+Seasider Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Apparently a woman was driving down a quiet East Sussex country lane when she saw a large black cat sat on the road in front of her... Top story (Fri 14/7) then follow link to local paper These caches appear to be in the immediate area... Caches close to the pussy cat's den! So be careful where you go poking your caching stick over the weekend - you might be in for a big surprise! Cheers! Seasider Quote Link to comment

The Mount View Crew Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm not saying that I don't believe that there are big cats on the prowl out there, because I really dont know the truth. But, over the years there have been numerous sightings of such creatures, but I cannot recall any stories of any actually being caught/found, dead or alive. So are they mythical? Meeeooooowwwww.

+Bill D (wwh) Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 In the mid-seventies the law was changed making it illegal to keep a big cat without a licence. There's been speculation since that people who wouldn't have met the conditions of a licence or who couldn't afford one may have released big cats into the countryside rather than have to have them put down, and that some of those may have bred. On the other hand, some years ago there were frequent sightings of a supposed large black big cat south of Salisbury, Wiltshire. These sightings occured often over a period of, I think, about eighteen months or so. Then one night a large black dog was found dead by the roadside, and from its condition it had evidently been living wild for some time. There were no further big cat sightings...

+Seasider Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Glad to see that no-one has been eaten as yet! Cheers! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+BareClawz Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 As a related subject, if you're doing Park Hill Runaround GCV8YH late in the evening, or early morning then I can confirm that the lions are being very vocal at the moment and often once they start the wolves join in. Gives interesting sound effects to this cache. But you needn't worry the lions and the wolves are safely in big enclosures. But several years ago a hippo did go for a walkabout to a local village.

+The Flying Boots Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Here in the Forest of Dean we have a problem with wild boar that can be quite aggressive apparently as well as big cat sightings one of which has been seen by Mr F.B. himself a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment

Are you sure that was not a pink panther following a few to many pink gin's. Quote Link to comment
