I live here. The place with the sculptures has a woods on the end with a memorial bench for my brother who died in 2013. Beautiful place to live.

[@cdwc]

It is very pretty round there.

[@rubbadubdub6543]

I moved from the North Midlands to South Oxfordshire in the early 90’s and lived there for nearly ten years. I used to say hello to everyone I met when out for a walk in the countryside (not in the town, that would be mad!) and got used to them looking at me as though I was insane/a murderer. I resolutely refused to conform and ended up saying ‘hello’ almost aggressively to other walkers, in much the same way I say ‘YOU’RE WELCOME!’ when I hold a door for someone and they don’t say thank you - almost forcing them to say hello back, with a start, usually. I’m probably a sociopath.

[@cdwc]

My other favourite thing is saying 'Jizz' instead of 'Cheers' when someone moves to the side for you on a narrow path.

[@rubbadubdub6543]

The cow whisperer strikes again!

[@cdwc]

[@stephr7637]

Cows are naturally curious, if you do weird stuff like make eye-contact and wave a stick about whilst saying 'Go oern' they will find you absolutely fascinating and think you are so cool that they want to become your disciples. As a country bumpkin with a lot of cow experience, I would recommend just ignoring them and walking at a normal pace towards your destination and at a good distance from any calves. I've been walking through fields with cows in for years and the closest I've come to being trampled was by humans at a Christmas market. Also I live nearish this walk and I've come to the conclusion that people will say hello if you make eye contact and smile, as long as the effect is friendly rather than unsettling. In my experience it's about 50-50.

[@cdwc]

But what if they charge you from a distance? This is the scenario I want to know the advice about. Normally the cows ignore me, I expect they wanted to see if Carlos still had his bad moustache.

[@thekentishpilgrim]

A most excellent start to the Wiltshire Walks! This video had it all; danger, drama, heart, humor. What more can someone ask for? Well, I'm sorry I shaved the moustache but I'm glad you came up with the plan of walking in opposite directions to meet in the middle. It all worked out swimmingly and if anyone has real advice on what to do in a field full of aggressive cows I'd love to hear it. See you next time Cool Dude.

What a nail-biting roller coaster of drama this one was! And I was wrong on all my guesses. My celebrity of choice would be Lassie, so I could go on a long walk with my dog, chase squirrels together and smell all the things he smells.

You might have to smell a lot of dogs bums though.

[@Vurtonable]

When I was young everyone called me Jerry Hall. I think my head was quite elongated and I was tall and lanky then I grew into my head and everyone says I look like Kate Winslet. But I saw a picture of me yesterday and I thought I looked like a angry boiled egg with teeth. Maybe I should use less suntan cream. I would like to look like The Rock for a day. Update on strawberry laces… the remaining 2 packs of laces arrived with my MIL. I played strawberry laces lady and the tramp spaghetti scene with everyone I met yesterday. I highly suggest this Marek!

[@lolly5453]

An angry boiled egg 🤣🤣🤣 I love that! Tho I gotta say, if your appearance is anythin like your comments, I’m sure you’re absolutely lovely and not egg-like in the slightest 😁 Thanks for giving me a little LOL with that image!!!💟

[@cdwc]

I look like an egg all the time so I can sympathise with this look. I have never looked like Kate Winslet. Once when I dressed up as a girl (for some work thing - don't worry), I was told I looked like Sally Gunnell. The downfall to your laces plan is that you have to share them with someone.

[@writingratty]

The cows were playing 'what's the time Mr Wolf.' Thank you Cool Dude, and Carlos. A most excellent video as always.

[@cdwc]

You are right cool dude. That is exactly what they were doing. Notice how Carlos always makes sure I am between him and the cows.

[@michaelwhite8031]

When l was a young man l worked on a dairy farm for a few weeks and was charged by a Jersey Bull, they are very fast. I think l broke an Olympic record getting out of that field. I would like to look like Oliver Tobias when he was in the series Lukes Kingdom.

[@cdwc]

Only people who have been chased by cows understand the terror.

[@lolly5453]

Well, that was a very tense watch! Would Carlos arrive, Would he have a moustache, Would this be the day where Marek films himself being eaten by a herd of maniac cows? Nail biting stuff, and far too much excitement for a Tuesday afternoon... So relieved you figured out that repetitive “go away” chant and the backwards walking is the perfect cow confusion tactic. Well done. You should create a walk survival guide, to include your cow avoidance techniques, plus all of the ways strawberry laces can be used in an emergency. When it comes to being a lookalike for the day, lots of celebs come to mind for a variety of reasons, but shallowness wins and I jus want to be drop dead gorgeous for a day, so I’m goin for Angelina Jolie. And maybe I’ll get to hang out with Brad Pitt too... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for another great walkin vid, marek 😁👏🏼💗

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude. I am still not sure my tactic of shouting 'Go on' would work if I was charged be a group of cows. I have also heard that you have to stamp your feet and snort.

[@rentaghost]

Aaaah the old say "hello" or head down and march past quandary 🤔 I often feel awkward when I cheerily greet fellow walkers and they just stare or mumble a hello in reply. Conversely I sometimes keep my head down and avoid eye contact and they extend a friendly "hello" and I have to guiltily return a hello over my shoulder as I've already passed them 😳 Anyway, nice one cool dude, another extremely pleasant walk #StayCool

[@cdwc]

I have stopped saying 'hello' to people on local walks, as I like the anonymity in a small village. But if ever greeted by a 'hello' I will return it, I don't have the balls of some people to stare down a 'hello' in silence.

[@rentaghost]

Usually people over 50ish will say hello to you in Wiltshire unless they think you're from London. Everyone younger is from London and won't say hello.

An excellent St. Helens reference cool dude. When I was young I had a crush on Jane Seymour, as well as Linda Carter and the evil Princess in Flash Gordon. Perhaps the most beautiful lady I ever saw was Barbara Carrera in Condorman. It was the very first film I saw at the cinema when I was 4.

I hear they are the second best compared to Scottish Hispanics. The horse had an itchy back. Glad you didnt run through the cow field. Cows love to play. If you run they run.

Ever tried using a whistle to scare off cows? I carry one on my backpack, although more for use to summon help if I was stupid enough to twist or break an ankle while on a hike. Never had cause to use it on cattle though.

(The whistle that is.)

You must be far enough away from London for people to say 'hello'. I live in Hampshire on the north west corner of the New Forest and almost everyone says 'hello' around here. There was one older gentlemen that my wife & I saw almost every day, who flatly refused to say hello to us. We decided to annoy him & persisted with our hellos. After about 6 months it seemed to wear him down & he suddenly became really friendly. Haven't seen him for a few weeks though so I hope he's OK. We are only 5 miles from the WIltshire border though and they are much weirder in that there Wiltshire. Either that or... you may be right. It may just be you!

[@stephr7637]

Those were dairy cows which don't need enticing with food to come in as they are keen to be milked. I have dairy farmers in my family and I've never seen any of them having to wave a bag of treats to get the cows to come in - they're all gathered at the gate waiting when it's milking time. Other animals like horses, goats, llamas etc. might crowd someone expecting food, often because members of the public feed them when they're not supposed to.

[@stevesvids]

@@stephr7637 the dairy cows get the food when they're in the traps hooked up to the milkers. They get a trough of food. That's why they wait at the gate. 🙂👍👋

[@stephr7637]

@@stevesvids They naturally get uncomfortable when their udders get full. Being milked provides relief. They don't necessarily get food when they're in the milking parlour and once they've been milked they're keen to get back outside.
