North Walian Wanders

Weather duo Derek Brockway and Sian Lloyd pedal around Lake Vyrnwy and learn about the village that was flooded to make way for the reservoir which still supplies Liverpool with water.

Derek Brockway scours the archives for another three walks from around Wales.

In Powys, he is cycling around the beautiful Lake Vyrnwy with fellow weather presenter Sian Lloyd. They learn about the village that was flooded to make way for the reservoir which still supplies Liverpool with water, and marvel at the famous dam, a Victorian engineering feat.

For his second walk, Derek is in Eryri National Park to walk a section of the Slate Trail, created to promote the former slate-mining communities in the area. The route takes him from Capel Curig, where he has a go at rock climbing, via the stunning Swallow Falls, to picturesque Betws-y-Coed, where he is given a lesson in charcoal drawing.

For his final walk, Derek takes a hike with a difference - his partners are a pair of llamas! Together they explore the beautiful Berwyn Mountains in north east Wales.
