Hi all,

Way back in issue 82 there was an article on rides around and through the Lickey Hills. I wanted to download the GPX file but I can't find it in the downloads section... I'm wondering whether it's so old it's been removed! Does anyone have it?

couldn't upload the actual route as STW didn't want to publish it as some sections are technically cheeky. anyway it was so long ago and there's been lots of tree management in the intervening years so most of the routes have changed competely. there's also been quite a bit of trail building going on so although it's still a segmented ride with lots of small sections of tarmac the Lickeys probably has much better trails now.
don't bother riding on bank holidays, especially sunny ones as it'll be rammed with familys and pets until 6pm-ish. much better after that time
this is still here though

Rocketdog- cheers, yeah I imagine it’ll be a nightmare this weekend. Might go and have a look one day after work (I live only a few miles away) - trying to get back into mountain biking after years away so just researching some local options. Nice blog by the way, I’ve been reading it on and off for years.
