It seems that somebody or group has taken it upon themselves to place large braches and piles of woods on the old trails in the main part of Leigh Woods. I do not think this is the ranger as I would have expected him/them to not have pulled down and even snap growing trees to block the trails. We first noticed this on Sunday and during our ride on Tuesday night the process seems to now be more widespread and growing to more and more trails.

This is making the trails dangerous and should be ridden with care if you really do feel the need. I would say that if you are going to ride the older trails than ride the ones further over (from the Leigh Woods car park over to wards the Picnic bench and on towards the Rail way Arches).

If you seen anyone doing this then stay calm and remind them that it could cause somebody serious injury and unless it is a Forestry commission Ranger then also remind them that they have no rights to do it and then could be causing more damage than not.

Thanks
