It was on the track going throught the wood.

It jumped up and bit my camera strap - it clamped its gob shut and wouldnt let go.

Maybe it was a mugging ferret?

I wonder if someone has been out trying to catch rabbits and lost their ferret  ;D

Guys does this sound like the route we tried.
Eagle Mountain
Cold Harbour (Winter Route) 55 m, V,(4,6)
I.Rea and K. O'Hara, 8/1/10
Above the difficult step in Great Gully is a turfy buttress, bounded on the right by the gully and on the left by a dark right facing corner.
(1) 30m. Climb the difficult step in Great Gully, step left and climb up the middle of the turfy buttress to belay at a huge thread below a small overhang.
(2) 25m. Go round overhang on the right and up obvious left slanting line. Steep and strenuous but very well protected and with good turf where it matters.
(3) 100m. Finish up easier ground left of Great Gully.
If you die with all your parts working your not trying hard enough!
