We were warned when we first moved up here, the farmer can take a pot shot if the dogs are off the lead and not near his sheep so we do not take any chances!!!!! I used to go down a dis used train line but there are field along the track and you never know when the fields will contain sheep, although one farmer used to put warning signs up before you got near his field and I think thats a great idea, people do not awlays think of things like that, I do so keep to the forest!!
