Unfortunately, Derek's book was in competition with @RoryStewartUK best-selling book, "Politics on the Edge" ! No shame in coming second to what is an excellent book. 2/2

Delighted to hand over a cheque for £12,750 last month to to the LDSAMRA at Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team’s Gosforth base. Mountain Rescue has a number of projects to fund, and we're happy for our donation to be used in whatever way will best meet MR’s operational requirements.

All book profits will be donated to Mountain Rescue Cumbria. Not only is the book a great read but you’ll also be supporting a great organisation who rely on public donations to support their life saving work.
