Going to be passing Macc forest a few times in the next few weeks and need to break the journey up. Can anyone point me to the top of the DH runs in Macc forest or any of the other good trails cheeky or otherwise.
Cheers

Start at Teggs Nose, out of the car park, turn left... And follow the [s]Footpath[/s] trail, srtraight off the edge to the valley bottom, back up the other side, and up to Charity lane...

There's loads of stuff to find on the right hand side through the woods. Just follow yer nose, you can't go far wrong.

the official DH trail is chained closed, you need to get in touch with the guys who run it (don't have details myself sorry) to find out when it will be opened

You can't really go that wrong in Macc forest - although the official dh runs are chained up as gas been said. If Ou have a couple of hours then up to the cat n fiddle, across Dane bower hollow and into 3 shires is good, then down Cumberland brook and then back up to the firest

As M6TTF's route starting at The Leather Smithy pub head up to Charity Lane, Cat & Fiddle etc... be prepared for hills and a chunk of road, still a decent blast round though.
