Walkers – beware tripwire

I've just returned from a walk along a bridlepath, No 28 on Audlem Parish Paths map and by Highfields Farm encountered this hazard – electric trip wires before and after a cattle grid.

My friend nearly fell over them.

Yes, there is a notice saying "Danger. Electric fence at ground level" but the sign is small and only noticeable when one is right on top of the hazard. I wanted to warn other walkers.
