Since the weekend just gone was a fantastic sunny day I went out with my dog and walked over the moors following the public footpaths with my trusty OS map in hand.
After getting lost a few times I came across a field I had to go into for like 30sec to get to another path. I saw it had sheep and some lambs in, but given all the previous fields I had been in I figured as long as I moved slowly towards the path they would move away, I was in no rush so I took it really slow as not to frighten them.
After passing a large group of them on my left arcing round them as much as I could, I managed to get past them without any problems. However as I looked back to check one of them wanted to be a Hero! and started running and jumping and stomping towards me, started to panic a little so I moved my dog behind me ready to take a hit but it darted off at the last min.
Is this sort of heroics from sheep the norm when walking with dogs?
I am very responsible and always keep my dog on his lead and make sure I follow footpaths etc.
