Gotta feeling it was drop 2 weeks before when the winter serious was racing there i checked the thetford mtb racing forum and no ones put a post up.
If im the only who has a had the right mind to clear up litter as i ride after im guessing a few hundred riders have been past it in the last two weeks im guess the trail gods gifted it too me :shock: good deeds and all that
about 8 months ago one of the lads i work with found a £300 digi camera on a drystone wall 3/4 of the way up the minors track on snowdon. he sat with the camera (in a lowe pro bag, 2 spare batteries, 4 spare memory cards) for an hour, left a note on the wall with his number in place of the camera then pinned a note to the info board in the car park they used.
no phone calls, no texts, no emails that carried any merit - some called but when quizzed on the make, model and pictures on the camera nobody knew what they were - just trying to nick someone elses stuff.
in cases like this I think fair enough, he's gone above and beyond what a lot of people would do with an item of value, for smaller items such as multi tools, pumps etc. then finders keepers applies if they look to have been misplaced for more than a day or two.

I found a passport one time, handed it into the local police station...they said we can't really do anything about it,even though it contained the persons address? but they just didn't seem interested... so i found the person on facebook within like 10 minutes (they had some strange greek surname with only about 10 of them in the country and only one in manchester) Then sent them a message telling them to pick it up from the police station, she left some freshly made cookies for my troubles! best reward EVER.
It is amazing what people lose though and just don't bother hunting too hard for.
