His show was far too short to be honest,even with bear Grylls doing a Q&A it was only about 90 minutes?He is a raconteur par excellence,been seen and done the T-shirt.I am at a Les Stroud function next week that’s 3 hours,Ranulph Fiennes could easily fill three hours and more.

I must admit it was short and I felt there was a whole boat load of interesting stories to be told. I also went to an evening with Ant Middleton here as well and enjoyed that too. Back in the 90,s me and a mate got tickets to see an evening with Plummer at a working men's club in Wrexham . But at the last minute he got ill and cancelled so Gary Hosker was his stand inn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Book direct now As he was coming on stage it showed some footage on screen behind him. A bit was of him training and he was marching up a heather hill at a fair old pace with 2 car tyres behind him on chains. And he looked well in his late 60s in the clip !!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a few old pics myself of my old collie bitch up mallam. I used to love it up there, love the scenery, all the rocks and limestone slabs, looked like a moonscape in places if ya get my drift. I may go back and wild camp it, bit of nolstalga maybe. Edited September 15, 2023 by Leo Sayer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
