dytkos 17,818 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 agree with above post another cracking book. Has anyone else read "The Sett" a novel based on true characters by Ranulph Fiennes? Cheers, D. Yes mate, I have it here. Certainly some of it is true, I knew one of it's characters quite well but it paints a very dark picture of terriermen. As the book moves off this subject I enjoyed the read more. Yes me too mate if your talking about PB. Some of it I KNOW is ballocks but your right about the book. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
