INCIDENT 23/2021 – MAY 30TH SUN. 08.08 – MEALBANK QUARRY, INGLETON, NORTH YORKSHIRE – ANIMAL INCIDENT

Having waited five days for a sheep to leave its ledge and wander up the quarry face to graze the field at the top, a farmer called for help. A small team lowered one member down to the ledge with a bag of sheep-nuts in one hand and a large canvas sack in the other. The shaking of the bag seemed to remind the sheep that it was hungry and, as it didn’t like the look of its ‘rescuer’ or the sack, it scrambled rapidly up to the field at the top, to resume its grazing.
