List of episodes

S1E2 - Episode 2

Elis and Miles plan to climb Snowdon, but first Elis has a treat for Miles - a trip on a new coaster ride through theforest near Betws-y-coed. Then Elis needs to shop for some suitable clothing before he can tackle England and Wales' tallest mountain, which severely tests the patience of Miles. On the day of the climb, Elis and Miles take the early morning staff train for a misty journey up the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The two comedians are left at Clogwyn station, about two-thirds of the way up, before walking the rest of the route. Shrouded in eerie mist they bravely push on to the summit, the tea bar and gift shop.

S1E3 - Episode 3

Elis takes Miles to Swansea Bay, starting in the shadow of the Port Talbot steel works at the Tata Steel Sailing Club, where they get a crash course in dinghy handling from their instructor Chloe. As Port Talbot can claim to be the hometown of three great Hollywood actors - Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins and Michael Sheen - they take a trip to Pontrhydyfen, Burton's birthplace, and they visit the old Plaza cinema, the childhood haunt of all three Port Talbot Hollywood greats.

Swansea is the focus of the next day, including a nostalgic trip to Swansea City's old Vetch ground for football-mad Elis, and for cricket-nut Miles a visit to St Helen's, the ground where Gary Sobers famously hit six sixes off one over back in 1968. Their trip ends in the seaside town of Mumbles, from where they can see their starting point Port Talbot on the opposite side of the horseshoe-shaped Swansea Bay.

S1E4 - Episode 4

Carmarthen is the starting point as Elis and Miles board the good ship Carolina and sail from the town centre down the Towy River and out to sea. Their destination is Laugharne, famous for its association with Dylan Thomas. After a visit to the Dylan Thomas boathouse and his tiny writing shed, they retire to the bar of Brown's Hotel, where Elis comes up with a brand new TV format. The following day they head to Pendine, where many land speed records were set during the 1920s and 30s. Later, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, the two travellers try out camping for the night in a nearby holiday park, then set off the next day for another river trip - this time up the Cleddau River towards the tiny hamlet of Coedcanlas, to meet beekeeper Nick Tonkin and his family.
