The Hike
and every damn thing else!
Stephen Halliday
Once more we meet Freddy, Phil and Don – the
hilarious, yet deep thinking, tales of three retired
men determined to keep hiling to the bitter end in
their beloved Peak District – but each for very
different reasons...
Phil – a former air-traffic controller and the
group’s self-appointed leader – is on
a mission not to grow old. He believes his combination
of obsessive physical exercise and the latest health
supplements will hold back time.
His constant sparring partner is Freddy – a
shambolic slacker who prefers to stroll and smell
the flowers. Freddy’s eternal mission is to
find the meaning of life. Until he does, he takes
consolation in outmanoeurvring the vulgar, aspirational
world around hims with his very own art of ‘onedownmanship’.
Thankfully they have Don to calm the waters. All Don
asks for in return is some peace, tranquility and
perhaps a decent pint when they reach their destination.
What all three share is a withering view of the modern
world – a place resounding to the noise of traffic
jams and mobile phones. And as they enjoy the peace
of their weekly walks, weathering all that the elements
and local characters can throw at them, they waste
no time in setting that world to rights.
Why not join them?
