Chris:
Sandwell MTB Trails without fails
Good trail but just for fun or to practice styling over the jumps, lots of jumps maybe 8 in a row. Small to medium
Good points:
If you live close to the trails your gonna have a great time! Pumping through the twisty sections and clearing the table tops is not that easy! If you can clear all the jumps in the black section you have a pretty good riding style. You can if you don't scrub to much speed down the trail, but you gotta be good! If you just wanna carve about and have fun the trails are not that tricky. Just depends how you look at it.
Great little trail for grins and fun, with some nice flow-e sections.
Bad points:
The black trails are quite easy with no gaps to clear, step ups or step downs. Id say good beginner to intermediate trails that make good use of a small arear.
Would you recommend?

Dominic:
Worth a visit if you don't have to travel far.
The black sections really aren't that challenging, actually the whole thing feels fairly entry level. Not really a destination worth travelling distance to, but if you're local it's good for a workout and some practice or just a bit of fun. I don't really understand some parts of the course, there's tabletops and jumps that have almost no run up to get the required speed. Maybe I'm just getting old and slow.
Good points:
Well marked, rides well all year round. I like the way it's laid out.
Bad points:
Major bad point is it's very close to some very scutty areas. Expect chavs on Halfords bikes to follow you round and eye up your bike as they have nothing better to do.

Good points:
you can go down.
Bad points:
worst surface to ride on in the country.who thought compacted fine gravel was a good idea has not ridden a bike at speed on a sidewall of a tyre.i ride bike park wales mainly also afan valley,cannock chase and a quarry close to me but none are as dangerous as this course.pull up the gravel and let the earth meet the tyre.£130 grand?someone has full pockets from that just like the public gallery.
Would you recommend?
