We have just been told that in March last year — late! but well worth recording — there was an exchange on a thread of UKC which is certainly of interest, and shows Jim Perrin does not always have it all his own way…

Two of the contributors posted a link to jacssisters — and we are grateful to them for their thoughtfulness — and a third wrote the following:

‘In reply to UKC articles: Wonderful how he [JP] trips out references to classics to impress and seems to be so well read while he slags off contemporary writers* — (anything he might be afraid of?) — like levels of true achievement and literary regard? Remarkable the degree to which he overwrites and over obsesses about himself.

For a true reading about this man — reading/writing/literature/just the stuff of getting through with other people — read jacssisters.org — no amount of obfuscation can conceal the truth, esp. towards the women he has been involved with.’

We were told at the weekend — Sunday, November the 4th — that Jim Perrin may recently have moved; and in several earlier posts we have described how over the years, when this elusive author has felt the CSA (now the CMS) were closing in on him, he hastily packed his belongings and left the address they had discovered. For one more personal example, when our sister Jac was involved with him in 2003 he moved to her house from his own in Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant: he organised this without Jac having the least notion as to his real motive for leaving that property, and she never knew of his past history with, or current connection to, the CSA or that his latest whereabouts had recently been made known to them by someone who knew of that Llanrhaeadr address…

We know that later, after she died — and he was thwarted in his deceitful attempt to take over the tenancy of her house from her children (by telling them, within hours of her death: ‘it had been their mother’s last wish that he should’) — he had other relationships and subsequent ‘disappearances’ and two of these we can substantiate at first hand. This was before he moved in with his current partner Jan Wolf: since when he, and she, left the addresses where subsequently they lived in a) Harlech, b) Drefach Felindre and c) in her mother’s house in Llanystumdwy, for the same reason. (That is, the CMS had been in touch with him.) Perhaps, as in our late sister’s case his partner is entirely innocent of any suspicion about this aspect of his life — we cannot believe she knows — or that she would be complicit if she did, of his on-going deception of the Child Maintenance Service? We were told by a friend of hers that he has forbidden her to read the posts on our site; they are only full of lies and character-assassination…

In a recent post ‘Jim Perrin comes out’ we quoted from an article we have read on the site ‘To Hatch a Crow’ which we think shows how Jim Perrin’s spite, and jealousy of Joe Simpson and his phenomenal success* seems to have tipped him over the edge of rational behaviour.

For him to have accused Joe Simpson of lying — who had written in Touching the Void of the desperate circumstances in which he and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, found themselves — was truly foolish. And (to add to the malevolent mix) to ‘recall’ the opinion of an orthopaedic friend, anonymous and in our view almost certainly imaginary, as well as claiming that many mountaineers also thought Joe Simpson’s story questionable — was all part of Jim Perrin’s risible attempt to belittle his reputation.
