Sutton Park, Birmingham - Skeleton Hill?

I have used the park for years and have never heard that hill mentioned.

Have you asked the question on the forum on www.chasetrails.co.uk

You get a more locals on that who will know the answer if there is one!!!

I've often wondered this.

The only place that springs to mind when i read Skeleton, is the really rooty downhill section with three steps and a gate at the bottom. Its hardly a downhill course, just a very, very short technical section. :

at the top of the road that leads to the boat house, before it starts going down the hill away from the boat house, there is a trail on the right. its down there.

Cant be that though surely. :shock:

Theres only another two good bits in the park that go downhill, they are short as you can imagine and are no where near a 'downhill course'. Just downhill trails.

haha, I had trouble with that question as well!

Yeah those jumps up the road from the boat house are great. Theres a giant one (pictured in the that thread, bit different know, its a drop to a massive double about 20ft wide) two pretty big doubles that are real speed suckers and hard to clean both, another smaller double that is sometimes a TableTop jump which is great for learning on, then there is another bombhole/double/semi table jump there which is good for learning tricks off.

Never heard it called the Skeleton, and theres no decent downhill track there.

There is no easy route that tracks the outline of the park because of some boggy meadow lands, the railway line, golf courses and the lakes.

Best thing is to 'feel' your way around - there are loads of different paths to follow do it either clockwise or anti and just follow the well trodden paths - until they run out!

A circuit would take about 40 mins
