0:02:17 > 0:02:21Antaine, Ivor. Good to meet you. Cormac, good to meet you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Good to meet you.- Great.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Today we're going to be skiing on the River Bann.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32We will show you our basic good water-skiing position,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36just for today, and then afterwards we can work on our technique.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41We're going to slowly sit down, we're going to keep our feet where they are
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and just fall back on your bum, great.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We're still in a water-ski position, not in a crash position.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52We're just going to let the rope, the power source... Perfect.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54See the way you didn't fight me?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58You can now stand up using quadriceps.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02We'll just bend our knees a little bit, so we have some suspension.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Great. And we'll slow down and we'll stop skiing again.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07This is what we're doing on the bar, beside the boat,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09then we'll go on to the rope.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19OK. Now, just without breaking the fins, can you show me
0:03:19 > 0:03:23your skiing position again, what it's going to be like?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Very good.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Just for today, then after a week you can stand up and ski along,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and if we hit any bumps
0:03:31 > 0:03:34we always have that flexible knee joint forward.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Very good.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39If you just bend your knees, and just sit over to the left,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41put your hand on the jetty, have a seat.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Very good, sit down, yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Don't let me pull you over the front, Antaine.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14OK, we're going to sit down, one, two, three, four, five! Very good!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29# You're all I have in this teenage twilight
0:04:29 > 0:04:32# Your golden hair and pale blue eyes
0:04:32 > 0:04:35# But through all the days and sleepless nights
0:04:35 > 0:04:37# we have never been satisfied... #
0:04:47 > 0:04:52# Everything will burn, baby, burn
0:04:52 > 0:04:53# Look into my tired eyes... #
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Very good.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Starting and stopping, very important to be in that position.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Would you like to try the rope?- OK.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Stand up, stand up, stand up.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25# You walk like you're in a daze... #
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Don't go out over the wake. Go, go, go!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31# Like all the good times have flown away...
0:05:40 > 0:05:44# Destructive love is all we have... #
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Just slide in, slip away from the boat.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Very good.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53# See someone you don't recognise
0:05:53 > 0:05:56# Binds that can't be untied
0:05:56 > 0:05:59# Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
0:05:59 > 0:06:02# Feelings that I can't disguise
0:06:02 > 0:06:04# And never will be reconciled
0:06:04 > 0:06:08# Oh, something inside has died... #
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Excellent, both of you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32# But you always take me back
0:06:32 > 0:06:34# And let me lick your wounds
0:06:34 > 0:06:36# Tumbling like the leaves... #
0:06:44 > 0:06:47# ..burn, baby, burn. #
0:14:09 > 0:14:13These are different fish from the last ones, Eddie.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14These will be brown trout.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18These are the business fish of Northern Ireland and Ireland.
0:14:18 > 0:14:2270% of our stock will be made up of brown trout,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24as opposed to 30 of rainbows.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I'm intrigued by this netting over our heads.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There has to be a reason for it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35There are natural predators here as well. The majority will be herons.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38He's a crafty character. You have to take every...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Try very hard to keep them out.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Without that netting, this would be a supermarket for the herons.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oh, it really would.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14These are actually the mums and the dads of the whole process.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16These are the fish we keep on the farm.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- They don't go out as stock?- No. - Right.- I'll get you a sample here.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Whoa! Oh, dear...
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Look at the size...!
0:15:29 > 0:15:33These are adult brown trout, we keep them for breeding.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Look at the size of those boys.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Later in the year, they'll produce eggs
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and they'll be ready about October, November time.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- They're kept until they die, basically?- Yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Ideally, around three or four years old for the best quality of eggs.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Lovely fish themselves.- They are.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Is there any difficulty about keeping them here?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Do you have to look after them in a particular way?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03They get special treatment.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07There will be very little work or anything done with them,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08they'll be left in peace.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11They're big fish, used to being in the wild, being active.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14They don't get stressed out in these tanks, do they?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No, they have plenty of water flowing from there
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and they have their natural feeding as well,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22then they get specialist food.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Maybe later on, when they get too big and the quality is not so good,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28we release them into of the lakes,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30give the anglers a chance to catch them.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Or the fish a chance to live?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- It depends on your perspective, doesn't it?- Exactly.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17THEY SING
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Beside the lovely valley where the band does wind its way
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Through Moneyglass and Portglenone From Wild Slieve Gallion Braes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15There's a bit of a myth about monastic silence.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Obviously we have many hours when we don't speak
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and when we're on our own.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23But communication is more important than silence.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And to learn how to speak without offending your brother,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29or speak only helpful words,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33is probably more difficult and more important than keeping silence.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40What brought the order here?
0:25:46 > 0:25:521940s, there were many vocations, in church, the monasteries.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55And the monastery in Mount Melleray, County Waterford,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00decided that they had enough monks to make a new foundation.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They heard that Portglenone House was on the market,
0:26:03 > 0:26:04and they bought it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08What appeals to you about this location in Portglenone?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13There's a famous phrase throughout history
0:26:13 > 0:26:16that the early Cistercian monks were lover of the rule and the place.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Monks tend to like the place. They don't move around,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and they get to love the place they're in.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27And Portglenone is of course a beautiful area and a very historic location.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43This was the historical ford across the Bann. This whole area.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Even up till, I think, before the Second World War,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48fishermen could stand in the middle of the river and fish,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50at certain times.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54It was dredged, I think, twice, before the First and Second World Wars.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56So now it would be impossible to stand in the river today.
