点评:Based on the photos on the website I took my grandson to the MTB Miners trail at Sandwell Valley Country Park expecting a well maintained series of routes that would be an introduction to mountain biking.
Firstly, parking was a challenge as all the pay machines had been vandalised and the only way to pay was via an app which was irksome to set up.
Secondly, there were zero signs directing us to the MTB routes - I even asked at two visitor centres / cafes in the vicinity and nobody knew where the MTB routes were. Eventually, after a considerable amount of random searching we found the place purely by accident.
Thirdly, sadly the routes aren’t maintained, the area is scruffy and strewn with litter, consequently both I and my grandson felt very disappointed.
Consequently I wouldn’t recommend this park to anyone who wants ride on MTB routes as per the routes shown on the website.
翻译:根据网站上的照片,我带着孙子前往桑德韦尔谷乡村公园的MTB Miners骑行道,原以为那里会有一系列维护良好的路线,适合作为学习山地自行车骑行的入门之地。
首先,停车就成了一大难题:所有的付费机器都遭到了破坏,唯一付费的方式是通过应用程序,而该应用的注册流程也相当繁琐。
其次,完全没有指示牌指引我们前往山地自行车路线——我甚至询问了附近的两家游客中心/咖啡馆,但没人知道那些路线在哪里。最终,经过一番漫无目的的寻找后,我们纯属偶然才找到了地方。
可惜的是,这些路线根本无人维护,周边区域杂乱无章且满是垃圾,因此我和我的孙子都感到非常失望。因此,我不会向任何希望按照网站上所示路线骑行山地车的人推荐这个公园。
