    Received the latest offerings regarding books through the post today by Darcy,In Pursuit of the Largest & Now That's What I Call Lurcherwork IV..I haven't read them from front to back as I've been on a 350 mile trip out with the dog today,but read a couple of chapters from each book now I'm sat down for the day & I've really enjoyed what I've read & seen so far..I'm known to take the micky out of JD but I will always be honest about things & what I will say is the books are well worth adding to your collection,for the money they are brilliant! Hope those that have them on order

    Having hunted for many years with JD & seeing his dog's in action all over the country & further afield too I have no doubt his new writing's will be worth a read..he puts in the hard miles season after season to work,test his own pooches plus the dog's of other like-minded enthusiastic owners who he walks out with throughout the winter month's too..he's a honest,genuine sound lad & he's one of less than a handful in this world who I would entrust with my life if it came down to that..the books will be worthy of a place on the bookshelf I'm sure of that ?

    Almost 13 year's since I joined this forum,it's great to see that topics such as this are still just as prevalent today as they were then ?..the old desert dawg's,like marmite some love em,most hate em that's just how it is ..good to see people's views regarding them especially those that have ran them..I'm not going to lie I hated them,I seen dozens run back in the mid to late 80's & 90's there wasn't a single one of them that was even bad,they were ALL utter sh##e!! Why were the ones I seen so poor? Has the genepool dramatically improved? I don't honestly know? Roll forward a quarter of

    Good to hear D..on a side note I'm the world's worst whinging ar##hole ?..even my niece's call me Uncle Grumps ?..I still have old Don here,Fenn too,Boots about finished & Bear who's had the broken neck so I spend most my time tending to them geriatrics so find time to be out hunting far less than I once did but I'm content being a 'part timer' if I'm honest these day's.. honestly I don't care whether I'm successful on a hunt nowadays or not,I just enjoy being out & seeing a few bits & bobs wherever that may be in the country ?

    I hear you loud & clear matey ?..must be some buzz parking in the farmyard is it? ?..my youngest lad has just messaged saying he done 156 miles last night for ONE run, thankfully a successful one but that's the top & bottom of things around these parts these days D,he got in the house at 4.30am & now he's off to work,jeez I'm glad I'm done with that lamping game the memories of it all are flooding back..hope your keeping well fella ?

    When Ruby had not long seen her 14th birthday we took it upon ourselves to walk the Lairig Ghru drovers path right through the heart of the Cairngorms,the path reaches a height of almost 3000ft & is surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the UK including Braeriach,Cairn Toul,Angel's Peak etc & we done it on what was the hottest day of the year,no shade & the temp was in excess of 30c,the distance covered was 23 miles,she walked the whole route in one day & in human years she would of been over a hundred year's of age..as we were walking towards the Linn of Dee in the evenin

    Thankyou,I miss my Ruby matey as I'm sure you do your Nell..life's not the same for me without her here that's for sure. I've had some great dog's over the year's & not all running dog's but Ruby was the best of the lot by a country mile..on her final day with me I wrapped her up in my shirt & travelled to some of our favourite places here in the Lake District,we parked up several times & I had the craic with her reminiscing of days long gone,I'm not gonna lie I broke my heart I did,it was our last adventure together,i took her to the vet's on the way home & had her put to slee

    I live in Cumbria..if you ain't prepared to travel 2-4 hours away you needn't keep a dog well not if you want to test it anyways,that's how it's been for 30 years now..barren of gear in the vast majority of places up here..200 mile plus nightly trips I done 4/5 nights weekly when I lived for the hours of darkness..I can never understand all this 'if only you were closer & it's too far away' sh##e,we live on a tiny island where you can go from north to south in less than a day in a car ?

    I'll be up thy way next week with the mongrel if you fancy a wander oot ? ..just be a relaxing not too energetic hike 'hopefully' ?..glad your keeping ok fella,might look out for you in the next Tour of Britain then eh ?

    This dog is a real un Ant,honestly in the daytime it very rarely misses..fellas had dog's all his life & he's no spring chicken said it's the best he's had by a country mile..it's really highly regarded up this way,I'm sure there'll be a good few amongst them pups equally if not better if they get the chance to fully express themselves in the field ?
  17. FUJI
    This is Duchess brother out of Boots x Fenn and there's at least one there pretty much identical to him ?

    Had a tough day out in the mountains yesterday,weather was kind if nothing else & that's a bonus for sure! I'm sure age has a hell of a lot to do with how difficult I'm finding walking in & amongst the high tops these day's..I'm not going to lie it's becoming nigh on f###ing impossible for me to enjoy a days mooching about up there ?.. anyways,it turned out not too bad in the end,what I have realised & i have to admit I had a tear in my eye is that Boots is all but finished now,he has recently seen his 9th birthday & like a good friend of mine told me yesterday if a dog at 9 ye

    Lightforce lamps have the worst wiring & switches I've ever known of on any lamps,why they put poor quality wiring & cheap switches on what are decent lamps is beyond me?..there's way better lamps out there then any Lightforce lamps these days for only a fraction of the price,superior wiring,switches & better beam too ?

    I find the Cocker a hyper ba###rd bud ?.. sensible but can it feck stand or sit still for more than one second..got an old motorhome Dodge,it's real clean & tidy,if I'm going anywhere far away I'll set off a day early,the only thing I've ever overtaken in it was some fat old geezer on a pushbike ?
