At the start of the zig zagy down hill (some times refered to as Sidewinder), person or persons unknown has been scattering roofing tacks.
I removed all the ones I could see, but know telling how many there where
or if the perpetrator(s) will be back to scatter a few more.
Ha that took a few seconds to understand what you were saying there.
I'm going to be riding that track later I think. Do you mean the woods between birdlip and cranham? The track that leads from that mound (The shrine?) down to the entrance of the sawmill?
Or am I way out on my understanding of where you mean?

No much further down towards Craham Corner.

ah ha, I know the area you mean now, I think I call it the wall, the one which goes over, and next to the dry stone wall. I shall keep my eyes out for anything nasty, thanks very much for the heads up
The track we refer to as "The Wall" is much further up
gird ref SO886135, off of the 'Gloucestershire Way'.
You do know it's a prime area for fly-tippers.
I am twigging that the new land owners (if it's been sold yet?) are probably getting wise to the fact that they are getting bombarded with bikers.
Not that that's the real problem here.
Personnally i am a little concerned by the jumps that have appeared by the Shrine. Very obvious and completely against the rules set by English Nature. I really don't want Buckholt to end up like Popes wood. It'll only end up with bans, and blockades on the trails.

Amen to that brother.
It's quite nice how it starts off natural (Buckholt road) to the man-made (Popes wood) section.
But I am also in the agreement that Buckholt road's parralel trail has been in need of spicing up for the last 10years in terms of a few lips and berms etc, - not to mention a good tidying up.
no problem with berms, even small blended jumps, just the appearance of 2-3ft high constructed jumps is, IMO, far to obvious. And there is always what the new owner intends to contend with.
