Summary:
Now has some excellent established trails

Review:
As agreed lots of short runs, I have along with others over the last 12 months spent a huge amount of time on weekends digging in and establishing DH trails that ride well regardless of weather, we have good sized gap jumps, decent berms, drops built over a series of 4 trails, further trails and features will be added in the coming months, well worth a visit. All trails are off the main walking areas so not a problem at weekends when more busy with people and dogs. My rating is 8 as I am a little biased, you will not be disappointed, nice alternative to Stile Cop.

Summary:
Second best place in the midlands 4 xc slash dh Cannock chase monkey run rules

Review:
It's defo worth checking out if u live in Warwickshire on a day when trip up the m6 to cannock chase is 2 much of a mission. Well easy to find you enter the woods and go up the hill in front of you at top is about 5 short dh trails then go explore the rest of the woods I found some more trails the north side of the woods aswell. I will be going back soon maybe with a shovel.

Summary:
Ripe for developing

Review:
Went there a few months back, was easy enough to find.
Bumped into a few locals who where having a bit of a dig day, creating a new trail that should flow a bit naturally.
The existing stuff well built (burms, jumps & gaps) is a bit tight and the runs are very short (about a minute!) but its a nice little place to session if your not looking for anything too serious.
But get down there with a rake and a shovel and it could be 10x better!

Need to explore

Review:
Pretty much the same as above, lots of little tracks, some balls out fast bits. I ride it from lichfield good nearly fully off road. Give it a miss on sunny weekends during the day as there are a lot of walkers and it is not dedicated mtb
