Round Cannock, seriously?
Unless your superhuman, FC forests must rank amongst the easiest places to get lost.
First time i did FTD I assumed it was pretty much out and back, in reality it’s more peanut shaped IIRC coming back otthe start almost halfway round?
I’ve guided loads of people round Swinley, but there’s no way I could point to a trail on a map (or find the corkscrew most days!), and I still find my way back to the visitor center through luck rather than judgement, it usualy involves heading north untill i hit 9mile ride.
