If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure: Call the office on 01489 774400. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly. NOTES: Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call. If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed. Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact. Thank you!

Friday December 20th

 47? 48? 47? 48?  Decided to call it a day........but suddenly caught a glimpse of Houdini the Whiteface in the Eastern compartment!  Managed to coax it down to the bottom kissing gate but 3 times failed to get the gate open before it bolted. After more encouragement got it to the other kissing gate (by the steep slope) and success! I think this is where it gets through (there were hoof prints in the mud). The gate opens very easily pushing from central to Eastern. Have managed to jam it shut with an old fencing stake.

Nuts and water full.  Gates otherwise all ok. One walker with dog on lead.
