Description
Coal miner, soldier, TV engineer, sailor, property developer, boatbuilder, scallop diver, yacht charter skipper, village pantomime star - Dave Rockley has led a full life. He has also lived through some hair-raising episodes, from pitfalls underground to surviving crocodiles and poisonous centipedes while on active service in the Malayan jungle, and nearly drowning in a diving mishap 80 feet under the cold Scottish ocean. In his late seventies, he climbed a hundred-foot pine tree to cut the top part down single-handed. Having heard some of his stories, his friends encouraged him to write them down while he still could. This book is the result.
