Today's find was several large cannabis plants dumped on a local byway.
A fairly obscure chance of ever stumbling across something like that, but that is the second time it has happened to me!
Probably a bin liner's worth today, but last time about 5 bin liner's worth!
What obscure things have you lot stumbled across?
How was the harvest?
Haha, I'm not falling for that one!
I was once climbing up a steep hill breathing out my arse , Looked at the side of the road and saw what looked like an inflatable dildo at the side of the road.
It was a bit out the way so many a local dogging spot .
I was green lane riding once on my trail motorcycle with some friends in south Devon. At the top of a steep byway we found a massive pink rubber cock complete with suction mount. It was quite a way from a tarmac road so the mind boggles how it got there.
My friend duct taped it to his front fender for the rest of the day 😂
Oh and I found a fruit machine from a pub by a fire road in Thetford Forest once. I put 20p in but didn’t get 3 lemons or anything
I've also found a large pink rubber dick (and a very uncomfortable looking bloke in a nearby Vauxhall Corsa) at Castell Coch (a very well known dogging spot on the outskirts of Cardiff). Also found a big pile of porn mags in the middle of the Syfydrin trail at Nant y Arian. Oh, nearly forgot Dr Who's Tardis on a night ride at Castell Coch too.
an ancient geezer taking a photos of two ladies dressed as bride and groom while wearing vampire fangs & makeup... a green budgie, he appeared in the torch light & was transported home in someones pack.
Not particularly strange, but I found a pair of Oakley Scuderia Ferrari sun glasses in the long grass at the side of the road at Cwmcarn about 4 years ago. They were filthy so had obviously been there for a while. They cleaned up nicely and apart from a small scratch on one lens were perfect and are still my summer riding glasses.
A riding mate of mine told me that a few years ago he was carting over our local “hack out for a few hours” route and when descending a small hill knew a couple of “bomb holes” were coming up.
What he didn’t expect was to find a number of gentlemen “in flagrante”
My mate stayed on the trail, raised a finger and announced “all right lads, it’s a nice day for it” and carted on.
If we can bend the rules to allow road riding, a couple of years ago I found a very lacy black thong halfway up a short steep climb early one Sunday morning.
A couple of years ago I encountered a bunch of LARPers just off the track. They were waving swords about and seemed dressed for Lord of the Rings as there seemed to be a lot of prosthetic ears about. I didn't stop to check in case the swords weren't plastic
On a track in Donside, NE Highlands: A recently discarded skin from an adder.
In the local woods I saw a wallaby stood at the end of the trail, it wasn't particularly scared and hopped off into the woods as my friend chased it trying to get a photo.
A film crew for League of Gentleman, another film crew for Outlander and a Peter May novel are my unusual finds.
Castell Coch (a very well known dogging spot on the outskirts of Cardiff).
What else would it be with a name like that?
Have happened across a few shaggers and what I think was the preamble to a porn film being shot in Delamere forest. Nothing terribly exciting.
Many years ago I was climbing up alongside the railway on Tunnel Hill one summer's evening when I happened upon a gentleman who seemed to be choking. I don't know what on, but it seemed quite severe because the man assisting him seemed to be doing the Heimlich manoeuvre on him with some vigour. Sufficient vigour indeed because it seemed to have made both their trousers fall down.
It obviously worked because when they heard me coming (erm, approaching) they recovered and ran further into the undergrowth.
In the same sort of area, on a trail round the back of the army houses at the top of Porridgepots the trail points direct at one of the houses, and one night a young army wife was at the top window in the twilight pulling the curtains in quite a racy little bra. She must have seen me, even given the lighting standardfs of the day but made not attempt to hide or pull the curtain. I still think of that trail as 'Voyeurs' although it's never happened again. Despite me regularly camping out in the bushes with my binoculars.
Quidich being played when I was riding past Tooting Common??
Also saw this on a Uni open day.
Seen loads of cosplay shite up Woburn over the years; whatever floats ya boat.
Did a bridleway climb at night and found a horse on it half way up which had got out of a field somewhere, it guided me all the way up and buggered off down a lane. Odd.
Left the pub near the ridgeway with my riding mates and two walkers followed us out a bit pissed. Turns out they were walking the Ridgeway from Ivinghoe to Wiltshire and got a bit carried away a few miles in - would be a long night for them.
Doggers. Not a pretty sight at all.
Found and seen loads:
Naked ramblers
Couples (off all combinations) 'enjoying' each other
Porn bundles
Sex toys
A pool table half way up Pen Y Fan
Hundreds of burned out/stolen cars
Film shoots in random places
Nothing really surprises me these day really, especially after driving vans at night. You see some really odd things then!
..at Castell Coch (a very well known dogging spot on the outskirts of Cardiff)..
Found that out the first time I went night riding up there after I'd moved to Cardiff. I now just avoid the car park if I go that way in the darkness.
Whenever anyone mentions it's reputation I can't help but remember the outcry from the dogging, druggie and prostitute fraternity when Bike Park Wales was announced, Gethin Woods was their local spot and the local riders of the original DH trails there knew to be out of the car park before sunset unless you wanted to join in!
preamble to a porn film
Yep, this in Wharncliffe some years ago. One bloke, two women, a camcorder and three shell suits, heading in to the woods at dusk. Somewhat surprised to see bike lights coming towards them.
Came across this in the middle of nowhere.

