[Darren A. Peace]

Brilliant story, Jo.

Are you sure it wasn't the Bigfoot from the 80s Night Of The Demon?

I got trashed when I went to one.
I took one of my dogs.  He's large, 100lbs and was youngster, quite 
inexperienced at the time.
We had this bright idea to hide our beer stash deep into the forest and hang

little bags of food, (boiled eggs, sarnies and stuff) from nearby trees to 
indicate the way and location when we returned in the dark.  Miraculously it

worked and we found our way back - probably due to our finely tuned beer 
radars rather than to the markers we'd left; although I recall my hear 
friend cracking her head on what sounded suspiciously like eggshell as we 
were staggering around.
When we bedded down, I tied my dog around my waist so that he couldn't 
wander off during the night. Before I knew it, it was half-light, Dawn and I

had this wild sense of rushing through the forest bed.  I realised that I 
was actually awake and was, for what seemed like many painful miles (but was

probably only a few hundred yards) being painfully dragged, at speed, 
through the undergrowth by a drooling beast who was furiously hunting 
something; fuck knows what.  Whatever it was though, had ravaged the food 
bags which were reduced to shredded bits of fluttering polythene - no 
edibles in sight.  I like to think that it was a little hairy wildman or a 
monkey:-)))  That would certainly explain the bananas.
Good fun.  It would've been excellent if a decent band've played.
