Beware sabotage on Sherwood Pines trails and approach roads

[Gixxerman]

Some of mates from the Lincolnshire Mountain Bikers group went to Sherwood Pines yesterday and suffered a puncture from the a piece of wood with screws in it (see picture). I have no doubt that this was a deliberate attempt at sabotage. Not sure if amied at MTB's or off-road trial motorbikes.

To quote the guy who "found" it:-
Was more on one of the local back roads in to Pines itself, was obviously covered in leaves and pine needles. Keep your eyes peeled.

Someone else from the same group also found something similar on the red route:-
I found some last year on red route, handed it in to the shop they let fc warden know!

Here is the link to the facebook discussion (not sure if non members will be able to see it).

What a stupid, and indiscriminate thing to do. Its only a matter of time before someone (probably the most innocent - a child or family pet) comes to grief with one of those.

Being a bit more selfish for a moment... would stans no tubes plug that?

Disgusting vigilante action by narrow minded people. Problem is these people will not get caught unless something serious happens or they don't cover their tracks.

It could be worse though. There was an issue local to us where people were tying wire between two trees at approximately neck height.

would stans no tubes plug that?

Probably if this is anything to go by

Just a point was this on a footpath or genuine trail intended for wheeled traffic ?

Either way it's reckless and cowardly behaviour.

On one of the local back roads leading to the Pines apparently, as I quoted in the OP.
But as GC siad does it really matter where it is?
