Yeah, saw this on the Saddleworth Mountain Rescue facebook feed and shared it.
I’ve lived in Saddleworth pretty much all my life, and until recently had never seen any deliberate obstacle/booby trap making. I was nearly caught out on Shadworth Lane (near the Royal George/Dysarts Arms) a couple of weeks back by a small ‘wall’ that was built across the track, being as this is a bridleway it seemed like a deliberate attempt to cause injury/stop use. Fortunately even though it was dark I had my portable sunshine on max and spotted in in time to stop, remove the obstacle and carry on…
I don’t ride and never have done in the plantation they’re on about, but I do run in there with the dog, so will be more vigilant now!
I hope it stops too now there’s been publicity, but I fear not.
