Just down the road ,a good camp site at Boot,open in the winter..and a walk to the "Old Prussian Arms " George Hotel..

A good hunt up an over to Wass water that day,fox went straight to where Mr Porter said it would go ..could see the whole hunt from nigh on start to finish from the vantage point I was told to go to ..Great days back then,even got a Bollocking off Barry Todhunter one time for My Dog "screaming" at a Borran the hounds were marking .he explained later catching up hounds the next day. That he was trying to listen,said it was alright no harm done .. I Was a wee bit Quiet on the way down off the Fell. l.o.l. Top bloke tho !Everyone I met in the Fells always made you Feel Welcome...

It's a good book, well researched but with some inaccuracies about those that were unable to answer for themselves. Some of the fellas from the lakes just told Plummer what he wanted to hear. The introduction and chapters before he gets onto the profiles is probably the best part of the book.

A lot gets said against Plummer,but as I said,for me,it's one of my favorites.He touched on a lot of fellows from a long time back,that had a huge play in developing these dogs,as well some of the dogs and places as well.

One of those books that you will find hard to put down when youre housebound,dogs laid up etc.
