Cows

To most people a cow is something that produces milk, meat and increases global warming (so im told).
To the Coastguard, cows have caused us some interesting incidents, starting last summer when a group of girls staying at a local activity centre were on a night hike only for these four legged beasts to "scare" them, forcing them to take another route. Unfortunatley one fell over hurting her ankle and then a heavy rain storm caused them to get very wet and cold, off we went to find them, locating them on Godlingston Hill.
The next encounter was on Saturday when two small children walking up the road from the lighthouse were confronted by the group of cows shown above, no one was moving (cows or children) so John and Gareth who were on patrol offered a safe seat in the vehicle and drove the children and adults to the top of the hill.
The only other hazard is the other bi product of cows (im not talking milk!), as alot of our time is spent off road you can guess the mess that makes (i feel sorry for Avenue Garage), in fact we probably have the most fertile piece of tarmac anywhere in Swanage.
