Weird stuff on the trails

Apart from the usual trail debris of reflectors, lights, tubes, gloves, jerseys, bottles, glasses, maps, tools, chains and RS rebound adjusters 
Cannock has a pink bra, a barbeque set, night-time dog sledge racing and occasional porn shoots, as well as these which were alongside the trail a few years ago:
What's the weirdest thing you've seen while you were out?

I once heard a couple "going at it" it seems, but haven't actually "seen" anything particularly odd.
Oh, apart from a load of hippies tripping out in Coed y Brenin forest once

I've seen a few cows going at it, found a few used condoms in a pile next to a jersey.0

I once cycled into some weirdo hippies dressed as fauns and other weird mythical creatures making some music video. They got all arsey saying "oi we're try shoot a music video". There was no signs or anything how was I supposed to know? :? Anyway they freaked me out enough for me to quickly sprint away ....0

A guy with some kind of bullpup design rifle (sounded like an air rifle), taking potshots at something in a stream. He tried to hide it as I went by, and I didn't really want to stop for a better look.0

I've never seen a bullpup air rifle, I can't imagine there would be much call for one. Which makes what you saw all the more worrying :shock:0

A cow skeleton, and a bottle of what appeared to be octopus :shock:0

Yeah, it could've just been silenced. Hopefully, it was an airsoft gun or something though.
I heard a few months later that there'd been quite a few sightings by dog walkers of a nutter who seemed to think he was Rambo, and it was possibly the same guy. As soon as he noticed anyone coming, he'd leap into a bush or some long grass as if they hadn't seen him, but in general he was laughably noticeable. Nothing bad ever happened to any people, pets or livestock, so I think he was either relatively harmless, or got picked up before he did anything really stupid.0 -
I saw a shoe last week. Not too weird but how do you not notice you have only one shoe on? I understand people like to time themselves and get in the zone, but not stopping to pick your shoe up to shave a few seconds off your lap time is a bit extreme?0

Our group burst forth from a bit of forest into a layby to find a couple mid oral.... she sat up very surprised and embarrased - in the glare of 5 sets of night lights. There were no shadows in that car for them to hide in 8) We were waiting for the rest of the group to catch up so were there for a few minutes much to their horror.
And I've seen the pink bra at cannock too0 -
once saw a guy filming a woman doing it doggy style...with a dog. :shock:0
-
theres half a mannequin, waist up, down in idless woods in cornwall, that was off putting first time i went past her,0
-
similarly i once saw what looked like the bottom half of a body sticking out from under a bush on and old derelict industrial site, approached, and turned out to be a pair of waders.0

I was once riding along a ridge. A few hundred yards up ahead was a gate, through which a rambler had just passed.
As I got nearer, I could see he was wearing a backpack, shoes, no shirt.
He stopped for some reason.
As I approached the gate & dismounted, I suddenly realised the guy also had no trousers, shorts, or any form of underwear on.
Totally starkers other than shoes and backpack :shock:
I didn't hang around to exchange pleasantries...0 -

I came across a deer that appeared to think it was a cow, which was strange. Was cycling through a cow field and noticed that a deer was among them, and then when the cow's saw us, they started to approach as sometimes do and the deer just followed them which was strange to say the least as they usuallly just bolt at the first sight of someone.0

I just remembered, when I was like 15 I was walking to a friends house through some of the trails that were in the area, and came across a guy passed out with his zipper undone and his wand hanging out. A few empty beer cans and assorted foods were in the area as well. Was quite random to figure out how he ended up there since the trail I was on was about a 30 minute walk from any building.0

I was riding in the snow at Bedgebury last year and a man riding a sleigh being pulled by dogs came past.

A friend of mine worked in an army recruitment office in London. One day he had a bloke turn up all dressed in camo combat gear, saying he'd been self-training by hiding in trees in the parks, and he'd not been spotted yet, so the army could save a lot of money in hiring him. All they had to do apparently was give him a rifle, and send him to AfghanistanNachimir wrote:I heard a few months later that there'd been quite a few sightings by dog walkers of a nutter who seemed to think he was Rambo, and it was possibly the same guy.

Needless to say, he was turned down, but very politely!0 -
I think must of us have seem those out dogging, having affairs, taking pictures whatever!
its almost a regular occurance for our rides... we did a few weeks ago find 3 police cars up in the forest questioning everyone who was in cars
But most unusual things we have found over the years was we stumbled across them filming scenes for one of the Harry Potter films and told nicely to go away please!
Then found a Fort/village had been built for the new Robin hood film with Russel Crowe... and it was impressive and had gone up in a matter of days since we'd cycled through there earlier0 -

i once heard some kids screaming and shouting from the trail up ahead, i sped up to see what was wrong. when i got there one of the kids was stood with one leg inside a dead sheep!!!! apparently the sheep was all swollen up with gases after it had died and the kids decided to use it as a trampoline....it had burst and gas and guts had gone all over this one poor little bugger and he was screaming so much i don't think he realised he was still stood in it 0

A few weeks ago I saw someone in dive into the hedge in front of me as I approached him, i knew there was a fence about 2 metres behind this so I was slightly concerned about what he was doing. As I went past, I saw someone in full army get up, including a rifle slung across his back and what looked like a ww2 helmet, stood dead still facing away from me pressed up against the fence. I stopped and said 'alright!' and he said 'alright.... .....im hiding' so I decided it was best to carry on. I don't know if he was in the army or just some nutter but he wasn't very good at hiding!0
