Classic Cuts moves to great new premises!

Posted on February 2, 2016 by BrownhillsBob

I’m always happy advertise local shops and businesses here on the Brownhills Blog and I was happy to help when Leanne Molloy asked if I’d give Steve Molloy’s newly relocated hairdressing salon a plug.

Tearing up the forest

Posted on June 21, 2013 by BrownhillsBob

Here’s a video I’m posting specifically for Rob Floders, who I know enjoys my cycle videos – Rob’s having a really tough time at the moment, and although I know a daft video can’t make anything better, I hope it makes him smile just a little.

Into White

Posted on February 3, 2013 by BrownhillsBob

It’s taken me a couple of weeks to edit this up due to being somewhat busy with other stuff, but it’s not worked out so bad. A ride from near Maquis Drive, on Cannock Chase, up over Rifle Range Corner, past the old Butts, down into Abrahams Valley and out onto the A513 at Seven Springs.

Enchanting forest

Posted on January 20, 2013 by BrownhillsBob

Well, I made it. Yesterday, I cycled up onto Cannock Chase. Starting from Brownhills, I headed up to Chasewater – which was stunning – and on through Heath Hayes and Hednesford, up to Rifle Range Corner. The going at Chasewater was very heavy, and a fine, wet sleet was making it quite uncomfortable. Wrestling with turning back, I pushed on, and as the temperature dropped, the sleet turned to powdery snow and the air cleared.

Anyone know anything about these Cannock Chase offroaders?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by BrownhillsBob

Abraham’s Valley, Cannock Chase. 3:50pm, Saturday, 7th January 2012. I’m sure there must be a perfectly innocent explanation for this. Two vehicles, driving off-road, up Abraham’s Valley on the Chase toward Rifle Range Corner. I have never, ever seen private vehicles … Continue reading →

Into the valley

Posted on December 28, 2011 by BrownhillsBob

Posted over on my 365daysofbiking Tumblr journal, quite fond of this video, taken on and around Cannock Chase (my favourite Abraham’s Valley in particular) on Boxing Day. It’s take on a GoPro HD Hero 2, and recorderded in high-definition 1080p … Continue reading →

Chase my blues away

Posted on September 4, 2011 by BrownhillsBob

After the dismal depression of last weekend, which I always consider to be the end of summer, today worked hard to convince me otherwise. After sneaking out for an early breakfast, I enjoyed a spin through Great Wyrley, up to … Continue reading →

Sunshine on a rainy day

Posted on April 3, 2011 by BrownhillsBob

This afternoon, I cut loose and headed for Cannock Chase. The weather wasn’t great and I felt quite down; however, after a heavy downpour as I came through Hednesford and Penkridge Bank, the most perfect, sunny scenery emerged blinking and … Continue reading →

Blue Monday

Posted on September 1, 2009 by BrownhillsBob

The poor weather continues. Today was a traditional bank holiday, featuring traditional bank holiday weather – overcast with  sharp sqaully showers and windy. I still got out around Cannock Chase, and even on a dull day, Staffordshire is full of … Continue reading →
