SHEEP There are two kinds of sheep: those that wet themselves in fear at the sight of a walker, and those that think you are a farmer and have food to offer. The first lot empty their bladders then run away. The second lot come running up and start nosing in your pockets for anything edible. Handkerchiefs, compasses, car keys and wallets are all edible to a sheep. Don’t try to be funny by shouting ‘Mint sauce!’ It doesn’t work; sheep have no sense of humour. HORSES Horses only get aggressive when their foals are nearby. Don’t even bother running

The only way to recover is to rest, which is no use whatsoever if you still have 15 miles to go to get back to the car. If walking boots are the wrong size, or too loosely laced, they’ll rub against the socks and skin. As soon as you feel a blister developing, stop walking and take your boots and socks
