Quite a big hill? ...lots of walkers (some are quite militant but not all), and lots of head scratching whilst trying to figure out which track the guide refers too.
Good fun to be had though.Posted 2 years ago # -
You'll seem to go up more than down. The trails drain quite well.
If the weathers half decent they'll be crawling with tourists saying "You shouldn't be riding up here"

Avoid the weekends if you can, less walkers about.
Some routes on here:

Remember to stock up your water bottle with some free Malvern water

There are some good tracks, but in my experience it takes a while to get to know your way around. The trouble is that there are a lot of paths, and it's easy to pick up the wrong one. I live and work in Malvern and ride the hills at lunchtime or sometimes at night (weekends are generally out due to small children).

Buy the Harvey 1:10,000 Malvern Map.
Waterproof and very handy.
