Be Careful at Scribblies

Just heard a recent report from one of the local walkers finding the trail booby trapped with sharpened sticks in a few places where people could get some air. Apparently the walker felt it was so bad they reported it to the police. So a big thanks to that chap!

I don't know when this happened but apparently this was recently done. Thought it was worth passing on.

There have been a few other things over the years, got to wonder whether it is the same people?

So basically keep your eyes open if you ride there and maybe take it a little easier if you are the first one around.

Good one Mark, and big props to the walker for letting us know, this is disturbing, booby trapping is very bad, love to get my hands on the person who is doing that, vandalising is one thing, but wanting to hurt someone is another, not good!

Is it not just the local "growers" looking to get some easy blood & bone fertiliser for their crops? Eye-wink

Seriously though, that is pretty bloody crap! I remember things like this used to happen up at Glenrock year ago, with all sorts of booby traps being laid by one particular guy. They did actually catch him, and he was charged with intent to maim, or something similar...

Keep it careful up there!

Hmmmm. You may be on to something Giles. He did comment on the Gazette site about trails in the area.
