Kielder Forest - Big cat alert!

[Paulus]

No match for the Cougar. I knew one in college. That is all.

A mature student??

I was there to learn.

I never mentioned why I started the thread in the first place.

When I head towards Kielder it is usually up the road through the village to Scotland. But my memory of the actual forest was a good decade plus ago, riding through maybe a place called Falstone to exit northwards. The forest had a bit of a centre parcs feel to it, family groups and juniors doing exploring.

It is slightly worrying that juniors would not have such safe freedom to explore, parents needing to be more watchful.

If you really mean the parents would need to be watchful because of lynx, I invite you to produce the evidence that a wild lynx has ever attacked a human. I've tried hard to see them in places where wild lynx are indigenous, and succeeded once in about 10 years.

If you must worry about something that shouldn't be in the wild, try cars.
