As Freddy, Phil and Don enjoy the peace of their weekly walks in the Peak District, 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?

We meet Freddy, Phil and Don - the hilarious, yet deep thinking, tales of three retired men determined to keep hiking 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.

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 him

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.

Truly Indestructible
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This Is the first "indestructible" dog toy that really lives up to the claim. My dog is a power chewing destroyer of all things that squeak but after 1 month there's still not one piece of ball missing and it's still squeaking!! It is his prized possession. I've told all of my dog agility friends about it. Well worth the price.

Perfect for large breeds, long lasting.
Color: Blue
Great ball, stands up to large breed chewers. We have had it a month now, and it still looks like the day we purchased and still squeaks. Great for playing fetch.

Durable and fun!
Color: Orange
This ball is perfect! I have a two year old Rottweiler and she loves it! It’s hard, and durable, has a texture to it so she can do all the things. She hasn’t put it down!!

Awesome ball, squeaker didn't survive long :)
Color: Orange
I have an obsessed power chewer that loves balls.... durability is excellent!!!! Squeaker didn't last as long as I hoped but stayed inside the ball so overall safety works for me.
