Down at church stretton for a wedding and can get a ride in on Friday afternoon.
Weather looks like showers so something that's a bit weatherproof would be cool.
Any gpx files or links would be awesome
Thank you in advance you lovely lovely people
Might be worth popping in Blazing Bikes for some suggestions and a map.
Also MBR trail of the year 2011
MBR.CO.UK GPX -
+1 for blazing bikes. They have maps available and I think there is a big map on the wall outside.

Fill your boots - my advice would be to ensure you do Stanbatch off the 'far' side then Minton Batch is another 'must do'. The descent that ends at the campsite is also ace.
It's a top place to ride - very exposed if windy, but just fantastic views and trails and a liberal attitude to MTBs.
The map is only a quid or two from Blazing Bikes which is a great place to start the ride. It's a cracking little map too, easy to follow. Minton Batch is great.
Which route is the easiest way up? Is it the fire road climb marked as "1" at the southern end? We're going there on the tandem next month.
Yes - fire road is the easiest way up. Other ways up I would consider are The Batch - as it just doesn't seem that much fun on the way down, or Carding Mill Valley as it is by far the busiest track, so more likely to encounter walkers on a busy day.
