Thanks for the report DGC I wish I could have made it and I'm yet to get the book.

There is a bit more here-

VFC - anything Deakin-esque is fine with me as of course there can sadly never be any more of the real thing.

I also agree with taking the kids out for night time walks once they get above a certain age and can actually listen it's magical. We camp as much as we can and were kept awake one night last year by the singing of a nitghtingale not far from our tent, a memory I will hold for ever.

My signed copy came this morning. :thumb:

OOOOhhhh that means mine might of come too, i'm sure i'll know when the missus gets home :notlisterning: :chuckle:

Very nice Mark.... :thumb:

And a great account dgc. I think I'm going to like this book, especially as I love BB's non-fishing work.

As if by magic, just received the following, if anyone is within 'radio earshot'

STOP PRESS – LATEST NEWS

Saturday 9th June, 9.15 a.m. – listen to a live telephone interview with Chris Yates on local radio (in Devon), Heart 96.2 and 97.3.

I'll try tuning my DAB thingey as I head down the M6 towards Lechlade.

Thanks colonel, alarm set!

I shall also be travelling to Lechlade to the TFF meeting so will miss it. No DAB thingey in my car just FM.

Since I recieved this book I have read it over and over again.

As many of you know I have not been very well and this book has made me smile when I really needed something to smile about.

Well done Chris on a brilliant little book that many pertetual Night Fisherman will have sympathy with, but how come he never went down a Rabbit hole and/or twisted his ankle like so many of us who wander about in the dark do ?

Perhaps he did Bob, but he has to keep something back for the next book...

SK,
You could be right, but he started the book in 1971, I'm sure he must have a few stories about trips to the local A&E
