Contacted the forest ranger and they had caught the Culprit. A walker that did not like Horses messing up his walks. The ranger got the location from us and went out to clear the Wire.

Daft thing is that this was a long walk from anywhere and not many MTB's use this part of the Forest. It was mainly horses in this part so dread to think of the suffering it would have caused a horse and rider running into it.
