Whats the crack with this "phase 2" at Cannock i keep hearing about? Is it an entirely new trail or just an extra bit added on to FTD. I really like Cannock but am getting fed up of the Dog and always end up fanning about when exploring off trail.

    FtD is only good to join the good parts of the chase together

    From what I have seen of Phase II - its going to be far more challenging than FTD.

    You will have to shave your head and wear an orange robe to ride it but in the meantime you can get an idea of what's going on here Chase Trails Blog

    Earlier this year =]

    To my untrained eye, there's still loads to do. FtD is feeling the strain of its popularity and fixing it up doesn't happen by magic. There was some talk about putting in a new trail at the bottom of section 8 to link up with Phase II but I don't know if it will happen. There are Phase II build days every Sunday leaving at 10AM from Swinnos bike shop at Birches Valley.
