how to avoid the farmer

[duds]

can anybody tell me where is the farmer who does not like pilgrims, and how to avoid his farm

Not too specific......any more details?

I have only found one, but that was when we descended the wrong road from O Cebriero. We saw a farmer in front of his house, and said that we were a bit lost, and could we fill our water bottles? He said were indeed lost, and that we should think before heading down a road. Maybe being thirsty would make us smarter. I would avoid that guy.

Even worse - don't chase after the Farmer's Wife, who'll cut of your shell with a carving Knife :!:

....was walking this afternoon across a field, & was getting quite close to this very funny looking cow; oh no it's got a very shinney ring in its nose; who needs a farmer when you've got a bull; slowly tried to walk around as we did dog & I he turned his head around to us &, you could almost hear him saying to himself you are lucky I've had my 'oats' today' :lol:

not to worry about that note in the guide, the route is well-marked and you don't cross any angry farmer's fields!

I've never run into the angry farmer but I do have a kind farmer story.

Last year on the Camino Primitivo, I got lost and wandered a few kilometers until I ran into a farmer. He walked me down the road and then he opened his gate and told me to cut across his land and I would pick up the Camino on the other side.

As he was closing the gate behind me he said, "Cuidado, hay toro" (Be careful,there's a bull). There indeed was bull and gave him wide berth and chuckled to myself the entire short cut. I'm a city guy and I'm not really sure how to deal with an angry bull!

Jeff:

I am curious. Where were you when you got lost? How far was the shortcut across the field?

Thanks for the PM.
