I've been avoiding Stanmer recently due to the mud - but finished my ride there this morning as the trails were all lovely and frozen solid

Someone has laid loads of obstacles out on the trail near the top (on the non-big dog side) known as Buzz Lightyear on Strava.

Big logs, bits of the wall etc. They have also made a bit of mess of the 2nd log bridge thing over a fallen tree.

I cleared the worst of it - but had no time to fix the log bridge

The other trails I rode seemed clear - but someone took quite a lot of time to do this and moved some pretty heavy stuff - so there is a good chance the will be back to make more of a mess

Was out today, lots of logs around, most just a minor hinderance. I cleared as many as I could, left a few that add interest to the ride.
However, there were some big logs at the bottom of drops and in the landing zone for jumps - I cleared them but be very careful out there.

PS - I saw a couple of dogs around but no owner, I wonder if I caught someone in the act who was hiding?

Was a huge log/part of a tree across Fairy Picnic last night, too.

I cleared it.

Crazy behaviour, I totally understand people might get a bit miffed with some riders, but to intentially cause serious harm is just madness, was happening up on north downs near marden park woldingham for a while, I assumed it was for the mini motorbikes that were popular a few years back.
