make the most of local trails

Most of us are guilty of it, flicking through magazines and websites, packing up the car (or van) and driving to get to some ‘awesome’ trails.

We’re so convinced that the good riding is all in trail centres or on someone elses patch that we often forget to look on our doorsteps.

Well grab an OS map, put on an extra layer and go for an explore around your local parks, woods and wastelands because you might just find some sweet trails – we did!

At first glimpse you never expect any decent trail riding around Walsall and Birmingham, but with a bit of exploring we’ve found miles and miles of tarmac free trails.

And there’s nothing sweeter than riding trails straight outside your front door!
