SpecimanYak - I found it on ni-libraries too....hoping to pick it up in Belfast; quick query on the wee pic you attached - is it available to buy per what I saw there?

It's not available to buy from the library, it's the retail price of the book and how much it would cost to replace if the book was lost, but with the SELB numbers and ebay/Amazon something might turn up.

Haha, his album title "I'll take him camping, Friday" sounds like a threat.

Hi Hud,
I bought a book from Tescomos about folklore and leg ends from the North. The storyteller was from the Annalong direction and basically wrote the book from stories he was told when he was a nipper. Can't remember the title, but as Anna said it was near the map section and cost around 7 to 8 quid.
Enjoy..

Did you ever get the book Hud? I managed to pick myself up a copy this week from ebay

hud · « **Reply #28 on:** April 21, 2013 »

Hey Liam; yes amazon came good and got a perfectly fine second hand copy! It was actually for a good friend of mine, the book. Every time we were up the hills with a young group he would start with the stories from it; a fellow mountain leader had it and he was hooked. He had said he'd searched for it high and low so thought it'd be a nice wee gift if I could get it. He was made up when he opened it!!!
