Another nasty looking DIY ‘stinger’ trap has been found on a track in South Wales. This one featured six 6″ nails in a plank of wood embedded in the ground.

There are reports of an incident involving a Landrover having its tyres damaged by a suspected similar device in the same area but not by the stinger featured here.

So there is a likelihood that there are/were numerous such stinger traps still lurking in the Bwlch Craig Y Geifr area. Be careful out there.

On South Wales Community Mountain Rangers’ Facebook page the following message was posted last night (Wednesday February 15th).
