Mt. Biking: Cannock Chase Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 21C Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Decided to go to Cannock chase today but thought I'd try it without the car. So headed across to Codsall and on past Brewood then via
Gailey and upto Penkridge on the A449. Then past Woolgarston school and down Pottal Pool Rd to the roundabout on the A34. Went straight
across to Broadhurst Green Rd and turned onto the first trail off to the left.
Off road skirted the quarry and up over onto the heathland of Brocton. Went down and across the valley and did some trail exploring on
the small hills. Found a bit of single track off one of the fireroads, which had been well built and is not sign posted, great
stuff!
After looking for new trails and going in circles a bit I landed on the leisure trail and think I ended up at Seven Springs car park
then headed across to the ford at Stepping Stones doing this opart of the leisure trail in reverse. Then I left the trail and climbed
through Brocton Coppice and back down over the heathland following the ridge.
Then ended up at Katyn Memorial and crossed onto the bridal way down Dark Slade and skirted Warren hill and back past the other side of
the quarry where I'd started then back this time onto the A34 just by the roundabout.
Then just followed the road home thru Penkridge and got a decent display form the Cosford air show when going thru Brewood, nice.
Estimate 68km or 42 miles, not bad but too much road (28 miles).
