Description
This is as close as I could get, you can see the herd of young cattle on the right well they didn't take too kindly to me so I hopped back over the hedge.The farmer was happy for me to risk my life but I declined his invite. He was though very informative about the area.

I never knew cows could be deadly - couldn't you just out-run them??

You wally Hamish! Have you ever been to Stanton Drew? You'd find plenty there - they're really like inquisitive adolescents. All they want to do is pose for the camera!

I was once pursued across a field by a herd of sheep. I was about 6 at the time and it was very scary. I'm less scared now that I'm bigger than them.

I was charged by a small herd in Cork last year. Extremely frightening! When I looked back, I think some of the pats were mine. People have died in such circumstances - rare, but it does happen.

Maybe we should spend less time wandering around farmland in search of lumps of rock!

This year, descending from Caer Caradoc near Church Stretton, I was charged by half a dozen cows or more; I do have a way of coping with them, which is to stand, look at them, stretch my hands as high as I can to make myself tall, and that stops 'em. On this occassion, it stopped the ones nearest me, but a number of them across the field had picked up speed already, and it was a 30 second dash to the field boundary, over the gate!

I was once chased at Barbrook Resevoir by a very determined cow. It wasn't funny. The stones there are rather low, so I couldn't climb on one to escape it. Oh for trilithons you could jump on out the way! (Only joking, honest).

The cows are just curious and want food or milking. You move away and so they follow you. The faster you move the faster they will - so stop, turn and walk towards them.

Nice idea, but I'm not about to try and milk any of the bullocks at Bodrifty! (Another meeting where the bovines came off best)

Bullocks are just soft puppies, but avoid the well hung fella with the ring in his nose.

I should have mentioned, I've set up a forum post for logging anything funny that's happened whilst exploring...
