by Harriet Bleasdale
THE august surroundings of the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment’s military museum at Fulwood Bar racks, Preston, was the venue for the launch of the latest book from the pen of local angling author and BBC radio presenter Martin James.:; The release date of the book, enti
tled “At the Water’s Edge”, coincided with the author’s 73rd birthday, also Martin is making a donation from every book sold to ABF The soldier’s Charity (formally known as the Army Benevolent Fund). Surrounded by memorabilia from
over 200 years of military history, 150 invited guests were welcomed by Lt Col Philip Aindow MBE .TD, who commended Martin on all the work he does raising money to support The ABF. Following a short film about the
work of the charity Lt Col Aindow in troduced the publisher Pat O’Reilly MBE who started off by compliment ing Martin on what he believed to be the “Angling Book of the Year”. This was followed by speeches
from international freelance photog rapher and writer Will Carter, some of whose photographs appear in the book, PC Mark Hyde and Colour . Sgt Tam Miller spoke about the help

is a success. Col Sgt Tam Miller intro-
- duced Martin who thanked everyone for attending the event, many having
travelled from all over the UK, Eu rope and the Middle East. He acknowledged the attendance
of angling superstar Len Arbery, win ner of the Drennan Cup, the angling equivalent of The Open Champion ship or a Wimbledon title, who trav-
■ elled with his wife June from Berk-’ shire. .■
■. . . .. .. . . .. . Martin thanked Patriek Antaki
from the United Arab Emirates who attended the event, also one of the UK’s premier lady anglers Sue O’Reilly.
. Also in attendance was the head of
BBC Radio Lancashire, John Clay ton. Martin also presented a limited edition fly reel to Andy Bleasdale for his support and hard work ensuring the whole book project ran smoothly andon time. Martin.has achieved so much in
his life despite being an MS sufferer from the age of 40, and a diabetic. His first book “Up Against It” covered his struggle to be a “normal” angler. His life has touched many people and his charity work has helped many others; he has rightfully earned the recogni tion of his peers in the angling world.

covered slopes,' and taking a soul-de stroying slog across “mobile” scree, the party arrived at the foot of the climb beneath the slender arete of Eden Buttress and decided to take a late lunch. Looking upwards at the four pitches of the route and down at the length and complexity of the return path to Betws Garmon, it was decided that there weren’t sufficient hours to climb the route and get back to the centre at a reasonable time, so the decision was taken to continue downwards into Qvm Du to take a track through the forest of Tros-y-gol back to the village, leaving the chal lenge for the club.’s next visit. Meanwhile, the rest of the party
had reached the mountain’s summit, some returning via the outward route and others continuing over Craig-y- Bera to descend to the valley. The club’s annual general meet
