  • Yup, South Africans are tough. If that happened at Fort William, there would be an air ambulance en route.

    Although.. I almost got clipped by a doe at Cannock last autumn, that was a close call.. she ran across the front of me, we missed one another by under a foot..

    Doubtful, there wouldn't be any chance of ever coming across big cats on that route.

    these animals possess an irrational fear of lycra which makes them react in such a violent manner.
