Did FOD 2 weeks ago which was ace,but bit further than what i want at the moment … for me FOD almost 70 miles
May look towards the malverns

Not sure about traffic as now live in London

a38 to Worcester then Malvern up the wych to British camp then hilly run west of Malvern northwards and back over river at holtfleet back to bromsgrove, good workout fantastic scenery.

Hopwas woods near tamworth. Not very big, but fair bit of gradient change and some great bits of trail if you have a look.
