Want to comment on the following anecdote from Simon ?

The stupidity and ignorance of some dog owners is beyond belief.
I was walking on the path along the shore of Rydal Water last autumn just below Loughrigg Terrace (Walks by Rydal Water) when I heard a thudding noise to my right.

I turned to look and saw a red rubber ball about the size of a cricket ball hurtling towards me and flying past my head missing me by not more than an inch.

In close pursuit of the ball was a golden Labrador bounding down the slope straight at me which I had to move sharply to get out the way of.

To my left the path dropped away sharply from a height of about two metres onto the rocky shore of the lake, had either the ball or dog made contact with me I could easily have been sent head over heels down this drop and onto the rocks below.

Two fisherman on the shore who saw what happened were completely gob smacked at what they had just seen.

I looked up to the path above to remonstrate with the people who's dog it was but they just carried on walking along as if nothing had happened.

The stupidity and ignorance of some people is beyond belief.

Send it in and we will post it in the Your Stories section of The Bunkhouse.
