After the lichfield road, cross over at the bridge and go through 2 fields until you come to another bridge or at least what was a road. Turn left and I seem to recall that there's a cut that goes straight up ! I haven't been for a looong time, so my recall is a bit hazy, but it feels about right.
If you hear any banging going on, there'a a rifle range on the north side of the woods, although I'm sure it's probably safe if you go over that way

its only a very small wood though, have been told there is a really good single track trail in there some where, but when i went I didn't find it.
Other than Cannock the only other good stuff i've ridden nearby is in the White Peak. Jacob's ladder and Doctor's gate are up there with the best

I shall have to seek them out
i'm riding Ladybower resevoir and probably Win Hill on Sunday. yey! plus I get my Rocky Ridge back from the shop...
there are some good trails around Stanage Edge, but the end closest to Sheffield comes with a £500 penalty for being caught riding on it :shock:
