3 of 5. From Jacksbank, onwards to Knock Hill. | Minto | 01/04/2023 |
Started on wind farm track but met farmer who advised there was a bull in the field who ‘could be nasty’. The cattle were crowded round the barn next to the track so I took a direct route across the field which was very wet and muddy but at least the cattle took no notice. | govanah | 09/11/2022 |
