The tiny flock organise themselves, think ahead and take care of each other. It it apparent, that the main risk on these trips into the landscape could be for the mad brained artist and teacher's assistant - whose cronky knees have seriously been challenged up dale and down again, over and over. The sheep in each location, couldn't see a thing inside their woolly heads, took first class care of themselves, helping each other and working well as a team to ensure all is well. But OMG its all over the news about risk aversion aversion, the cutting red tape, health and safety stuff, wanting to ensure more pupils go on trips. They don't mention sheep.
