"There s no barbed wire," said Wendy Lamport, looking along the<br >hedgerow.<br > "That s something, I suppose," said her companion, Gordon<br >Briggs, grudgingly. He was verging on late middle age and difficult<br >about almost everything.<br > "And," she said, looking over into the field, "not a bull in sight."<br > "I should hope not," responded Gordon Briggs roundly.<br >"There s a bylaw about bulls in fields in Calleshire. It s illegal to<br >have a bull more than twelve months old in any field in the county<br >containing a public footpath."<br > "No warning notices, either, that I can see," carried on the girl,<br >completing her survey of the terrain before them.<br > "Warning notices," pronounced Briggs pedantically, "have no<br >significance whatsoever in relation to public footpaths and rights<br >of way. You should know that by now, Wendy."<br > "Yes, Gordon." Wendy Lamport nodded. She had heard him say<br >it time and time again. "It doesn t stop them trying it on, though,<br >does it?" she added.<br > "Landowners can put what they like on notice-boards," de-<br >clared Briggs, adding militantly, "but they can t keep us out."<br > "Let them try, that s all," said Wendy Lamport loyally. "Just let<br >them try."<br > "That s the spirit," said Gordon Briggs.<br > It might have been the spirit behind the Berebury Country<br >Footpaths Society but their actual rallying cry was more ambigu-<br >ous. "Every walk a challenge" was the motto printed under the<br >masthead on their writing paper. The challenge, though, was not<br >usually to the walker. The gauntlet was thrown down in front of<br >the luckless owners of the land over which they proposed to walk.<br >If, that is, those owners of the land happened to have an official<br >public footpath or right of way running over it.<br >
