Yeti, a male 28 years old, is seeking a partner. During the festive seasons, you can spot him roaming around Ben Nevis and Snowdon on some weekends, interspersed with migrations to the Alps around June. This friendly and generally harmless creature, except on ski slopes, is an experienced motorcyclist both in Britain and abroad. If nagged, he is even willing to acquire a sidecar for your adventures.

Mike Leaver, born and raised in post-war Birmingham amidst the remnants of war, endured a childhood marked by asthma. Despite the hardships, he managed to escape the confines of cruel State boarding schools and pursued diverse careers as a lab technician, accountant, pleasure-boat captain, and local builder.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Mike's life has been a tapestry of extraordinary experiences. He has lived as a homeless hermit, inhabiting a derelict boat amidst a community of drug addicts. He has also ventured into the realm of adventure and mountaineering, exploring the UK, Scandinavia, and North Africa. As he approached semi-retirement, Mike found solace in a converted lorry, nestled in a picturesque coastal town, where he currently writes books and enjoys an idyllic life off-grid.

This memoir, penned by Mike Leaver, is a captivating and unconventional tale of a man who pursued his dreams with unwavering determination and a zest for life. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of pursuing one's passions, even in the face of adversity. Through his experiences, Mike offers a glimpse into the unconventional life he has led, filled with adventure, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
