Descending to Yew Tree Tarn and by near death experience...

Just after visiting the tarn I headed trough a field with two horses in. Both of them looked at me and carried on their daily business... Until I took a few steps closer and one bolted for me at full speed, clearly very angry that I was entering the field. I had to run and scramble up a rock face to get out of the way of the horse and as it trotted back to the other horse I made a run for the gate and went a different way round! New fear of horses unlocked!
