day 6, Ponden to East Marton

up a big hill
down a big hill
constant upward motion
in my own world
rhythm rhy rhythm
building paths
sheep farming on quad bikes
herded with the sheep along the path

what is a safe distance for a sheep to walk behind you?
around 15 metres away from us
when we stop they stop and wait
undulating in the heather
shepherds shaping the centre from the edge
whistles and calls and dogs resting on quads
in between shifts
