Books, Manuscripts
Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog. In 'The Search', Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels. It's up to Scout to keep an eye on him as Paul tries to build the best life he can.
