Mountain biking

If you have time on your tour of the Long Mynd, try to take in one of the two great trails that start from the gliding club – Yaspel Bank and Minton Batch ('batch' is the local term for a steep-sided valley). Both take you to the tiny hamlet of Minton and are hugely enjoyable (though Minton Batch is probably the easiest to ride back up!)

Minton Batch is truly fabulous, and usually deserted. I was once divebombed by a hawk there, I got too close to its nest. In wet weather the ground gets boggy so dress accordingly.
