Cannock Chase: brisk walking on the Chase which was supposed to be with the 3-peaks team. I was late; mainly due to the meeting point  being off familiar turf. At least I met them at the end & they had walked about the same distance as I did. They also walked over round pebbles of the Bunta-pebble bed, surrounded by treacle black mud from years of forest managment. There were relatively few wild animals, offset by vast numbers of mountain bikers. Some tracks are impassable due to hoardes of those cyclists. Oh well, it looks like fun and unlikely to break bikes like some terrain would. Swinnertons cycles looks like a useful place, I make a mental note of it.
