Thanks for all the advice. I went again the next day, sticks and whistle at the ready to make loud noises. The cows were there ready for me again and came rushing over to the fence as I arrived so just clearing them from the gate was fun and games. Much shouting and running at the cows (from behind the gate) cleared the herd but the curious one still wanted to play so I moved out, sticks up and ready. I'm surprised a farmer didn't come out and shoot me the amount of noise I had to to make to get them to move! Thanks for all the advice and hopefully I'll be alright in the future. Interestingly the horses in the previous fields bolted at the sight of me this time round which is also a bit scary and they can run a bit faster. Happy caching!

Hello. I'm a fairly new GeoCacher and this is my first posting on the forums. I really need some help! Whenever I can, I enjoy walking to caches rather than driving as close as I can and then grabbing them. I had planned a route to a cache that took me along a lot of public footpaths. However one as being used by a herd of cattle. I initially decided that I would walk the perimeter of their field to get to the other side, yet they had other plans for me. They chased me and I lept over a barbed wire fence, loosing my map and ripping my trousers in the process. What could I do to prevent this happening again? Thanks in advance,
