Having been away for a while and not able to blog, it was great to be back walking in this fabulous crisp cold weather. We walked for some time without seeing any cows, or indeed evidence of any cows, and were beginning to wonder if they had been removed in our absence. Then, whilst walking past the sandy pond at about P17 we heard bellowing.There were a group of 3 brown and white cows moving towards another group, all bellowing away. They joined up and made their way through the high brush across the valley and were last seen climbing the hill to the Sandy Hill path. Had they not been making so much noise we would probably have missed them in the dense undergrowth. We saw 10 in all, and they seemed relaxed and well with no obvious problems.
There were lots of friendly people about today, walking dogs and riding bikes.
