Walked up after visiting Durdle Door. Cattle on the barrow at the summit eating the remains of a picnic left in a carrier bag. We managed to collect up all the rubbish, one cow really didn't want to give up an energy drink can and another was trying to eat a crisp packet. Our good dead done but we shouldn't have needed to.Swindon Bagger23/07/2016
