    Bird's mum got her that and Ray Mears one for me. I'd be interested to flick through a book about how to survive in the wild but I've absolutely no interest in how many brothers and sisters he's got and where he went to school. Charity shop beckons.

    I got another one form my sister on New years day - Walk the lines by Mark Mason. Basically he walked the route of every line on the London underground. It's bizarely absorbing.
