photo followed me for about half a mile through their field; there
were more but these were the persistant ones that came all the way. In
another field of females and calves they were so jumpy they started a
mass migration to a neighbouring field but crossing my route so I had
to dash across the migrating herds path. Two more occassions with
bulls I won't bore you with but suffice to say I really had enough of
cows yesterday! I still like milk and steak though so will forgive
them all. Yesterday ended with rain and me cooking inside a damp tent
before an early night.
Today was a much better day and the countryside of the Derbyshire
dales is much more scenic. The picture Looks down on the village of
Taddington where I am staying tonight in another camping barn, very
basic but with plenty of space and a roof over my head it suits me
just fine. I'll keep the blog short tonight as I've had to climb the
hill to get phone signal and it's chilly up here. At a guess I've
probably covered 45 miles in the last two days and am happy with
progress. I'm really looking forward to joining the pennines way and
some of the higher country coming up but the gradients do look
challenging...
Good night everyone
Mal
