This morning we were working with a youth group in Tairgwaith, helping them to create a short documentary about their local area and its history. We decided to walk to the various locations in the village as the sun was shining and we'd get eco-brownie points for our lack of carbon emissions (although its a 40 mile round trip to Tairgwaith itself...). We made our way towards the church, deep in conversation (which mainly consisted of doctor who and quad biking?!) and blissfully unaware of the danger that was lurking ahead...Rounding the corner we began to climb the hill which runs past a small farm, when suddenly we heard a strange rumbling sound. We froze, paralysed with fear, I heroically placed myself in front of the group, offering myself as a sacrifice to the unknown terror hurtling towards us...I caught a glimpse of the beasts in between various scenes from life that were flashing before my eyes, we were being hunted by a
flock of chickens!
Luckily for us they were reasonable (for a bunch of killer wildfowl) and allowed us to pass unharmed after we explained that we worked for the digital community network, as they were firm believers that digital technology should accessible to everyone! Who would have guessed! I have included some pictoral evidence of our ordeal, although those of a nervous disposition may wish to look away...
