00:02 Wales, a country in the southwest of Britain,

00:05 with its rugged mountain ranges.

00:07 - Beautiful.

00:08 - Wealth of natural resources.

00:11 - Look at that.

00:12 - Rich in historical past.

00:14 - Yeah, this is actually a Roman road.

00:16 - Is it really?

00:16 - I am Spartacus.

00:18 - No, I am.

00:19 - No, I am.

00:20 - Oh.

00:21 - And strong Celtic identity.

00:23 - Hey Blake, sit my a tail.

00:25 - My burgal.

00:26 - On do he.

00:27 - On do he.

00:28 - In this series, we discover the hidden corners of Britain

00:31 with author of Lost Lanes, Jack Thurston.

00:34 Morning Jack.

00:38 - Morning Blake.

00:38 - How's it going?

00:39 - Oh, it's fantastic, isn't it?

00:40 Look at this.

00:41 - Yeah, look at this.

00:42 Where are we?

00:43 - So we are in the Brecon Beacons.

00:44 - Jack's agreed to take me on one of his favorite

00:46 local routes in Wales.

00:48 - We're gonna follow that river from its source

00:50 to when it enters the sea.

00:52 - I'm ready for it.

00:53 As an ex-pro free ride mountain biker,

00:56 slow cycling is alien to me, to say the least.

01:00 - This is where we drop onto the drops

01:01 and like go really fast.

01:02 Tour de France, Tour de Wales.

01:05 Look at that, free ride.

01:07 - I heard you got some bad jumps.

01:08 - Jumps running good.

01:14 Me on this, not so good.

01:17 We're going with the flow.

01:18 - Guess that's gonna be super chill, right?

01:20 - Super chill.

01:22 Cruising along empty roads.

01:26 - Canal over a river.

01:28 - Yeah.

01:28 - Doesn't happen very often.

01:29 - Surrounded by landscape like this.

01:32 - Oh, it's beautiful.

01:33 See if I can catch up Blake.

01:35 That was steep.

01:38 - Jack's trying to convince me that taking it easy

01:41 is the only way to enjoy the ride.

01:44 - Oh, what a beautiful Welsh morning.

01:46 - Feels like a real journey, doesn't it?

01:49 - It does.

01:50 - Look at that thing.

01:52 Long live bikes, long live bikes.

01:54 - I'm gonna go find more lost lanes

01:56 just like this all the time.

01:57 - I'm in a cocoon right now, dude.

02:00 Night Jack.

02:01 - Sleep well.

02:02 - Slow, who would have thought?

02:04 - Hm.

02:05 (upbeat music)

02:08 (whooshing)

02:11 (dramatic music)
