Have you seen the common Yeti?
It's all quiet on the Yeti front following claims a
hairy 8ft beast was spotted roaming in Tunbridge Wells woods.
In last week’s Messenger it was reported the demonic creature,
known as the Kentish Apeman, was spotted by a terrified member of
the public bounding about the town’s common.
After the initial story appeared on the Tunbridge Wells People
website, keyboard warriors took to email to reveal tales of similar
sightings.
But a month has passed since the most recent reported brush
with Big Foot, which suggests the trail has gone cold or, heaven
forbid, the monster was merely a prankster in fancy dress.
But some people will travel to the ends of the earth – not just
Tunbridge Wells – for a slice of Sasquatch action.
A group of intrepid IT workers are heading off to the Himalayas in
search of Yetis – and failing a Yeti, some pretty spectacular
views.
The three staff members from Custodian Data Centre, based at
Maidstone Studios in Grove Green, were due to fly out to Kathmandu
today to start a two-week charity trek up the slopes of Mount
Everest.
Managing director Rowland Kinch, who is part of the team, said:
“While we’re slightly terrified about the thought of landing at the
world’s most dangerous airport, we’re delighted to be able to
support this worthwhile charity by doing something personally
challenging.
“Spotting a Yeti would be a bonus.”
