for some reason I didn't read the bit about Isle of Wight  :-\

I think they also turn up as releases/ escapes - but it would be really exciting if they came back.

My son James is on a three day tramp along the Hilary trail in the Waitakeres. They survived a vicious thunder storm over night, but a possum broke into their store tent, chewed a hole in a back pack and ate the muesli and pita bread - Friday's breakfast and lunch! ::)

I do like the way such things are available on YouTube.
Great that Derek is keeping in touch with you over there Anthony - makes you seem a bit closer to home!

Alas, it is only through trivia that I have contact with Derek. Must send him some news and then see how he is.
