Bear Alert

Bears mark their territory by scratching at trees, the higher they scratch the stronger the signal they sent to other bears.......and us humans.  Gek is 5 foot nothing.  Whilst this is an old marking, the bear that made the marks must have been at least 8 feet at full stretch.

There had been a bear sighting in these woods the day before our visit, as recorded in the park's lodge visitors book.

 Mary-Ann on the alert, hoping to see a bear but a deer would have to do.

    Just in case you didn't get it, I'll repeat myself
    Stockport is now quite up to this standard. But the absence of bears makes it much safer.

    OK ... for the third time: Stockport has not quite so much to offer except they've managed to catch all the bears and put them safe in a zoo.
