jim, this is big, that's swish. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-This has been to Europe, -that's been all over the world. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-This is like a shire horse -in Llanelwedd, that's like a cob. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-Where have you been in all? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
-Long trips abroad. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
-I've been lucky, Roy. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-I mustn't forget -how lucky I've been. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-About five years ago, -my wife knew I was itching to go. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
-She let me go on two trips. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-Last year, I flew my bike over -to Anchorage in Alaska... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |

-..and down as far as Las Vegas... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-..and back through -the middle of America. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-The trip -lasted four and a half months. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-That was one trip. -Four and a half months. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-But there was a trip before then. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
-But there was a trip before then. - -Yes, there was. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |

-Where's next? Africa? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-No, it's too dangerous. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-The geopolitical problems there -are terrible. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-Talking about danger, -have you experienced anything... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |

-In Uzbekistan, I got hassle -from the military police. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
-They fiddled around with the bike -and took everything out. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
-Everything was on the ground. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-They wanted bribes -and fined me 500. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
-What for? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
-They took my passport, put it in -the car and wouldn't give it back. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |

-I hope my wife's not listening! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |

-..to give Welsh-medium classical -education to South Wales students. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
-Quite simply, he chose Llandovery -because of its central location... | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-..and it was far enough -from industrial areas. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-It was a clean and pure location -therefore for educating individuals. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
-It was originally a place -for the sons of ministers... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
-..to train them to become ministers. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
-Girls started to attend in 1968. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |

-Your mother and father think the -path is clear - to go to university. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-But you don't think like that. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
-But you don't think like that. - -No, I'm different. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
-I'm quite brave, I think. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-If someone wants to be a doctor... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-..going to university -is the best way to achieve that aim. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-For me, I think university -would be a waste of time. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
-There's a lot I want to do. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-I don't need to go to university. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-That's what I think, really. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
-You have a dream. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
-A dream, yes. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:58 | |
-I would like... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-My dream is to do what I want to do. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-My goal is to go on Gardeners' World -as a presenter. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-That would be... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
-A presenter on Gardeners' World? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-I want to try to inspire young -people to learn how to grow food... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-..because it's fun. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-I'm thinking... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-..you have presenting skills, -you've won this award... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-..you play rugby, at the base -of the scrum as a flanker... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
-..you're tall and you have a talent -as a presenter... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-We have a bit in common! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
-A break in the journey. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
-St Cwrdaf church, Llanwrda. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-There's a story that Owain Glyndwr -was buried here for a time... | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
-..under the altar. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-Fact or legend? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-If you know more than me, -let me know. You know where I am. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-I do like legends. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-Dryslwyn and Dinefwr castles are -giants that shelter the landscape. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
-Both were built -within 100 years of each other... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-..around the 12th century. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-Both are keeping the valley thriving -through tourism. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
-The valley ends -in southern Carmarthenshire... | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-..where the Tywi -meets the Gwendraeth and the Taf... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-..before they flow into the sea -in the shadow of this great ruin... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
-..Llansteffan Castle. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
-My journey comes to an end -in the company of a dear friend. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-A few months ago, Sara Edwards -became the Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
-It's a very important job -and a huge honour for her. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-Sara, first of all, congratulations -on being appointed to the role. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-It's a big honour, isn't it? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
-It's a big honour, isn't it? - -Yes, it is. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
-It was a huge surprise for me. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-I try to take everything -as they come. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-You used to be -the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-Dyfed is a large area. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-It is. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-It's the largest lieutenancy -in Wales in terms of area. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
-I do spend a lot of time -in the car... | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-..as it includes Ceredigion, -Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-Each of those counties -are different. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
-They are. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:48 | |
-Some areas -have lots of Welsh speakers. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-Areas of Pembrokeshire -aren't Welsh speaking. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-So I try to be a bridge in a way... | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-..trying to bring people together. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-You're the Queen's representative -in the county. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-Yes, that is my role. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-The Lord-Lieutenant represents -the Queen, King or Royal Family. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:19 | |
-You help out during royal visits... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
-..and you help -in the process of appointing JPs. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-It's very different -and very interesting. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-How do the messages get to you -from the Palace? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
-Do you get sent a letter or do you -receive a phone call saying... | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
-.."Sara, we have a favour to ask." | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-It depends. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
-Of course, it's important to keep -people in the Palace in the loop... | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
-..with what's happening in the area. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-Sometimes, you receive a phone call -from the office... | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
-..or you receive a letter. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-Before every royal visit... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-..you have to do reccies -with the police... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-..to make sure everything's fine -and in order. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-It's a big honour just to do it. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-I'm apparently the first woman -to do the role in Dyfed. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
-That's quite nice too. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
-The role of Lord-Lieutenant -goes back centuries. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-It's important for Welsh people -to know about the role. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Over the centuries, it hasn't had -much to do with ordinary people. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
-They don't know much about it. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-As I said, -it's a big honour to do the role. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-I'd like to increase awareness -about what a Lord-Lieutenant does... | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
-..and what he or she can do -in the community... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-..including bringing people -together, helping volunteers... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
-..and helping young people. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-It's very different. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-As well as that... | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
-..it's up to every Lord-Lieutenant -as to what they do in their area. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | |
-So I'm doing my best. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-As well as the role, -you have a daughter called Hannah. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
-How old is she? Ten, eleven? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-How old is she? Ten, eleven? - -She's ten. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
-She'll be going to secondary school -before long. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
-Your husband -has an important job in the Army. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-You have a busy life. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
-Well, we have very deep roots -in the area. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-In Carmarthenshire, -Crugybar and Llanfihangel-ar-Arth. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:39 | |
-My father's family originally -came from Aberaeron and Fishguard. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:45 | |
-So I do feel like I come from Dyfed! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
-Good luck to you. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-Thank you. I'll try my best. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-I'm sure you will. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
-It's a very good choice, by the way. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-It's a very good choice, by the way. - -I've had a lot of help too. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
-Fair play to them, the counties -have been very supportive. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
-I appreciate it. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-I'm sure -you'll have a great few years. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-I hope. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
-My journey through the South-West -Valleys has been unforgettable. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
-The Vale of Neath -with their dramatic waterfalls. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
-The ambassador of Glynneath, -my old friend Max Boyce. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-The Swansea Valley, -Adelina Patti's palatial home... | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
-..and the sad propaganda film about -Lidice when I visited Cwmgiedd. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
-What about the Amman Valley? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
-The sacred acres of my childhood, -the Black Mountain... | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-..and the emotional site of Steer -Pit where my grandfather was killed. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-The Gwendraeth... | 0:21:58 | 0:21:59 | |
-..with none other than the king -of the oval ball, Barry John. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-The Valley's glorious end -where two rivers meet in Kidwelly. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-Perhaps the biggest thanks goes to -Ken Rees from the Loughor Valley. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-He corrected the size of my feet... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
-..after almost 60 years of -wearing shoes two sizes too small. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-To finish, one of South Wales's -most beautiful Valleys, the Tywi. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-I met a young entrepreneur -and chatted to an old friend. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-The journey has been a privilege -and nothing but a pleasure. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
-My old teacher habits die hard - -I hope you've learnt something... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-..and enjoyed the journey with me. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-Where next? I'll keep the helmet and -leather jacket safe just in case. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
