A full-scale rescue operation was launched after seven college students on a night-time orienteering trek became worried by a herd of cows.
The girls from St Albans had been tasked with using map reading skills to find their way to the nearby adventure centre they were staying in.
They contacted the centre when they came across the field of cows and coastguard, police and ambulance crews were sent to the scene, a Hertfordshire County Council spokeswoman said.
"They got to the field and realised they needed to be on the other side of it and did not want to go through it," she explained.
No-one was injured but but one teenager who complained of feeling cold was taken to hospital to be checked over by medical staff.
