Hi just wandered if any decent trails at wyre forest. rode Cannock yesterday but next week fancied trying wyre forest. just after some views on the place
Cheers
Do a search. Lots of info on it. You'll need a local to get the best out of it though 😀
yeah most reviews I found include people getting quite lost. So im guessing its not a setup like Cannock in that sense then.

This. ... That or fire roads. But it's ace riding and where I got the "bug". Post when you wanna go and I'm sure someone on here will be able to show you around.
Nope, none at all 😉
The best bits are not the easiest to locate, as the FC & NE don't agree with MTB in the forest but supposedly don't enforce any sort of ban (heard rumblings they want to change this?). Most of the better stuff is away from the visitors centre, though as a first time visitor the VC is easy to locate & get back too. Lots of regulars on here ride there, so getting a guide (especially with the sun out) shouldn't be too hard, if you ask nicely. Otherwise you've the best weather ATM to trawl round and try and connect the trails together (all easy to spot, not hidden away)
Zippy, change the enforcement or letting us officially do it?
if it stays dry as forecast this week it'll be sweet and dusty by next weekend, i'd show you around by in a twist of fate I'm racing at cannock then
Ok thanks. So as I've only got few hours Saturday it probably not best idea to go and get lost then. Maybe just kinver this week then
enforcement dibboid, TBF I don't remember who said it to me (& it might just be rubbish). Though I can't see how they'd ever expect to stop riding going on.
Keep your eyes open at Kinver then. A couple of new trails have gone in. 😉
can I ask where GOYB?
As at least one "new" trail* off the edge has caused controversy and caused a lot of new fences to be erected
*and by trail I mean a rubbish direct route "straight down" the edge, causing a load of erosion & been very obvious to the NT/walkers
edit: PS. Don't get me wrong I'm all over the edge on my bike, but building new stuff that going to cause conflict ain helpful.
oh rite any hints on where the new trails are then.
They're over the DH track side but you'll need to explore to find them. Sorry, I can't be more specific.
The DH track is running really well too. I was over there yesterday and forgot just how well the place drains. It's like it never rained!
Ok thanks. Mind you the DH track wouldn't run smoothly with me on it I don't think
