The bard Ifor ap Glyn travels Wales attempting to do 'Popeth yn Gymraeg' (Everything in Welsh).

400 years ago, Rhys Cain, a traveling bard, earned £23 as a troubadour, visiting the estates of aristocrats in north east Wales. But how much money will Ifor, himself a poet, manage to earn when following in his footsteps today?
His journey tonight begins in the Vale of Clwyd, and continues through Bryncuallt, Allrhe and Bwrras and on to Wrexham, Brynteg and Caerwys. His journey ends over the border in Oswestry - but how much Welsh will be found there, and how will Ifor fare with this latest challenge?
