Haughmond Hill is a woodland just outside Shrewsbury. It’s like a mini northside Cannock with lots of hidden twisty and interesting singletrack and some brilliant bermed descents. It’s got a few short sharp climbs and is best ridden on a hardtail. It’s not very high, around 150metres so rideably in all weathers. It can get a bit gloopy but not like Sherwood Pines!

Parking is free and there is an excellent, but small, café run by two delightful young ladies (well young to me!)

Rob (Old bert would) will be leading, so it will be quite quick and I’ll be sweeping up at the back, as usual on my rides!

This ride would also be good for newbies, who want to try a forum ride, or the less fit as you’re never too far from the car park if you need to bail.

9.30 start at SY4 4PW
