continued from the previous post...
The men were getting tried keeping the sheep going in the right direction...as they moved down a steep hill, some of the men stumbled - some of the sheep in the lead made a break for it..
Two small groups of sheep headed off away, some men followed trying to catch them ....
They chased them ....
One group got away....
The sheep proved difficult to keep together as they crossed the rough ground ...
The other wayward group were caught up with on the hill and then easily moved downhill towards the camp ...
As they headed rounded the edge of the hill another group got away....
and then moved back towards the rest as the men chased them ....
It looked like they had the sheep under control....
The sheep decided otherwise and three more lagging behind made a break for it ....
The rest were taken towards the camp without incident...
Four men chased the breakaway group, but the sheep got further away as the vikings tired ....
The sheep came to a halt on the next hill.... the saxons who had been tracking the vikings emerged out of a small clump of trees loosing a few arrows at the vikings ...
One of the vikings was killed, the rest ran off towards the camp with arrows whizzing past them ...
At the viking camp the sheep have been penned up ....
Extra sentries were posted nearer the camp after the little encounter with the saxons. A saxon watches from a small clump of trees...
The saxon leaves and heads back to report the location of the viking camp.....
