Good afternoon all

After many weeks of gloopy conditions, five of us keen MTB persons are planning to do a morning around Clent Hills, starting from the NT Cafe.

The good lady and me walked some of the bike route during the icy post Xmas weekends but are not sure what trails are there for an initial ride of about 1-1.5hrs....?

Any information, route suggestions welcome :)

Thanks

Peter

    Pete, founder member of the clent duffers here.. Give me a shout and I'll work out a date when I'm free. Work shifts so often free in the mid week .. days and nights.

    Is anyone going out one evening this week? I'm working near Solihull, staying near Redditch and keen to get out to the Clent Hills for a ride. I can try and find some trails on my own, but if anyone is out and wouldn't mind someone tagging along it would be much appreciated.

    Also, most sites I've seen suggest parking at Nimmings wood car park, but the NT site says this shuts at dusk, and as I will probably be out after dark, are there better places to park? Thank you.

    Okay, that sounds good and thank you. Let me know which venue when you've decided and what time and I'll be there.

    Does the NT cafe still do those huge doorstep sausage & bacon sarnies?

    Pete, you'll be lucky, 3rd is mothers day and I've got feck all chance of playing that day as it actually equates to Mothers/ wives day!

    Mick Arms, unfortunately going to be stuck in a meeting so not going to be able to get thee in time. Many thanks for the update and if I'm up again in a couple of weeks I'll try again.
