On Saturday, March 26 my husband I and our German Shepherd went to Notgrove, near Bourton On The Water, and were trying to find Guiting Power Woods.

We missed the parking in Guiting Power but spotted a sign that said Wardens Way which looked ideal a bridleway with lovely views.

We saw a person with a red jacket riding a horse. Then a quad bike with two riders came down the bridleway, looked at us and went after the horsewoman.

I was speaking on my mobile to my daughter when two Land Rovers came speeding down the bridleway and forced us to leap out of the way. Each had at least two men inside, who glared at us. We were terrified and turned back to towards our car (I was still on the phone.)

Then we were blocked in by two quad bikes, again with two people on each.

Later, we saw horses and riders, plus the pack of foxhounds, coming back up the bridleway and I realised we could have been mistaken for hunt monitors.

I contacted the Cirencester Police, who passed it on to Stow on the Wold police.

They said they couldn't do anything about it, which I can understand as I didn't have a registration of the vehicles.

So, a word of warning if you're visiting such a lovely part of the countryside. It could have been children or elderly people on that track vehicles with engines aren't supposed to go along there. We certainly won't be going back there in a hurry.
