Beast of Cannock Chase,,,

Rushmore

Was out riding at cannock today, when my riding buddy spotted this and a series of others leading off into the thick woodland...


very odd..... Never seen a print so big....

There was myself and 2 other riders...

Pretty cool, i've always been interested in things like that, and they're not totally daft either, people did keep them as pets years ago...

A dog paw print, which has expanded as the snow melted...
(or someone up there has taken a great dane for a walk)

Does look like a Great Dane footprint. Strangely enough, I saw a massive Great Dane last weekend on the Chase!.....

Certainly not a big cat ilovedirt. The print has claw marks. Cats have retractable claws

I hear the Wolf had to walk the drop, that's where the name comes from, he's also been pushing Alex for a blue bypass ever since.

There is also rumours of a panther type big cat, wolves and numerous ufo sightings in and around the stafford /cannock areas...........wouldn't suprise me tbh !
