RJB’s story
“Was crossing from stile to stile. Stiles were overgrown so was hard to find the exit stile. Got chased by 20-odd young but fully-grown cows and found the gap in the hedge to jump over just in time. I had to run across the field with an 18kg backpack on – if I’d been less fit or had less time to react then I’d have been at the very least in a collision with a charging herd.”
