stampede

With the weather set to deteriorate mid morning it was an early start for a wander in the Langdale valley.  

I was reaching the end of the field on the left heading for the open gate when there was a sound of approaching hooves. Thinking it was a horse I was about to peer around the wall when one of these chaps appeared. I disappeared behind the gate and up a stile while half a dozen of them changed field. They weren't in for long before they charged back into the other.
