Hello, Breaking National Park News. The Brecken Beacon's National Park is ditching the Beacons.

For a combination of, it doesn't sound very environmentally sustainable if you're named after

burning something. And also a little bit of kind of historical revisionism about,

was there ever any beacons there at all. Now, the person I want to know to react to this

and give me a bit more information about it all is. Newscasts, favourite Welsh newsreader,

the Ever-Cheerful Hugh Edwards. So we asked him to provide a voice note.

Hi Adam, it's Hugh and what an honour to be back on newscast.

Anyway, you wanted to ask about Banai Brachenioge. Yes, that's right, not the Brecken Beacons,

but Banai Brachenioge, which means the peaks of Brecken, ban in Welsh being a peak or a summit.

And I've always known that mountain range as Banai Brachenioge, not the Brecken Beacons.

And by the way, if you ever go walking in the lovely Banai Brachenioge, you're going to be heading

for a summit called Penervan, not Penervan, as all of my English friends seem to think it is,

Penervan, which means by the way, the top of the summit. You see, it all makes sense even on

newscast. Thank you. Thank you very much Hugh, and it did actually sound like he was on a hike

while he was recording that. And also Hugh, just to let you know, I have been to the foothills of

Penervan when I was making a radio for documentary a few years ago, and very pleasant it was too.

And I'm just looking over at my colleagues, some of whom are actually Welsh, to see if I said that

in any way correctly. Did I? Oh, they're nodding. Right. Anyway, I think that's just strike what they

are in heart and get off this episode of newscast. Newscast. Newscast from the BBC.

He got trounced by the former Prime Minister who herself got beaten by a letter.

At least I didn't slap anybody, which is good. Rean economy. La blabla blabla.
