Dave S’s story
“We were walking on a public footpath but in an unfamiliar area. The cows were congregated around the gate from the field so it was difficult to go around them. A few started bellowing and moving towards us and we backed away. One barged into me and flicked it’s head sending me backwards. I just managed to stay on my feet and we climbed over a barbed wire fence to escape”
Dave was diagnosed with a cracked rib after a hospital visit.
He adds “The path could easily have been fenced off or even divided through a different field”
