I've got a mate who wants to go mountain biking, but hasn't been before. I'm thinking Cannock would be a fairly good place to go to, as I've heard there are chicken runs on most trail obstacles.

Does it have a skills loop too? I'm thinking it would be a good idea for him to get used to moving around on the bike etc. before trying to do the trail.

Tron,FOTD is very gentle.Took a mate there last year,no chicken runs needed. Enjoy.

it's an easypeasy trail so no need to worry, there's nothing that will catch you out (they've even started smoothing out all the breaking bumps so it's super smooth)
