The problem with laws preventing bulls in fields with a ROW, is that bulls cannot read

Lesson for today............If you see something in a field about 1 ton in weight with a ring in its nose.............DONT STROKE IT.

Me & MrsMatty were wandering through a field coming from Loveclough over to Rising Bridge on the Rossy way & we got followed by some bulls, should have seen MrsMatty run - lol

Agree with you ... this is right up there with "don't play with the cute little bear cub."

Seriously the worst thing to do!!!! You read all the time about people being trampled and it is generally because they start running. Bullocks are very curious and will follow you.
You walk, they walk behind.
You walk quickly, they walk quickly too.
You run, they start to run.
You trip up on the uneven ground of the field, they don't.
Just how quickly do you think it takes a ton of beef to stop when it's running???
If in any doubt STOP walking, turn around to face them and clap your hands loudly at a steady rate.

Why, do they stop to take a bow ...

Then what ?
Tell you what though Phil, takes guts to try out this theory though ...

It isn't a theory Kate, I know. If you are walking and then stop the bullocks will too. They aren't vicious animals you know, they're just curious. If you are a little un-nerved by them, stop and face them and clap your hands, not in an applause style, just slow and deliberate. They will back off and you can continue on your way.
Whilst doing the Coast to Coast in '95 I entered a field by way of a stile in a tall hedge quite a way behind my companions. As I wandered downhill I could see my companions waving but couldn't quite make out what they were saying due to the wind. When I got closer I heard the word 'behind' and turned to come face to face with about two dozen bullocks who had apparently followed me down the field and I never heard a thing!!
