Derek begins his journey in his home town at Barry Docks train station. His walk follows an eight- mile route along the coast, ending at Rhoose Point - the most southerly point of mainland Wales. On the way, historian Andy Hinton guides him past Nell’s point - which used to be a Butlins holiday camp in the 60s. The area also boasts a fine promenade and a large beach - a popular spot for visitors as a result of the romantic comedy-drama, Gavin and Stacey. For the last lap of the walk, he’s accompanied by Rob Pritchard, head warden at Porthkerry Country Park, who shows Derek the secret spot where adders are monitored. For the second six-mile walk, the weatherman starts at the New York cottages in the quarrying town of Penmaenmawr ending in the small village of Rowen. The path follows the route that local quarrymen used to use to travel to work, named after Huw Tom Edwards - the writer and trade unionist who started his career as a quarryman and became known as Wales’ “unofficial” Prime Minister.

But a potentially career-ending injury - he had the tips of three fingers chopped off when he was caught in machinery at the toy factory where he worked - threatened to shatter the teenager’s dreams. Winstone fought a long and gruelling battle back to fitness, and was rewarded by winning Wales’s only gold medal at the British Empire Games, held in Cardiff in 1958. Married with children, he turned professional to feed his family, and soon collected the British and European featherweight titles. But the world title he so badly wanted was proving elusive - until he faced Japan’s Mitsunori Seki in 1968. Though his fortunes were mixed following this high, Welsh Greats reveals exactly why Howard Winstone, who died in 2000 aged 61, was voted Merthyr Tydfil’s greatest citizen. Jenny Walford 3 4 RHYS TO THE RESCUE Wednesday, January 25, BBC One Wales, 7.30pm From the crawly and the scaly, to the furry and the unknown, Dr Rhys Jones is on hand to help save and change our perception of wild animals in Wales. When Welsh wildlife gets into trouble, it’s often humans who are to blame, but nature can be just as brutal and the weather can also be a factor. In the second episode of Rhys to the Rescue two tawny owl chicks are discovered on the ground in the middle of a wood in Cwmbran - nowhere near their original home. But had they been distressed and disorientated in the storm or taken and abandoned by humans? His next call is in Caerleon to visit a grass snake - a common reptile in Wales - before travelling to Bridgend to save a rare Manx shearwater, and attempt to release her into the sea at Southerndown.

Mae pawb yn galaru dros eu hen ffrind ac mae pawb yn ceisio dygymod â’u colled. Rhaid i Nansi wynebu ei galar ar ei phen ei hun ac er iddi geisio trefnu pethau Denzil, sylweddola cyn lleied yr oedd yn ei adnabod. Tra’i bod hi’n amhosib i Sioned dderbyn y ffaith na chaiff hi fyth y cyfle i gymodi â’i thad, rhaid iddi hithau hefyd ddechrau ymdopi â bywyd hebddo. A fydd Eileen yn cynnig cefnogaeth iddi? Wrth i Meic baratoi i siarad yn yr angladd, mae’n falch o groesawu wyneb cyfarwydd nôl i’w mysg. Ond sut groeso sydd i un arall o orffennol Denzil? Cwmderi is sombre this week as the villagers prepare to say farewell to Denzil. Everyone is mourning the loss of a dear friend and each finds their own way of coping. Nansi must face her grief alone and, as she organises Denzil’s affairs, she realises how little she actually knew him. While it’s impossible for Sioned to accept the fact that her relationship with her father will never be reconciled, she must begin to figure out how to cope without him. Will Eileen offer her a shoulder to cry on? Feeling the emotion getting to him as he prepares a eulogy, Meic is pleased to welcome a familiar face to the funeral. But the same cannot be said of another from Denzil’s past. Meleri Thomas 6 .

Over time, Martin’s desperation for sleep has led him to becoming utterly dependent on sleeping tablets - only supposed to be used short term.

WEATHERMAN WALKING Monday, January 16, BBC One Wales, 7.30pm bbc.co.uk/weathermanwalking 2 This week we see forecaster Derek Brockway take two fascinating walks on long distance paths in Weatherman Walking - along one of the best sections of the Pembrokeshire coastal path, and then following a little explored stretch of the Offa's Dyke path through the Welsh marches. Singer, actor, television and radio presenter Gwenno Dafydd takes Derek to the rugged coastline of north Pembrokeshire. With an array of beautiful beaches and wonderful views, they begin at Trefin and end their 10 ½ mile walk at Pwll Deri youth hostel. The weatherman then heads for a hike on the Dyke, beginning in the hamlet of Churchtown. Writer and photographer Jim Saunders guides Derek along the eight mile route - following the Dyke as it criss-crosses the border between England and Wales.

    BCR 19 Y Pwyllgor Cymunedau, Cydraddoldeb a Llywodraeth Leol Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee Ymchwiliad i’r Adolygiad o Siarter y BBC Inquiry into the BBC Charter Review Ymateb gan: Julian Ruck Response from: Julian Ruck Introduction My submission wishes to concentrate on BBC Wales and S4C, however by way of introduction the following should be noted: The BBC uses its mission and core values of impartiality and independence to demand money without having to acknowledge the public’s desires and complaints. If it was a private company, its shareholders could force out the Board. If it was a government body, the public could have their say every 5 years. Being neither, we are asked to put up with the BBC helping itself to 3.7 billion of our hard earned cash, prosecuting over 200,000 of our peers and indirectly sending between 30 and 50 people to jail, for about 20 days each no less, every year: http://lettersfromwalesuncut.com/2015/08/22/why-the-bbc-should-be- subjected-to-serious-reform/ by Caroline Levesque – Legal Editor, Reuters Some facts: S4C has received £2.2bn of taxpayers’ money since 1982. It enjoys less than 1% of the viewing audience and for some of its programmes this is zero. BBC Radio Cymru receives £13m pa and BBC Radio Cornwall £1.3m – both stations have the same audience numbers. NB A couple of weeks ago Radio Cymru’s audience figures dropped to their lowest level ever (119,000 listeners per week), according to respected Radio Joint Audience Research (16.5.13).

The 38th (Welsh) Division at the Battle of Mametz Wood, July 1916 I do not think that there is any Division which fought under my command in France which cannot point to at least one occasion when its actions reached the highest level of soldierly achievement. Those who read … this book may find several occasions, but two come immediately to my mind. The one is the attack north of Ypres on the 31st July, 1917, when the 38th (Welsh) division met and broke to pieces a German Guard Division.
