Nice scenic route but really need a mountain bike. Lots of large stones and some steepish drops over rocks. Go through on my gravel bike but didn't feel comfortable. Great scenery, quiet and good mixture of surfaces.

The second part done at last and puncture free, really enjoyed it ,the banking is faster and the jumps flow better . Come out of part 1 ,follow the 5 pits trail back up the hill and you will see part 2 on the left . Part 2 finishes at the entrance of part 1 . I enjoyed it hope you do to .

Back Lane is a great little descent through Cockerspring Wood, a mass of Wild Garlic in the spring. Also used by horse riders as well as walkers.

Glapwell MTB Trail - Well worth a run round if you are passing. From the Stockley Trail, the Start is via the Southern entrance & the Exit is slightly further North.
