Rode Stanmer today and whilst i know most of the trails there, i found "something" today which surprised/confused me. Just after the really techy trail which ends at the fire road just before reaching the open bit where the telegraph pole is, i decided that arther than go and do my normal route, i'd scope out the hillside directly down from the afformentioned techy trail.
As i meandered through the undergrowth i got to an old wall which if ollowed left. After about 150 yards i saw a bombhole which had a tree felled over it whichformed a nice arc. Someone had constructed some shore onto the tree and off it. I.e, a wide(ish) skinny up to it whcih was chickenwired, and the another one off it. The planks were all sprayed black and didn't seem to have been there very long. Judging by the paint on it i'd say no more than a few days.
Just wondrered if anyone out there knew anything about this. Was this a planned part of the Big Dog that was decided against at the last moment, or the begginings of a new trail?
