[#5210115]

On a course next week in the centre of Birmingham and looking to get out a few times in the afternoon/evenings. First though was to nip up to Cannock but that's still a 40 minute drive, anything closer/better?

Cheers

Sutton park is easy to get to. Bit flat but there's some good bits

The lickey hills & clent are not so big that you'll get majorly lost but can still entertaining without having to travel too far.

I'd suggest the wyre is better than cannock, but really requires local knowledge or a guide to get the best out of it.

Thanks... Will probably go to cannock one time, then hit Sandwell or Sutton any other times...

Used to Sherwood Pines so I don't think I'll be too upset by the flat trails.

Apologies to Robin Hood but Sutton Park has a lot more to offer than Sherwood Pines...
