Odd things you've found while hacking?

[rhino]

Cool did you keep it or find its owner?

Tried unsuccessfully to find an owner. Ended up keeping him as a mouser. He did a far better job than the fat useless yard moggy!

A row of muslim men praying in the middle of a field.

 

[GLEEK]

A man doing a poo!!!!

 

[Squeak]

Wasn't me but a friend was on a bridlepath and first found a brushing boot then later on the other boot then a hat silk hanging on a branch and then a saddle cloth... they recognised it all as someones from the yards stuff and so picked it up as they went along. The other person had no idea they had lost it all until they got back to the yard!!

Geez, some of your finds make an old beer bottle and a stranded bat look positively boring.

Didn't need to know about the guy taking a dump though...yuk and I've just had me tea.

[Happy Hunter]

Some SAS men training - Didnt see them until one of them whispered to me from a bush!!!

 

[GLEEK]

It was disgusting. I could of been sick!

A false leg on a bridleway.

I still wonder how the owner managed to walk home.........

 

[SusannaF]

When teenager couple making out in MG midget parked across the gallops no room to go round and I was somewhat out of control so had no option but to jump the car!

 

[SuperSketch]

A man doing a poo!!!!

This! And a dirty pair of knickers in the middle of the bridle path on the same day! Have also seen people getting it on in the back of a car along a street! My friend once found what she thought was a cows skull.

Rather sad really, in a very wild and remote spot on Dartmoor a man trying to commit suicide, hose from exhaust, windows taped etc. I just happened to be with a firefighter and after a brief discussion (do we interfere? don't we?) we dragged him out.

What happened once you dragged him out?

 

[Cindygirl]

Doing road work in the large town were I live when i went past one of the local landmarks were a lot of people park to have lunch. Just happened to glance down into one of the cars and there was a man very appropriatly dressed for the office getting intimate with page 3 of the sun. Please note this was not a quiet area, it is in the middle of one of the main roads through town.

 

[niagaraduval]

cindygirl - lol ! Wonder what he was reading!

 

[Enfys]

What happened once you dragged him out?

He didn't thank us that's for sure! It was one of those 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situations really.

It was in the days before cell phones, I had to go about 4 miles to find a farm with a phone and phone for help. The farmer collected him on his tractor.

We all knew him, and he was MIGHTILY pissed off that we'd found him, he went further onto the moors six months later and no interfering passersby found him that time.

 

[georgiegirl]

I found a foxes skull once on its own with no other bones - seriously, what eats foxes? had me a bit jumpy for a bit!


some of these other finds are hilarious. pmsl at the vibrator on the BE course!!

 

[GeeGeeboy]

Loving this!! Hhhmmm, ive seen a fox's tail stuck in a bush and soldiers in camoflague gear peering out of trees carrying big guns!

 

[georgiegirl]

my mum has just reminded me when she was younger she found a tortoise - took him home and kept him for ages!

 

[foreverhorses]

I found what i thought was a tiny baby mouse in the middle of the road whilst riding,as i was quite young i decieded to take it home to look after.i kept it warm in the airing cupboard & fed it goats milk,then after a wk or so my mum realised it was actually a rat!! OMG,i was soo glad when it died!!!

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

I nver find anything interesting! OH found a safe in a field whilst out shooting recently... more odd that it isn't the first one he's found either!

 

[hannabanana]

Hahahah these are so funny! I have read every single one! Especially the ferrett, the poo, the streaker and the vibrator!!

Not riding but I seen the village bike shagging yet another man on the football field while putting jumps up in the arena.

I have found a mattress and half a cat in the horses field

I have had to wait til a man finished changing his babys nappy in the middle of the bridleway.

There is often a large group of people who reenact some sort of viking war in the woods often screaming there heads off killing each other. Horse actually pooed himself one day to find a 'dead' viking sprawled across the path!!

I also came across a perfectly layed out licence plate on a grass verge

Out for the first time at home yesterday, I spotted something 'odd' on the track through some local woods. I managed to steer Harry so that he did not stand on it. I jumped off and ran back and found a bat! Poor little thing was on the path so I picked it up. It was alive, but cold, so I warmed it in my hands and put it on a branch in the sunshine to warm up further. I googled it when I got home, and it appeared to be a long eared bat, so not rare, but it's the first time I've ever had a bat in my hand.

Do you not need a licence to even touch a bat? Might be wrong on that though :S

I've found all manner of odd things: quite a few hat silks hanging from trees, animal bones (I've got a nice badger jaw bone in my classroom now which is a good conversation starter!), trapped family of ducklings (they fell down a grating so spent half an hour with my sister (whilst late to meet father and mother shouting at us ) freeing them. Babies were fine but mother was pecking the cr4p out of us!

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

Location: Chile -> the Andes -> about 2500m up - and a good distance from anywhere as the crow flies...

A horse (tacked up with no rider) with 6 pack mules tied in a line from the saddle all quietly plodding up the mountain....
Having stopped to let them pass I started looking for the rider who was presumably with them. Met him about 10 min later doubled up with his son. Apparently they had stopped for a smoke and the horse bored of waiting set off (with the mules in tow) with out them and they didn't notice!

Also in an even more remote valley, merrily singing to my self (way out of tune) came round the corner to find a platoon of troops sitting in the clearing (staring my way in equal surprise) while suposedly having a final breifing before their 'mountain survival test'. I have no idea how they got there as I'd just ridden along one of the ridges over looking the valley and not seen hide nor hair of them.

2 Condors having some 'horizontal' (well more vertical) fun...

Lots of couples in cars, obviously thinking they have found a nice quiet spot only to have 1/2 a ridding school come clattering past or just nosey old Beau who loves to stare

Iguanas, diamond pythons, wallabies and kangaroos, a family of wild pigs, but they are normal here

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

A large number of bottles of alcohol, all unopened and stashed together in a ditch beside the lane. There was brandy, vodka, whisky, Baileys, rum and peach schnapps. Couldn't carry all the bottles on horseback so I rode back to the yard, swapped the horse for a vehicle, drove back and loaded up. Seem to remember that we had quite a cheery Christmas that year!

Also, on another time, a brand new 50ft climbing rope, that I've since cut up and used for all sorts of things.

 

[NeilM]

Do you not need a licence to even touch a bat?

Possibly, but I was not going to leave it in the middle of the lane to die, poor little thing.

 

[Eriskayowner]

No you're right - I would move it as well. It just stirred a thought in my head!
