An amusing video has emerged of a photographer getting his equipment trapped by a herd of cows while trying to shoot pictures in a field in the Lake District, Cumbria, UK.

The pair were forced to climb onto a rock, surrounded by the cows, in an attempt to get close to the photographic kit without being trampled. They're then able to pick the gear up, which they say was worth £5,000, and escape unharmed.

The filmer, freelance photographer Richie Johnston, later wrote online: "After setting up my photography gear at Mayburgh Henge in the lake district we got chased by a heard of cattle.

"Forced to drop our gear and run we turned the camera on. We got my £5000 worth of gear back safely but not before being shunted against the rock and forced to climb it!"
