Bloody Hell, Jon you must be bonkers to give us such an amazing bargain. Of Course I will take advantage of this fantastic offer. Wow
PRU WAS SULKING: She didn't see why, if we transformed Helios & into a winged cat, why she couldn't be a winged dog..
She is actually bizarrely reminiscent of some statuary we saw in Mexico City (see my book Only Fools and Goatsuckers which was published by CFZ POress back in 2001)
GLEN VAUDREY: Trail Cameras for Sumatra Part 3
I thought it was time to demonstrate some of the advantages of trail cams, and we shall use our ever willing mascot Trevor to help make the point.
As you can see from today's picture a trail cam is tireless, it doesn’t need to break off to eat and drink and as long as its batteries are charged it will keep going; unlike our poor Lego cryptozoologist, still clutching his camera, who certainly looks the worse through lack of sustenance.
Many thanks to those who have so far donated, your contributions are very welcome and much appreciated. Don’t despair if you haven’t yet donated, or if you wish to contact me about the trail cams, the campaign still has many more weeks to run.
Just to recap, to sponsor a trail cam will cost £100. If that seems a little steep why not get a group together to sponsor one of these trail cams, a group of five will pay just £20 each. Sponsors will get an update on any pictures and when something exciting is spotted your name will go up in lights alongside the photo.
Don’t despair if you miss out on Trevor, he has plenty of friends who also need help in breaking free.
Your sponsorship will pay for the release and upkeep of Trevor and kin, but sadly you will have no rights to take him home.
Now doesn’t that sound like a good deal? Armchair cryptozoology at its best. All the fun of an expedition without being bitten by scary tropical insects.
If you like the sound of this then please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

Donations can be made via PayPal to Trailcams@CFZ.org.uk
