Rode to Guildford today. Nice ride. Just a pleasant pootle, but why oh why do people have to do this?

Whoever did that had to reverse 200 yards or more up that narrow track.
I mean, really??
(I have already reported it)
[i]It takes a special sort of person to do thai[/i]
thank goodness that was a typo.
Anything that looks like it has an address on it?
Words fail me.
wwaswas, typo corrected! 🙂
Well spotted though, I corrected that in seconds!
I like the fence - cheers the place up a bit
I had a quick root round but it was just general litter, nothing with anything printed as far as I could see
Seems quite a nice bike to have flytipped.
Paste this into google maps and that's where it was, give or take a few yards

Like I care?
😉
wont mention it again
Thnaks!
yeah there's a track near me that gets this a lot. keep meaning to get council number and phone it but never do.
problem is that getting of rubbish is now really expensive. a lot/most of it is dumped by dodgy tradespeople i.e. someone pays lots of money to get rid of their waste and the bloke takes and dumps it for free somewhere like this. easy money. then we all pay for the council to clear it up (contractors could i guess even be same guys, which would be even worse!). pisses me off too.
send pics to local paper - someone may recognise soemthing.
local bloke to me just got done after someone saw rubbish they paid him to take away fly tipped.
That looks to me like an attempt to block the route to non-footists (pedestrian sized gap on one side of the "fence") which someone has later poured rubbish all over (rubbish is all on one side of the "fence").
nah just a palette that was on top, reverse far enough up lane to be out of sight, quick look around, then shove it all out back and off you go, easy peasy, kaching. not much chance of getting caught 'specially if it wasn't your stuff.
No mate, nothing like that. It's rubbish tipped out of the back of a transit tipper or similar, plain and simple.
I think that track is a byway of some sort. Bridleway at least, it's a horsey area.
that's a lot of red bull, you sure it's not an attempt at a jump by some local surrey dh-ers?
Peter, I think you need to get all CSI and do a character profile of the tipper.
Likes Red bull.
Does a bit of building work.
Does not have a stove ( no stove owner would chuck that pallet)
Carbon dating on those bricks and find out what age of house they came from .
Is that a cat food tin?.
Some DNA from the orange rubbish bag and you will start to see a pattern .
Good luck,I know you can do it 🙂
i.e. a builder.
you can also look for a white van with mud in the back.. easy!
Friend of mine has a big problem with fly tipping in a lay-by opposite his drive. One day a two seater sofa appeared but the tipper had not noticed an envelope with his address had fallen in the back of it. My mate usually reports the tipper if he finds evidence but this time he'd had enough I reckon. He paid a fiver to put an advert in the local paper " Recycling day - bring your unwanted fridges, furniture, electrical goods etc. to (fly tippers address) Saturday 15th and we will dispose of them for you - cash paid for your unwanted scrap"
We drove past on the allotted day - to say there was a bit of a commotion going on is an understatement!
fasthaggis: You're missing the most basic technique.
Dust the cans for prints then run them through a database.
Where was it Peter? I often find fly tipping on the NDW when I ride into Guildford.
Personally, I would like to partially disembowel flytippers and leave them scrabbling around on the ground enduring a slow painful death surrounded by their own filth - partially from the tipping and partly from their semi eviscerated colons.
Have I been brooding about this in too much detail?

excellent work.. 😀
Although a bit of a nuisance if the fly tipper was just getting rid of the sofa for an innocent third party.. 😯
I agree PP,absolutely shocking.
Who in their right minds would combine white forks and an orange frame with red pedals.
Nightmare getting alot more common these days its all over the place.Saw some just of the road up near Castleton the other week when i was on hols.Then some on the Ridgeway.What i see afair bit now is alot wires in these long black rubber tubes.Saw some in the Cotswolds Saturday where i live then the other week same things in the Forest of Dean dont know what they are inless they are the old broadband cables been dug up??
Worst 'show off bike in garden' pic ever.
Shocking
Is that on Christmas Pie?
Some people will go to great lengths to defend their Strava KOM
Bit of work, that could be shaped into a nice tabletop.

No. Chrismas Pie trail. There's numbers above, bung 'em into Google maps to find out exactly where.
