Don't do many trail centres but fancied a run to cannock tomorrow to try the new stuff. It was rubbish when we last went as loads was closed. I appreciate before I'm told there is also loads of off piste and will be more than happy if someone fancies doing a bit of guiding.

I went there about 3 weeks ago and both of the red loops were open, I didn't see any bits closed off, surprisingly good fun for a trail centre!

yup all open. The berms on the new lower cliff are as tall as a man and a test of courage how high you go up them. Spin up the hill to do it again after you come to the bottom. I'm going myself tomorrow morning.

I was there a few weeks ago and the new section is indeed fun. I'd get there asap before the braking bump fairy does her work!

Watch out this weekend, it will be super dusty. Seen a few injuries on the facebook page this week from washouts. I'll no doubt be there at first light or slightly before tomorrow too.

I need high pressure to aid my fat assume around there. It's gonna be a tough choice, easy peddling or certain lowside death.

I think it will be all open for a few weeks, the last update I remember seeing was that chase trails are negotiating their 2016 works with the FC so no work is being done at the moment.

It was indeed running great today, busy as a town centre on top of lower cliff.

I went over today, I've never known it to be that dry before! Binned it once when I lost the front end, sporting some nice war wounds on my leg now.

I must admit that I was surprised by just how busy it was today!
