Dist:0.7km<br/>Like a ravenous Mongol Horde, these sheep pursued me relentlessly in a frenzied quest for free food. Giving up only when I had reached the safety of a stile, from where I took the only picture in existence of a flock of sheep simultaneously thinking the word 'bugger!'.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Word got out that there was a man in the field offering free food and this was the result. A Brian-like following of woolybacks, coming from all over the place. A naked man in a hole near some Juniper bushes would not have surprised me. Disappointment for them was not very far away in the shape of a stile.

Dist:0.7km<br/>On its last legs.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Curious that all these rooks/crows/whatevers were milling around in that field, there was no crop in it, just grass like the one I was stood in to take the picture.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Taken from the top left hand corner of the square. Horsehouse is down in the valley just to the right.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Still not giving up, these sheep followed me for over half a mile in the belief that I was distributing free food. By the time I lost them, there were hundreds.

Dist:0.8km<br/>These sheep started to gather in their hundreds and to follow me when word got around that I might be supplying a free meal. I wasn't, but that didn't mean they stopped following me.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Near Fleensop. These sheep heard my map bag blowing in the wind and thought they were in for a free feed. They came out of the woodwork and started to follow me. Whenever I stopped, they stopped, and I swear that some of them tried to look pre-occupied when I did.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Clearly marked on the 1:25, 000 yet unnamed. From here, it runs down the valley side to join Fleemis Gill.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Judging by the three raised doorways I would have to say this was, at least originally, a hay storage barn.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Looking down to and across Fleemis Gill. The hill on the horizon is the Heights of Hazely.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Inside the plantation. A small way further down was a an open area given over to the rearing of game birds.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Also the public footpath. The locals seem to be very keen on walkers not wandering from the right of way (which they probably resent having anyway)and this is evident in the number of 'PRIVATE' GOML signs.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Fleensop is just out of sight to the left of the trees. Not taken from a footpath as I had just wandered over to the next grid square (SE04 82)for a first and was on my way back.
