There is an undulating gravel footpath at Brathay that goes from the main building to the lake. It has a 3 foot 6 inch wire fence on both sides, and is about 6 feet wide and 1/4 mile long. Yesterday there was young deer running away from me on the footpath, but the gate at the lake end was closed, and I did wonder what it was going to do. Of course it effortlessly jumped the fence - why it waited until it was almost at the gate I have no idea.
