All things being equal - That’s my plan for next year. Either that or lejog... I’ve a few problems with the ‘Yorkshire’ family at the moment which may well determine time away and therefore - which tour.

We were lucky enough to win the road lottery. They have a drawing to let 400 cars drive through the park at the end of the season.
If you are interested here is a link to apply.

Oh my. That's somewhere I was looking at taking my motorbike.
It's not the big bears you really need to worry about, mostly they've learnt to stay away from us. It's the little ones. They've got a pissed off Momma bear following them trying to put right everything they screw up. That includes contact with the likes of us. Don't piss off Momma bear or your day could have a very unhappy endingStay 300 yds from bears!
.I don't have to run quickly. I just need to not be the slowestRun quickly
Different continent, and different animals, but what we say in Africa is only food runs! We were taught that if a lion or other such big beasty charges, what you do is stand still. Trained to be a safari guide a few years ago and have been charged by lion, elephant, rhino and standing your ground is the safest bet (you'll never out run any of these dudes anyway). Even better if others run as the animal will likely chase them insteadOh my. That's somewhere I was looking at taking my motorbike.

It’s the same with bears. Never run. I can’t even ride my bike fast enough. They can do 35 mph for short distances.Different continent, and different animals, but what we say in Africa is only food runs!

Always aim for a kick in the nuts... That'll teach it a lesson...Different continent, and different animals, but what we say in Africa is only food runs!

Edit: @Daddy Pig this is what gave you the idea but it is fake. You can tell because the brown bear will very seldom use a round house kick. Your black bear sure; but almost never the brown bear.
