Have been for a pedal around on the common and noticed a lot of smallish trees have been pulled over arkwardly to partially block paths etc (particually the best ones to ride). Is directly aimed at stopping bikers?
Just be warned if you're over there not to go hacking it down there too quick without checking the line is clear!

Probably no malicious intention towards bikers.... just Chavies. |

Could be chavs but seemed almost too strategically placed (blind corner before ditch)...
Speaking of the common is anyone interested in clearing some new lines before the undergrowth kicks off again?

Have a couple of single-hit gaps in mind (probably more for the full suss). Might go there this week before it gets too rainy again.

Picking up an old topic here but just to warn people who use the Tunny Wells common I hit a strategically placed log in a flat out corner this morning and used my head/arm as a brake. Maybe best to walk sections before riding them?
