Report No: 929
Date of Incident: 19/09/22
Location: Hadrian’s wall path just west of Cawfield’s Quarry
Account “I was walking Hadrian’s Wall Path when a woman with a dog ran past me towards a gate. She was being chased by a cow with its head lowered. I (stupidly or bravely, I don’t know) stepped between her and the cow to protect them, spread out my arms, and yelled at the cow to stop. It skidded to a halt in front of me, looked me over, then peered around me towards the dog. Once the woman and the dog made it to the other side of the gate, the cow ambled away.
I believe that had I not intervened, the woman or her dog would have been injured.”
