Old Bull #astoncantlow 2

We followed the river for a brief period then continued north-west for a moment until we’d past some railings on our right containing a yard of skips. Shortly after that on our left was a kissing gate which took us into a field bearing south-west with a small line of fenced trees separating us from the river. We bore south-west to another kissing gate then crossed a farm track to a third kissing gate on our right where we climbed a gently sloped grass hill towards a row of trees. On the horizon of this field was a gate which slope down to the next field. A farmer was busy tending to a cow that had passed away and was attaching a net around its carcass so that it could be carried away by forklift. My mother was absolutely fascinated by  this as she’d often had a fear of cows in fields.
