Derek is on a mission to find his best west Walian walks - he has 17 years' worth to choose from!

For his first flashback, Derek is in Cardigan Bay, where he discovers the legend of Cantre’r Gwaelod at Sarn Cynfelyna. Derek also has a go at stand-up paddle-boarding, before finishing at the university town of Aberystwyth.

On his second walk, Derek travels to Ceredigion, walking from Bwlch yr Arian, where he feeds red kites, to Devil’s Bridge, famed for its three stacked bridges. On the way, he discovers the silver and lead mining history of the area.

Finally, Derek follows the course of the River Teifi between Cenarth and Cilgerran, where he learns to steer a coracle, the area’s ancient form of fishing boat, and takes part in the annual coracle races.
