These Fireroads on this side of The Wrekin give technically easy access right up the side of the hill. But they are all steep and will involve walking for all but the fittest of riders. Another point to bear in mind is that there is no access to the summit ridge at this standard. Having said that they offer access to lots of the Downhill type trails and give situations not often given at this standard.
