You're watching Vagabrothers.
We're in Wales, and this is the world's
fastest Zipline.
Let's go. 3-2-1
We are going to switch to Go Pro,
and we're going to get in the ocean.
Let's go.
What's up Vagabuddies?
And welcome back. This is the first
episode in a five-part series about
one of the most fascinating corners
of the United Kingdom, Wales.
We're here with Visit Britain, and for
the next week we're going to be exploring
what makes Wales so unique...
from its ancient culture and languages,
to legendary castles, the myths of
King Arthur, and of course, doing what
we do best....finding great restaurants,
drinking good beer, and exploring
amazing places.
You guys ready? Let's do it.
Alright, guys. Welcome to Wales.
We just got here, and I'm super
stoked for the next week because Wales
is the one part of the U.K. that we really
haven't explored that much.
We've been to England; we've been to
Scotland, but this the final puzzle piece.
Also, you guys have been asking for us to
make a Wales series. So........
you asked; we're answering.
We're super excited. We've been doing
a little bit of research, but honestly,
we don't know too much about Wales.
We know they have an ancient culture
and an ancient language that is not
related to English.
We've also heard them compared to the
the Basques....of the U.K. because they
are very distinct from their neighbors,
and that's what's really fascinating to us.
We don't know where to start,
so we started off by coming here on
Saint David's Day, which is the national
day of Wales, and we're in St. Davids;
he's the patron saint of this nation.
St David was a saint who was born here
1500 years ago
in this area, and today's the
anniversary of his death.
You can say that St Patrick is to Ireland
as St David is to Wales.
He's also associated with some Welsh
symbols like the leek and the daffodil,
right here. So hopefully, we'll go see
some of the ceremonies and learn a bit
more about what it means to be Welsh.
We're walking down the Pembrokeshire Coast.
This is one of the most famous walking
areas of the U.K.
There're beautiful, coastal pathways
throughout here, and this walk, I believe,
is in honor of the pilgrimage of St David
because it's a holy site.
Back in the day, they said
the two pilgrimages here
were worth one to Rome.
Two for one deal.
Rome is more holy and farther away,
but this place is beautiful and had
special significance in
medieval England and Wales.
All right guys. We just got to
Saint Non's Chapel, and it looks
like there is a religious ceremony
going down here.
There're some people dressed up,
and looks like everybody is reciting stuff.
We'll be quiet and respectful,
but we'll try to capture it for you guys.
We just rolled up on all these people
in the middle of the ceremony.
Perfect timing. Perfect timing.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
Now everyone's walking back into town.
The bishop is at the front of the
procession, and everyone's got these
daffodils in their lapels.
Daffodils are in full bloom right now.
It's a symbol of Wales,
along with the leek, which St David
supposedly ate when he was fasting and
the dragon, which is on the Welsh flag.
The Welsh flag, which has the dragon
on it, is actually the Tudor family flag.
The Tudors went on to become kings
and queens of England.
For a national festival,
this has to be one of the quietest,
most mellow festivals I have ever been to.
Definitely different from the United States.
Not like the 4th of July.
Not like the 4th of July at all.
Now we're heading back into town.
Everyone is singing traditional songs.
We're going to this rock
where apparently at noon,
once a year, the sun shines through
the rock. It's aligned perfectly for
this day, but that
means we have to have some sun.
That was super interesting.
I think that was cool to see St David
Day on St David's.....
you mean.. I mean...it was
cool to see St David on St David's Day.
Definitely. Not a huge ceremony,
but definitely a rare one
and a really unique experience.
Even though that was a religious
ceremony, it was one that was imbued
with lots of national pride.
And I think that
that was really a nice way to ease into
Wales and to get our bearings.
Now that we do have our bearings,
we're going to ratchet it up.
It's time to get into the ocean,
and we're going to do it in the most
dramatic way possible.....
jumping off of cliffs. You ready?
Let's do it. Let's go.
All right guys. We have just arrived to
TYF Adventures
and they're going to take us coasteering.
It just started to rain.
What better way to get wet than by
jumping in the Atlantic Ocean,
which is a warm and inviting 7 degrees
celsius right now.
My name is John Bayrom.
I'm head of Adventure at TYF
and we're going to go out coasteering.
It all started here 30 years ago at
St Davids.
When the surf was flat, you'd have to find
something to do, so guys would just go
along and find some amazing areas of
the coastline. You'd scramble along,
find something to jump off. We came
up with the idea..oh that's fantastic,
and turned it into a commercial activity.
We may look like Monty Python,
but we are not.
Well maybe we are in spirit.
We are here on the edge of the coast,
and what is going to happen right now?
We're going to head just five minute's
walk over there,
and we're going to do some scrambling
along the rocks, find some waves to play
in and do some jumps.
This is the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
It's 186 miles long.
It's beautiful. This place is famous for
walking paths.
You can consider what we're doing.....
walking with a bit more of an extreme
edge to it.
We just got out of the ocean,
and we're going to warm up with a pint
because here in the U.K., the pints are
room temperature, so it should be a
nice drink to have right now.
Every time we travel to the U.K.,
I always love the first pint.
it's like... the first pint is the greatest.
Little Cat Stevens remix there?
Here's to a great trip, Brother.
May we have an awesome trip through
Wales, starting off with a Welsh ale.
Some people have commented that
we are at our best in the British Isles.
I think that's because we feel very
comfortable here.
We have Irish, Scottish, English ancestry.
We don't think that we are Welsh.
What I like about this place is that it
feels a nice balance of familiar and foreign.
It's British, but it's a part of Britain we've
never been to.
We know that this is a country with
huge heritage, tons to discover, and
this is only the first day.
I say, "Cheers."
Cheers, Wales. "Lechyd da."
"Lechyd da."

Tomorrow we are going to explore the
history and heritage of Wales, so stay

the road. Peace.
