NEWS FLASH - ESCAPED SNOW LEOPARD

+++++++  Breaking News+++++++

I interrupt this blog to bring you breaking news.

A snow leopard was seen early this morning in the Kent area following Petts Wood Runners who were out for their social run.  This Leopard escaped the clutches of her keepers named as RefMichael and CarolWithAnE,

who were left in charge of transferring the snow leopard from Petts Wood station to Knockholt Station.  The Snow leopard named 'Old Girl' had been rescued from a very deep pit of self pity with only a fridge for company.  She has been living this past year on high fat foods, alcohol and cigarettes.

The Snow Leopards keepers had been keeping a firm grip on her while they were at Petts wood station, the other runners were assured that she was totally friendly and wouldn't bite.  They were helping to reintroduce the snow leopard to her long lost Mojo which is somewhere, out there, in the wild.  The leopard some how managed to escape from the keepers while on the train, between Knockholt and Sevenoaks,

and so half of the Petts Wood Runners had to continue on the train to Sevenoaks, to run back through the country side to try and capture the runaway while another group got off at Knockholt.  Apparently the Snow Leopard has been known to find her way back to her home from Knockholt, dropping in on hostelries and cafes to feed her face on a couple of occasions.

The route back from Knockholt is well known by the PWR's, and they were all pretty sure the snow leopard would be heading back to her familiar hunting grounds for more of her usual self pity, alcohol and high fatty foods!  They had to find her quickly before she was shot down or enter the local cafe to feed. They even checked out the local pub and the bus stop to see if the snow leopard would use those.

They Knockholt group was lead by Illustrious Leader, who has also been known to take care of snow leopard in the past, with regular outings for runs.  She has taken the leopard several times before on one of the longer runs including the run back from Knockholt.  This is a route familiar to Old Girl  and will aid the PWR's to re-capture her before she finds self pity, or worse an open cafe or bar. The Illustrious leader had a good group of 'Old Girls' friends, J.J., GetYourLegsUpTracy, Lou, SnapperHannah, Ruth  and so many more!

The greater spotted
snow leopard!

There were several sightings by locals and the PWR's over the 6 miles between Knockholt and Petts Wood, she was always behind them, in a stalking manner!  Local farms were warned to keep an eye on the 'it's so cute and fluffy' goats and horses.  They mentioned that the snow leopard really only eats cooked meat, and the only danger to the live stock would be that he snow leopard would cuddle them all day long!

Up and down hills and paths they roamed, over roads and fields, no place was left unsearched.  They were so busy planning their route that in one instance Old Girl was hiding in plain view among them.

Of course they did manage to re-capture Snow leopard 'Old Girl' and they managed to get her back to her own hunting grounds, to help her in the hunt for the snow leopards mojo!  They all ended up at a favourite watering hole 'The Cow and Bean', where hot chocolate, coffee and tea were available! 

What a team!

The mojo is now definitely almost in the hands or paws of the snow leopard, I was assured by one of the search party today in an interview.  This will of course mean that cafes, pubs and restaurants will be safe again, but unsuspecting civilians will be seeing a lot more of Old Girl as she happily runs with mojo in her own environment.



This is the known route they took, and they would like to reassure the general public that as of this evening the snow leopard is safely tucked up under a blanket feeling very happy!
