Is this someone playing a prank on me?

[Apple]

There is a track next to my house that I ride my atv on, loads of people know that I ride around there and I have been doing for the past 4 years. However today I came close to a pretty nasty accident when I had to swerve to avoid a large boulder. With the sun shining behind me directly onto it, I didn't even notice it was there until it was almost too late. I'm not really sure what to make of it, could it be someone playing a prank they think is funny or could it be someone trying to say that they don't want me riding there? Whoever put it there will of had to use a pickup/van/machinery of some kind because it is unbelievably heavy to the point that 2 grown men can't even budge it an inch. I took a photo of it to show to my dad and if necessary report it to the police. Pranks like this just aren't funny and I certainly don't want other things happening like this (that's if it was a prank).

Is it not a private lane? Do cars and that use that lane. Maybe it's their to stop cars and that going down their.

Right so let's get this straight. You're riding your ATV (road legal or not I don't know), down a country lane where the families who live there have probably chosen the location due to the quietness. You believe they'll be happy with the racket that ATV's produce? They sound awful. I'd make sure your ATV is legal before you get the police involved. Plus it could be private land.

if its not private and if its not meant for vehicles the council could've put it there

Occasionally cars do get sent down because their sat nav thinks it's a road. Not all sat navs think it is a road though, just the older ones I think.

The path/track is surrounded by fields and the nearest house is quite far away so I can't imagine it annoying them. Like I said, I have been riding there regularly for the past 4 years so if they had a problem with the noise they would of done something about it by now.

Part of it is ours however we maintain all of it so the council often do us favours or give us free gravel for us to maintain it.

Before I can reply further

- Is there anyone you don't get along with around there
- Ever had a complaint from anyone about the noise/etc.

No complaints at all! There are a few people I don't get along with but what makes this so strange is the boulder itself. It can't be anyone my age who put it there as they will of had to use a car. If it was the council then it's a little unthoughtful/unprofessional because it could so easily cause an accident. Wouldn't a wooden fence of been more appropriate with some kind of gate or thing to climb over for walkers?

IIs your ATV legal

Think I'm gonna push it out the way, just need a few people to help. And no it's not road legal.
