Cannock Chase off-piste

[MrSimmo]

So, I'm off to Cannock Chase at some point; I've done the Dog/Monkey usual routes a few times and also know Stile Cop.

BUT...

Can anyone suggest some off-piste routes around the area?


I've pulled this from Strava - seems to be a fair bit of activity in the top half. This area any good?

Cheers

it seems to be a very touchy subject for those local who don't want to share from anytime someone has mentioned it on facebook.

there are plenty of videos about that show some of the off piste stuff.

Ah ok np; shame but understandable

It's only because stuff gets taken down or destroyed. I spent 9m building a trail like no other, only 3m later for it to get taken down

Is there any consultancy mechanism with the Forestry?

It's just faux pas. Possible fines. It seems the general consensus is natural is ok, structures are not.

Although a built a natural gap jump, laminated signs warning and chicken line. Still got taken down, even though blue Spade etc exists
