Dovedale Farm
Our walk invariably took us through fields of cattle. That can be problematical if you have a dog with you. One cow took exception to Ralph and the advice now is to let your dog off the lead if you are threatened. That goes against the grain rather [signs everywhere tell you to keep your dog on a lead] and in fact after a mock charge and a lot of hoof stamping the cow let us alone. But in another field the animals immediately charged to the gate so we thought it wise to find another route. It probably added a couple of miles to our hike.
