Copa — Patagonia Eric Jones ac Ioan Doyle

To coincide with the 150th anniversary celebrations surrounding the establishment of ‘Y Wladfa’, the Welsh settlement in Patagonia, this programme celebrates the friendship of two men, two countries and one journey, a testament to the fascinating life of world renowned climber Eric Jones. Eric shares his stories and memories with young climber Ioan Doyle, whilst on an unforgettable journey along the spine of the Andes in Patagonia. We see Eric and Ioan spend some time with the local community in Esquel, before they set off to the desert of Piedra Parada, to face the biggest challenge of their journey, climbing a large tower know locally as ‘The Hand’.
