Pilgrimage

Have only seen Episode 1. Loved it

I’ve been pinned in a hedge with my two dogs by young, but incredibly huge bullocks. It was terrifying. It was an L shaped field and I didn’t know they were there till I entered the field and they charged at me. Mind you I knew a farrier that would never enter a field full of horses he didn’t know.

Dogs have been killed round here by an inquisitive herd of cows. I do steer clear of fields with cattle in.

Yes, I wouldn't do it by choice. It was a relief when we got through to the other side.

The only time I walk through cows is when they graze the dunes in winter. I know they won’t have calves and they aren’t enclosed in a field. And most animals are calmer in winter.

I once walked from Craster to Dunstanburgh through a field with cows, and it was scary. We hadn't realised we were in a field, as we were following a footpath. As it was a BH there were lots of other people on it, and the cows were a distance away. When they saw us they came to say hello, and I couldn't wait to get out of there.

St Oswalds Way goes through the field at the back of my partners house. There’s the biggest bull you ever saw in that field sometimes and it terrifies me to see people walking through it. plus cows and their calves, and the path cuts through the centre of the field so you can easily walk between the cows and their babies.

I wonder if they walk all the way, or get lifts and film the walking as they approach the various stop-off points?

It said somewhere that they use coaches for some of it.

So beautiful. Having walked St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose to Holy Island just after the pandemic, the programme brought back such happy memories. DH and I walked the causeway barefoot as it was the easiest way carrying boot laces in hand. I will never forget it.
I have always loved that place since first visiting as a child.
What an inspiring journey for the group.

Loving the scenery and all the places visited. I am particularly looking forward to Lindisfarne which I visited a few years ago.

I wish I was part of it.

Dare I say I’m loving all the girlie chats and would love to be in their ‘coven’!

I am watching it now. I saw most of the last one on Sundays, but this is the first of this series I have seen, and I'm enjoying it.
