The adventure trail cuts through a number of wooded section - some steep some nice and easy. Here's the first wood

The first bomb hole. It's a lot steeper than it looks and we'll be making a feature out of this section raging from easy to...steep.

And then onto a steep climb up the ridgeway - again, this is steeper than it looks.

The reward at the top of the climb is this magnificent view of Ragley

There's lots of work to be done around this area, but it's going to be a fun place to ride

And there's a mud and water spash at the bottom

Here's hoping the weather's as good next week as it was today.

Looking good I hope it doesn't rain too much and turn it into a quagmire

Looks good.
Will you need to be an off-road guru to do it or is it doable by novices??
What about tyres... mine are more road orientated Trail Attcks than proper knobblies??

Totally weather dependent. If it rains then it's going to be a skating rink for all on any tyre. If it stays dry then you should be okay on most all tyres. We were out today with one bike on a set of knobblies and the other on road tyres both were fine.
There will always be an easy option for the inexperienced to bypass tougher sections.
