And the designer even considered having a fake stomach fitted to let him to eat grass, just like his four-legged friends.
He told Mashable:
"My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future."He said
"I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometre or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust.
"So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit.
"But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying. Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock."
Thwaites has written a book about his experiences, called ‘GoatMan; How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’.
