In Birmingham on Friday, somewhere around the NEC, so thinking about an after-meeting ride if there is anything nearby, then in Halesowen to visit relatives Friday night/Saturday.

Any recommendations? Pretty flexible about what I do.

Cheers ... Rich

Clent has some nice trails.
You could ride there from Halesowen.
Best off with a local showing you round though.
I'll be in Wales so can't show you round.
I'm sure so other locals will help.

Cannock. Hours of fun if you explore.
Clent as above.
Sutton park, it's no alpine resort but good for an hour of mooching.
Bently park woods. Not been myself but a couple of my mates a regulars and keep going back and only 15 mins from the NEC. 52.554855, -1.574478

Clent or Wyre forest. But as Stu said, you'll want a guide to make the best of it.

As above, clent but you'd need to be with someone to get the best out of it. I'd get in the car and go and ride cannock if I were on my own for sure.

Thanks for the replies - I'll have a look round Clent if I can find some gps tracks. Used to go there with grand parents, so might bring back some memories.

Clent doesn't have 'that' many trails to get lost on TBH, so just wandering round, GPS-less would be fine.
