Please Contact Scottish Big Cats And Mark Fraser Here With Any Information
Lincolnshire is no stranger to big cat sightings, they have been recorded for decades.
Several group members have taken an interest in the area and have already vsited witnesses in Lincolnshire twice during 2003. There is a vigil planned for the 9th of
February 2004.
As well as interviewing witnesses we shall be searching for photographic and any other hard evidence that comes our way.
Expenses are paid by each individual and onsite expenses shared when on site. We are always looking for other members to come along and help with these vigils.
Your own tents and camping equipment is essential.
To view our past exploits in Lincolnshire please visit the Radio incolnshire website at Radio Lincolnshire Big Cats.
