Don't try and walk and txt whilst in a field that has had cows in it
And shorts and sandals don't mix well with nettles either
What other things should you know better than doing, but end up doing anyway ?  |

Never walk past a nettle, don't even look at a nettle. Swear they sense you're about to go past and grow just so they can inflect hellish pain as you brush past. |

Your ok with cows unless you have your pooch . Or they have calves with them.
If they start following you let the pooch off its the dog they will chase and I promise you your dog can run faster than a cow , but you cant!
Lol , country boy here and been chased a few times .

Best thread of the day!
"Calmly wave hiking poles towards cows resting on a trail and speak in a normal voice to encourage them to move out of your way. Keep calm and act as if you are not a threat."
"If you detect an aggressive cow or a threatening group of cows, keep moving calmly and do not make direct eye contact. Keep your body facing the cow; do not turn your back to the animal or run."
"If an aggressive cow does charge you, use your trekking poles as a weapon, and hit the animal directly on the nose to deter it. Be quick and precise with your hit."
Now, where did I hide my Trekking Pole... |

The cows were no longer there, only their deposits  |

We have a stick by the back door.
On every walk we take, every single one, whenever we come across nettles, brambles, dodgy-looking cows, water of questionable depth, I remember that stick.
Maybe one day I'll remember to actually take it with us...

"Oh just re read the sandals bit hope you weren't wearing socks too
Bath time for you bud "
And the dog too
Definitely no socks .... I got that sinking feeling, and a warm one too between the toes  |
