>>2826120I like all sheep but one. First step of the Pennine way when I was younger, I was following an old map and missed my route so ended up camping up on Bleaklow as it got dark rather then pressing on to the actual campsite in Crowden. I slept like shit so packed up my tent at about 6am, surrounded by clouds. The descent towards the reservoir is along a gorge with a narrow track along it. It's been a long time since I did it, but in my 22 year old mind I had a fairly vertical rock wall on my left and a deep drop into a river far below on my right. Exhausted and regretting everything, I was trying to make my way down the path on a couple hours sleep when a sheep looms out of the cloud at me and wouldn't move. There's no way I can move around it and if it's startled when I move, it'll push me down and probably kill me. I ended up yelling at this stupid fucking sheep for about 20 minutes when eventually he turned and disappeared.
I wasn't moving particularly fast but by the time I followed the path the sheep had completely disappeared and there was no trace of it. The farmer didn't have his sheep in the nearby fields either so it must have been an extremely lost sheep looking at a lost hiker.
All other sheep are okay.
