Great place to ride. It's on my doorstep but definitely worth visiting no matter how far you are away.

lower cliff trail at cannock chase is fun and fast

An ancient area of woodland with a mixture of native tree species and a wide range of animals, insects and birds. The area is owned by Tarmac and the Ministry of Defence, some areas are occasionally closed for military exercises so always follow signs.

If you are using 800 mm bars, make sure you slacken off the stem bolts a little bit just enough to allow the bars to twist without damaging the bars when you clip one of the trees.

A bit nervy, but just send it & the result is satisfying

having just been in the area for 3 days and ridden all of these: Perry's blue, a new route post Commonwealth games, from the Birches visitor centre, is suitable for even the newest of MTB'ers - there is nothing technically hard. But there are some really fun berms even for experienced to enjoy and it has some good Red optional diversions as well. Follow the Dog is the next one up - a "light and fruity middling" Red - whilst some sections are steep, some are technical, some are loose/narrow/twisty - none are all 3 are at the same time. Suitable as a first time Red. And finally, Monkey is a proper hard red - some brutal sequential switchback climbs (Lung Buster), adverse camber rocky drops verging to "very dark oaky" red (Tom/Dick/Harry on Original Monkey). And the parts that are actually marked black are verging on Danny MacAskill.... Definitely not one for a first red.

Let the bike run, dithering can have consequences! Look much worse than they are as you approach (like most of these things)

A section of three rocky descents with some nadgery corners that are some of the most technically challenging parts of the red-rated Monkey Trail. For even more of a challenge, there are some black-rated lines that you can see that run nearly parallel to these. Yikes!
