I'm really sick of this tedious shit, it happens in Epping Forest all the time, but it's just logs and branches that aren't enough to disrupt you flow if your a mediocre mountain biker, but it's annoying because the only people it might deter are beginners and those are the people we want to encourage to our sport.
