Walking Mishaps

Today we went on a nice Pontesbury walk... well that was what we thought. 

First of all, the map said that after 15 mins we would see a stile. After about 25 mins we realised that the stile was actually replaced by the small kissing gate that had stinging nettles all over it. The map was clearly out of date by about a couple of years. It was so overgrown that we couldn't get in it! On the way back to the gate a couple of cyclists said that a calf had just been born at a farm nearby. We decided to go and see the calf. Unfortunately we didn't see a newborn calf, but we did see this 4 hour old one...

It could barely stand up!

HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE COUNTRY TIP #1

NEVER wear green and lie down on grass in a field of cows (they may mistake you as grass and chew you).

We eventually did do the walk and it was quite nice...
