Thats going to **** up nice nice trails up there then, they'll be made all smooth, wide and then have a rock garden put in to make people think their 6" skill compensators are worth it.

A trail centre could be o.k. using the forest down Priors Holt way, I reckon.
Wouldn't like to see too many more bikers (well, anyone really) cluttering the place up on a busy weekend though, tbh...Posted 2 years ago # -

Tails - its true!!!!!!!
No they are not planning to widen all the trails! There maybe some trail building but that would be on their own land.
From what i've seen of the plans I think this will be a great destination.

Is that the Station Inn at Marshbrook? I've biked from there in the past although mainly around the Hope Valley not up onto the Mynd.
No one seems to have heard about it in Shrewsbury - but heh! There's always a first time!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yep thats the one!

Rootes, aye that's me. I'm trying to think of someone who rode a GT back in the day (Bobby Blake had Zizang....). Are you extremely tall, made some really crap home made lights and ran over a car once?

Reet mon,
I suddenly remembered it was you because you posted up about Collins Boy having to turn the ring pull sideways because his nose was so big (LOL) and that you worked at the shop.
It was my back that fecked up in the end, giving my leg grief but many years not not riding and getting really stoned seemed to help and I got back into it around 2000. Came out to Canada to be a guide in Whistler and now I'm happily married and living in Vancouver.
Where are you these days (just tried stalking you on Facebook but couldn't see you...)? Funny that I remembered the car incident but in a childish way that was so awesome

this wont be a trail center with man made trails. it will be all the facitlies in one place to attract mtbers to the natural trails

Nowt wrong with that - frankly I think it's pretty future proof and not open to vagaries of FC run site if budgetary cuts come.
It's what Stu and his missus have done at the Dales MTB Centre and done very well.

"No one seems to have heard about it in Shrewsbury - but heh! There's always a first time! "
Other than it being in the Shropshire Star.
Its more along the lines of a base (pub,shop lodging etc) being promoted in existing trails.
And good luck to him.

Rootes 1/Trickett....Oh my god...it all comes flooding back.I seem to remember you "inventing" the cassette comb/cleaner thing only for it nicked by Mr Crud a short while later.Its only a matter of time and stupidity until theres a full on msw reunion eh Will?

I'd worked it all out by this stage
We don't read the Shropshire Star this side of the border

WTF is a "Rorschach"?
Good evening bright pink Funk rider.

As for the facility, great is it's something small scale, but I can't think of any trails that can take a load of mountain bikers hooning down them other than some of the wide gravelly ones. Look at the state of Manton Bitch these days.

Minton has been 'mended' a bit too...
Posted 2 years ago # -
You can't beat the bargin' out of date snacks at the Stiperstones shop. I'm sure I saw a marathon for sale in there recently (pre-snickers prototype).
Longmynd trail centre wont happen as its 95% owned by National Trust. I can see guided riding riding a viable go-er, but that will be only on the legal stuff, right?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yellow Belly - It is happening, thats a fact! Trail centre is on privately owner land and the national trust are fully aware and supportive!
Posted 2 years ago # -
It'd be pretty cool if something was set up west of Minton Batch in the Forestry Commission run hairier. Various fireroads there so easy to create a linked trail system.

Oi walleater.....The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and analyzed using psychological interpretation and complex scientifically derived algorithms.It is employed to detect underlying thought disorders.Everyday is a schoolday.........

Posted 2 years ago # -
Mintons more betterer now theyve done some work on it though. Perhaps this is good.
