[Caberfeidh]

Well, this could add a frisson of excitement to a camping trip...

That was yesterday's news .

Today's paper has the local landowners denying making any such agreements to lynx, whether four legged or in a tin

Methinks interesting times are afoot round Kielder...............Just hope it doesn't encourage Alladale to fence his land and introduce lynx there to our detriment

Dunno about detriment; fences can be cut through with a simple pair of bolt-cutters and a lynx skin makes an excellent hat. Once there are enough of these re-introduced creatures in the wild, will we get to wear them again like people used to?

Lynx skin (middle) in Norway.

That plonker has already fenced large amounts of acreage of with high fencing without any means of crossing them and locked gates and the means of electrifying them. That was over 2 years ago. for the use of his ambition of a theme park.

"Theme Park" - aye, right! Just any excuse to fence everyone else out.

You want to see his prices for accommodation on the estate. Mind blowing to say the least. A very exclusive clientele base. Even that mountaineering "Hero" Bear Grylls has his fingers in the pie..

Yuk, I'd hate to think what else was in a pie he had anything to do with. Gimme Ray Mears any day. Ray Mears whittles a log cabin armed only with a Swiss Army knife, has a pig on a spit roasting over a campfire and sings folk songs with the natives while drinking the local hooch, whereas Bear Grylls gets thrown out of a helicopter, dosses inside a dead yak and eats creepy-crawlies.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who gets the urge to vomit when the name of Bear Grylls is mentioned.

Bear is probably still getting over meeting me on the Dessary Hills
