Re: Bulls
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!!
