A Discovery on Team Names

Whilst undertaking the mammoth Three Peaks Challenge yesterday (after which, I am thoroughly exhausted and have contracted sun-burn so ridiculous that when I take my shirt off, it looks like I am wearing a white T-shirt), my newly recruited team-mates and I got to discussing our team names (Bandicoot and Oscelot). 


I was previously under the impression that an Oscelot was some kind of deer, probably found in Africa or some such foreign part and that a Bandicoot was something similar to a fox, cunning and sly. After a little argument, neither of us were any the wiser. So I looked it up on t'interweb today.

It  turns out an Oscelot is some kind of cool large cat, otherwise known as the 'Painted Leopard' or 'Jaguarette'.

A bandicoot is basically a large hamster. Awe inspiring!

So that's what a bandicoot is. Won't you need to get special tiny boots?? (I'm on team oscelot, hello. And hope you and Lucy don't lose your home.)
