Went to watch the mad bad and dangerous to know tour an evening with Ranulph Fiennes last night at the Buxton Opera house . Really really enjoyed this . His drive minerals balls get up and go or call it what you will is next level. I’ve read a couple of his books. Honestly found him a really interesting captivating fella . Well worth a watch if it’s near you .

My favourite book was rogues and running dogs ! Now am sure we have all met a Billy Robbins or suchlike in our travels in the dog world. I've met all sorts of unsavoury characters good and bad over the years. But a few would of been deffo straight out of a Plummer book lol. One was a old retired wrestler who kept deerhound crosses. But made his money on tv from wrestling in the big daddy era. Now when I met him he was a old fella. Lived in an old delapadeted railway cottage with a bit of land and belive it or not it had a proper swimming pool in the garden but now empty and broke and from a t

Sadly I haven't been up for a good few years now. The last time I went we went island hopping off Orkneys. I took my old collie grey who I still have today but is 17 years old and on his last legs. I have given up the running dogs now. My only hunting is mooching with a catty for a few woodys or longtails or what ever. But that poaching blood never leaves you, that naughtness, that adrenaline is still there I always think. Some pics of my last trip when my dog was still able do a bit.

The second thing that the books had me hooked on was Scotland. It sounded like a hunters paradise, the land of milk and honey and rabbits and deer ! I first got took up by one of the older mentors in the game. First night up there my bitch had 23 rabbits from 27 runs ! Nothing by today's standards, but when your ferreting waste land and tips and red letter day was 3 rabbits back then, them 23 was big numbers to me back then. So obviously no internet or Google or mobile phones back then. So I wrote to the Scottish tourist board and got sent back a list of cottages for hire. I literally picked

Plummer and his books drew me to 2 things, the first was collie greyhounds and the second was Scotland. From the moment I'd read all the books I dreamed of a blue mere half cross. But back then I couldn't afford Hancocks prices and was far to eager to wait for a litter to be bred. So I scanned shooting news and found a litter of 3/4 breds out of a Richard Jones sired half cross put to a greyhound. Sadly there was no show stopping blue merles or any merle in fact just one small runt of the litter left a little back and white bitch. Now she wasn't my first lurcher but she was my first real lurc

A Plummer lurcher Brian gifted to my friend , I had the pleasure to watch work . I good nose on it and a good steady ferreting dog and generally a nice natured mutt. Also in one of his books he put a pic up of the last place in Scotland were a wolf was killed. Many moons later I was up there on my annual pilgrimage up there rabbiting for a week and took a pic of it. Still in my old photo albums now

For me growing up , I loved the books. As boson said took me to a place in the countryside I wanted to be. To meet the rogues and hear there storys and see there dogs. They deffo helped me fall in love with running dogs . Funny thing is and I've told this story before. An old mate of mine was a good friend of Brian's,. So I ad the opportunity to go and stay with him for a week. He was in Caithness at this point. But wouldn't let me take my beloved pride of joy my 3/4 collie grey up there with me ( which was bought I may add off the back of his books lol ) so me being a stubborn tear away and
