However on the Sunday morning I noticed a little blood on my shoulder when getting up, blast I thought I let a mosquito into the tent, but when I was putting the tent away I noticed a rather bloated leech working its way down the tent. I am already consulting Injury Lawyers.
I'm so pleased I didn't go. I did find a frog jumping around in my tent at the Norfolk Alternative and couldn't work out how it got the zip open and closed but the thought of a leech sets off my phobia of slimy squishy creatures. Even now I'm starting to panic. However, I do appreciate their value in medical practise but I wouldn't want leeches ( or indeed that other modern treatment, maggots ) used on me. Shudder!!!!!!!!

That will have been one very drunk leech.

sadly too true Duncan, probably why it took until after breakfast to escape.

I thought you were referring to the Injury Lawyers, I believe they don't let go.

Sadly, I have still to dry out the tent and re-torque the cylinder head.
