I arrived in the area at about 13.00 & unusually decided to find the cattle first. The GPS collar may was showing them in K4 in a position that I was unable to access due to deep gorse and very wet ground. During the 50 minutes that I looked for them they moved only slightly within K4/K5/J5 area, according to the GPS collar map. I was not able to see them from either the main tracks to the N or S of where they were. I also managed to get into I5, where despite calling they failed to show.
I then went looking for the ponies and after about 40 minutes having covered/circumnavigated most of the area, I had seen none of them. I returned to the Ammo Dump area and eventually found 7 of them in C7. These all seemed well 3 or four coming over for some strokes on the neck, as they generally headed NE into D7 & D6. I managed to find the 8th pony (v dark with white rear off-side lover leg and faint white stripe on nose). This is usually the lease interactive pony with me. She was deep in gorse and appeared ok as she grazed. She was about 200 yards from the rest of the group, but was showing no inclination to move.
I checked the GPS again, but the cattle were still being shown as still being in the same inaccessable, (for me) area.
