As above really, just wondering whether it's worth it or not?

Anyone cycled the Jack Mytton way, Shropshire?

Hi.
Yes.
Twice, but only between Kidderminster and Long Mynd.
It is a path not well travelled - so the bridleways were somewhat impassable on occasion, sometimes due to overgrown vegetation and sometimes due to the passage of horses. The way markers can be a bit hit and miss; I've had fairly big problems both times in following the route.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, but both times I was weighed down with camping gear.
Would I do it again? Not really - I didn't find it particularly scenic and I think if I were going to go riding for a day then I'd choose somewhere else a little more suitable for bikes.
The one bonus was that you can divert to Bridgnorth (or Kidderminster) and catch the Severn Valley Railway home again.

I was thinking of doing the bits around Much Wenlock (Wenlock Edge) because it's within driving distance.

Surely if Wenlocks within driving distance, more suitable and rewarding riding can be found on the Long Mynd?
Routes are easily google'ed.
The Mytton way would surely be difficult to make a loop out of, as it passes through.
Wouldn't you be better off finding a loop to get back to your car?Posted 2 years ago #
