We have times when the locals get militant at LW too, most of the time it’s just a simple matter of jumping over the branch / log but occasionally it’s a bit worse and I have 22 stitches in my calf where I got caught out.

A few months back and old wire mesh fence had been pulled of it’s posts (it had colapsed to knee height and had been like that 5+ years) they had then wrapped the mesh across one of the really fast part of the trail between two trees.

I spent a good 40 minutes untangling it all, dragging it back to the fenceline and then wrapping it back around the posts. Came back 3 days later and it was across the trail again…..going to carry pliers next time I’m out.

I don’t understand these kind of people. Do we need to play them at their own game? Maybe when you next disassemble the wire mesh you should electrify it as well 👿

Seriously though, I hope you reported it to the police. Some of these examples are extremely serious and extremely dangerous.
