Jay is right. There is so much closed of the marked trails at Cannock that it's not worth the journey to do them. The off piste stuff is indeed a mess and more so after yesterdays deluge and like Jay says, not helped by the absolute arse biscuits who insist on riding them and destroying them in the process.
I personally don't think Stile Cop is worth a long drive (last time I was up there a lot of that was closed/in repair too).
Looks like Cannock is a no goer, I'd say.

Can we tempt you into a peaks ride. Glynn's rides are usually a few hours so not an all day thing |

Just checked Google Maps, the Peaks might be a little far for me to travel sadly  |

I'll have a look at it in detail when we know what route, what meeting time is planned. I really want to do a Peaks ride at least once this summer. Even living here though it must be at least an hours drive from me, if not more. |
