Derek gets some northern nostalgia as he remembers three of his best walks in north Wales. \n\nCadair Idris is a mountain steeped in legend and mythology - it's also one of Wales's most spectacular summits. Derek climbs to three peaks in this range and even braves an icy cold dip in its glacial lake, where the temperature, quite literally, takes his breath away.\n\nThe second walk Derek recalls is from the Italianate village of Portmeirion, where he also discovers Y Gwyllt - ‘the wild’ headland beyond. \n\nFinally, Derek walks the Dee Valley Way, a stunning 13-mile route which takes him from the pretty town of Corwen to its larger and more bustling neighbour, Llangollen. On the walk, he learns of a warrior prince and leads a horse-drawn barge along the Llangollen canal.
