Matt’s Story

“I was walking on my own without a dog. I entered the field through the kissing gate. Group of about 5 cows and possibly calves nearby which ignored me. Went through the field on RoW to discover it was shut by Network Rail at the exit from the field. I returned along the path, one of the cows ran at me and butted me. I had to throw myself over a barbed wire and hawthorn field boundary damaging my clothing and causing numerous deep lacerations to my legs”
