    The two are quite different. The Long Mynd has a lot of biiiiiiig climbs and long descents, is pretty 'natural' and you have to use a map.

    Cannock (Monkey and Follow the Dog) are much easier to follow, with shorter ups and downs, but more technical stuff built into them.

    Wyre Forest is good, I've been a couple of times, but you probably need someone with local knowledge to get the most out of it.

    Ok good stuff.

    The Long Mynd sounds like the equivalent of our NY Moors rides and Cannock sounds likes the equivalent of say Dalby or Hamsterley. Love them both so think i will ride them both. :D

    Thanks for the info
