Cannock DH: Trail Status and Build days (Updated 2/10/10)

Due to recent forestry works Stile Cop’s trails have been significantly affected. Forestry works finished on 1st October and we’ve surveyed the damage to the trails.

There is a lot of work to do and some of the trails will be out of bounds for some time to come.

At the moment the open trails are;
Red Course
Wonderland
Balboa
New Line

The closed trails are;
Black Course
CDL
Mega Trail (both options)
Ridge Line
Little Bringewood

Look out for trail specific signs which will explain the current status of each trail. If a trail is closed or if it is obvious that it has been blocked off but the barrrier has been vandalised then please DO NOT ride the trail.

Trail building days are now going to be done on a regular basis to get the trails fixed and then improve them to a better state than before the forestry works.

Please be aware that the fire road at the bottom of the trails has been seriously damaged and will also require repair, please take care as the ruts are deep and filled with water and very soft sand.

Even though a trail may look rideable where the signs say it it close please do not ride it. It is closed as the line has been damaged and the condition cannot be guaranteed, there may be hidden holes, dangerous branches etc.

The next trail build day will be on Saturday 9th October. Meet at the top of the hill for 10am and we’ll hand out tools and job lists. If you have them then bring your own tools.
