Hi all, there was a thread recently about seeing wildlife I'n the night so this sort of runs parallel to that thread but with a different question attached!
Has anyone been 'Nibbled I'n the Night'?.. (now before the jokes start..I'm referring to natures wildlife!!)
Now I'm not talking about food bags, sweaty socks left out kit stuff! I mean actually 'Nibbled' on exposed body parts!
A cold nose sticking out of a balaclava, a stray toe sticking out of a sock hole etc etc!
It's just that at the weekend, while under my tarp I'n Thetford forest, I could of sworn there was a badger about a foot from my face! I made a 'small' noise to make him aware of my presence, but by the time I fumbled for my head torch it was gone! The next morning I found fresh badger tracks 10 feet away where he had been rooting for grubs!
Now it never nibbled me, but I certainly spent the next 10 minutes, thoroughly licking my lips to make sure there was no honey or peanut butter type residue left for him to get a good taste of!!
