The Best Of: 4. Surprises of the South
Derek the weatherman reflects on some of his favourite walks from south Wales. In the Vale of Glamorgan, Derek is joined by Olympian Colin Jackson, and together they explore a five-mile coastal route that has it all - dinosaur footprints, World War II gun battery remains, the site of a major communication breakthrough and an iconic Victorian pier. \n\nIn his second hand-picked wander, Derek walks from Port Talbot to Swansea and discovers a walk full of contrasts. Amongst the heavy industrial landscape lie some surprising pockets of nature and a bustling marina. Derek also tries his hand at the helm of a luxury boat and narrowly avoids crashing into the harbour wall.\n\nFinally, Derek revisits Usk, where he comes across something unexpected - an airfield. Home of the South Wales Gliding Club, which has been in operation for 60 years, Derek joins them for a weather briefing before taking to the skies himself, where he witnesses amazing views of Usk and the Bristol Channel.\n
