Badger!

I was coming home late tonight, and after slogging up hill I start picking up speed and relaxing for the downhill on pitch black country lanes. It wasn't until I was right on top of it that I saw the white stripe, and heard the scraping of claws as it ran across the road in front of me. Not sure how I didn't hit it!

The bugger even had the cheek to grunt at me as it ran off!

Did you see the programme about the honey badger on tv last night? Amazing animals, and so smart.

Happened to me once also trouble was I was doing about 25 mph downhill with about 35Kg of camping gear in my trailer (and the trailers not that light)
Did'nt need Ducolax for a long while after that.
