I saw a Freddie mercury lookalike, complete with leather cap and trousers being a mono-sexual in bournemouth. You know what I mean.

He was not expecting to be lit up by a speeding bike with lights.

I heard that one group in north Wales came a cross a man with a video camera on one side of the trail, and his wife stretched out on a fur coat the other side . They whizzed through. The whole group probably made it into their special home movie.

A few weeks ago - amazingly - some two-dimensional, paper-based grot - I didn't think that existed any more due to t'internet. Said grot was in poor condidition due to the rain, but even so it brought back lovely childhood memories of discovering grot stashes down the gravel pits as a kid. Happy days.

I came across an 'adult photo shoot' once when riding in Sutton Park with my mum and my aunt!

And not something I found but more the situation. A week after watching The Blair Witch me and a couple of mates got lost in Cannock Chase with no lights at twilight, it soon got dark and we were shifting ourselves. We ended up walking for two hours before getting to Lichfield. We were bloody releaved to see street lights.

On a nightride with a bloke called snakebite and someone else over Cannock Chase we saw a fixed light where it should have been darkness so we decided to ride over and see what was going on.

We found a very young and nervous copper standing guard over a scenes of crime with police tape marking an area with a gazebo type tent. After some chat it turned out to be suspected human remains. Cakebite then proceeded to tell a totally inappropriate joke before we departed. They dropped me on the next climb where i got the he be je be's!

It made the news the following day.

Lots of men walking around on their own up clent hills at dusk in the summer. If you watched from the top every now and then two would meet and disappear into the undergrowth.

In the wyre rode past a bloke in one of the car parks who seemed to be in mid stroke with his partner or friend watching from the car. Though why she not assisting and carried on.

Riding the cliff top path from Milford on Sea to Barton on Sea in Hampshire one summer evening I once came across a man striding purposefully along the path playing a set of bagpipes.

Not while on a bike but while out fishing the Trent at Newark I came across a bloke that had hung himself about a month before , luckily it was january otherwise I would have smelt him before I saw him, im still wary when out in woods on the bike that I may find similar- it never leaves you that sight

Riding once over The Coppice, a notorious dogging spot on a hill above Accrington with two lads from Cycle Chat. There's the stone base of an old monument and bending over it was a ghastly chavvy fat bint with a backside like uncooked pastry, pants around her ankles and a young gentleman standing behind her pleasuring them both. As we cycled past, eyes averted in embarrassment, she turned around and screeched; "Eh you ****ers, you comin' over for some?"

As we rode away down the hill we met two other young gentlemen walking up a few minutes apart, both looking shifty and guessed they were the next in line..... ugh!

On my local circuit there is this small wooden bridge at the bottom of quite a long steep hill over a stream in the woods. This girl was bent over with her fella behind giving her one! They saw me coming from a distance and then pretended to "hug". I blasted past and shouted go on son! I looked behind and only the girl was smiling back! Fit aswell!

Like the OP I once found a zombie costume crucified between two trees accross the trail.

Saw it from a distance at night and assumed it was just some signage reflecting my lights.

Propperly shart myself!

Didn't help that there must have been hundreds of deer in the (fairly small) woods, so wherever I looked there were eyes staring back at me for the rest of the ride.

Swinley give's me the heebiejeebies at night on my own, especialy knwoing Broadmoor is just over the wall! Wasn't there an STW'er in the woods the night Wolfman escaped?

There are some weird people around, for sure.

If it hadn't been for Graham Kendrick and his mates messing everything up most of those superstitious types woud still be safely corralled in churches enjoying a bit of Latin gobbledegook and mystery.

I think I've seen that bike on the monkey at Cannock. Is it a really old red rigid raleigh?
I've only seen it once and when I cycled past it I imagined some fat chav bringing that thing all the way up to cannock to ride the trails then getting so p'ed off with it and his lack of fitness that he abandoned it half way round and walked back to his car.

Guess what you would always find on the Porno trail in 50 Acre, Bristol? Loads of the things and it seemed frequently updated.

Bloke with a parrot on this shoulder in Leigh Woods.

Years back night riding in Leigh Woods came across a tramp camping in the woods. Scared the shit out of me as he glared through the trees. I made a very fast exit.

The oddest thing I ever found on a ride was six Gurkahs setting up their bivi's on either side of the singletrack I was on..... I felt quite rude hammering past them.

I've not visited the Cannock Chase Hoisery shrine for a while.

Saw proper Army guys looking for the IRA many years ago.

Also watched a porn shoot, I guess we found it interesting but not as good as youd imagine.

Plenty of grot inc German fetish DVDs.

Mate found a slick-lips, reckoned he didnt try it.

That was indeed rather odd. Happened across another medieval recreation group when I was in Oxford a week or so back.

There is a Knicker tree in Blidworth woods. A famous dogging spot so often came "groups" always find it a little weird tbh.

We've found a skull, and two of us cam across about 15 young ladies around a camp fire in school uniforms, erm "experimenting" in various positions.

No we didn't join in, just rode away quickly to avoid a "Lycra" moment.

I remember passing thru some kind of saxons versus normans affair. One of them was obviously designated as safety officer: at his cry of 'cyclist coming through' all hostilities ceased & there was a clatter of fallen weaponry. The geekery was off-the-scale (i.e. approaching mountain biker levels).

I rode through a [i]Casualty[/i] shoot in Leigh Woods one night - a bunch of ambulances, arc lights & misc emergency types, with people screaming at me to stay clear. I work for the NHS, and - for a moment - I still thought it was the real thing. 😳

Rode through a Merlin shoot once in Ashridge/ ivinghoe beacon 🙂 Me and my cousin were riding a footpath in the hills near chequers when none other than the prime minister David Cameron happened to be out for a stroll with a few casually dressed body guards! We quickly pulled of the path and let him walk past with a smile and a wave 🙂
