Big Cats! Rick Minter in Gloucestershire
Big Cats! Rick Minter takes Clare Balding for a walk in rural Gloucestershire to discuss why he's so sure big cats exist in the British countryside.
Do big cats roam the British countryside? It鈥檚 a long running debate, one that鈥檚 never far from the headlines. A few years ago on Ramblings, Clare saw what she described as an 鈥渆normous black cat鈥� on a walk near Ross on Wye. Several newspapers followed this up, as did the 鈥楤ig Cat Conversations鈥� podcast which is hosted by Rick Minter: he set up a camera trap close to Clare鈥檚 sighting and made contact with Ramblings. So, for today鈥檚 walk, Clare and Rick explore the area around Selsley Common in Gloucestershire and discuss why he鈥檚 so sure big cats do exist in rural Britain.