Realllly Walter?
String quartet practicing in a forest clearing, Clandeboye Estate NI.
Two men at it, one in drag, Cathkin Braes Glasgow.
Billy Connolly out for a walk, North Down NI.
Not a weird object but I found a seatclamp in the middle of the local woods, seemed an odd thing to lose while riding.
Rode through a halloween party in the pentlands once, got chased by a werewolf
Obscure trail mid summer and a couple at it in the field next to trail.
Also rode into a film set, all roads closed but they didn't close bridleway...morning
Nazi checkpoint for some ww2 reenactment meet still probably my best.
Nowt while riding. But I once came across a dildo..........as in found. While strimming an area of waste land when I worked for council garden team. There was three vehicles of us all parked in a line with windows open so we could chat at lunch time. The dildo had made its way to the far end vehicle when one of the guys there launched it back to me in the vehicle at the opposite end. It passed through the middle vehicle like a missile and landed in my bag of chips. I lost my appetite.
As someone else above, found a fruit machine in local woods while working. It had been robbed from a local pub and taken there to be emptied.
Stayed in the camper van in a car park near a North East seaside town. Wondered why the other vans all had little electric candles in the window. Went to the pub to be told it was a well know dogging site and the candle campers were regulars. Locked the doors and put the lights out early that night.
Woman giving oral to a man about 100m from a reasonably well used forest car park. I mean seriously, show some imagination. They were very embarrassed and appeared to be amateurs.
Going fast on a single track in the woods near my house, I had to cycle very close to a couple having sex.. she was holding onto the tree and he was taking her from behind with his pants down.
I couldn’t go any other way so I ended up hitting him in the arse with my bar as I went past.
Strangest thing I ever found while out on a ride was a small patrol harbour with several Gurkhas sorting their admin. I think we surprised each other.
Jesus, so has anyone counted the amount of dildos found in this thread?!
Not biking, but I used to do a lot of metal detecting and dug up a huge pink dildo about a foot down on a ploughed field.
It was my the best find of the day from memory.
Wasn't Roman or anything though.
Possibly Elizabethan.
I once found Iainc upright on his bike. Unreal.
A couple of years ago I encountered a bunch of LARPers just off the track. They were waving swords about and seemed dressed for Lord of the Rings as there seemed to be a lot of prosthetic ears about. I didn’t stop to check in case the swords weren’t plastic
Every Sunday (at least, every Sunday in the before times) you'd get loads of fat knackas parking like arseholes, dressed up in stupid costumes to play with their toys in Chopwell Wood. There would also be medieval LARP'ers having fun with swords and axes, too.
Travellers boxing ring.
A Ouija board.
An antique looking Safe. (Reported that one)
I found a maxle quick release handle on a dry stone wall at the top of a long climb in the lakes.
One of the guys with us was missing the exact same part and was having to do it up/ take it off with pliers, so he was pleased.
He’d lost his in Oxfordshire.
That’s all.
I ended up hitting him in the arse with my bar
‘bar’ 🧐😉

I can beat that...
Riding over Woodbury Common LARPers are a relatively common sight.
One day I was riding near a group which contained a few dressed as Orcs, full rubber masks and all, I said 'morning, nice day for it.' as you do.
A couple of them started running towards me, which was a bit weird, I though I was about to be kidnapped and taken to Isengard.
They started shouting 'Mr H, Mr H.' turned out it was a couple of my nicer, but nerdier students!
When I was in my early 20's and living in West Yorkshire we had a DH trail that went through a dogging site next to a certain dam. It was hilarious bombing through the wood surprising couples ****ing up against trees.
Once found (conservative estimate) c3-500 used condoms about 10 feet away from a B road in fife. ^^^^^^^ not, in any way, an exaggeration.
A mate and i were looking for somewhere to set up a fire and shoot the breeze with coffee etc.
We went somewhere else, as there were so many condoms we didn’t dare take a step without looking to avoid anything sticking to feet.
We went back later, (it was on the way home) and sure enough there were at least 3 couples ‘busy’ at the side of the road.
A quick google suggests it’s one of the top dogging sites in my area.
Didn’t see any dildos though.
Years back I worked the summer as a bike guide. A group of eight of us somewhere near Zillertal. Rode down towards a hut, rounded the corner and there was a woman e with her trousers down riding a fella. We all have a cheery Hallo and carried on.
Bavarian alps. Riding with a mate. Got to the end of the trail and we went down to the river where we saw a naked lady posing and an old man taking photos.

Back in the UK, riding back from the pub and stopped off for a smoke and to watch the sunset. Half light. Missed the usual turnoff and carried on along the path and discovered the local gay cruising spot. Needles to say I never missed the turn again.
@op
Today’s find was several large cannabis plants dumped on a local byway.
Maybe it was these guys....
Disappointingly little, given the amount of time I've spend riding
Highlights are
A load of porn dumped at the top of barely legal in hebden bridge.
A few doggers here and there.
A naked rambler at the top of Gatesgarth pass
Nobody actually shagging.
No dildos.
Blood-soaked knife on a very rarely used bridleway on a night ride; took it to the nearest farm and gave it to the guy in the house who had no idea where it came from (or was a very cool knife murderer) and called plod the next morning
I'm now wondering having read most of the finds in this thread if it wasn't someone's terrible choice of emergency dildo
Once found a single scuba diving fin in the woods, long way from the sea..................
