AVTIMING

Two Turtle Doves is back for 2024. Two fell run is a 7.8km off road trail/fell race taking in some of the wonderful paths through Blacka Moor woods and over Totley Moor.

​

The route:

TTD is 7.8km with 270 metres of ascent making it a BS category race. Due to access on Blacka Moor and Totley Moor the route is entirely on PRoW is partially marked. Flags must be followed at all times.
 

The Course:
A swift lap of the cricket pitch and then off out along Strawberry Lee Lane, the first climb is short and sharp up the sharp turn and steep descent back down to the stepping stones/river crossing. From here a longer but steadier climb takes you up to the Devil’s Elbow and on to less steep but still uphill drag to the top tip of Blacka Moor Woods. Out the woodland and onto the rough bridleway dropping down into the sheep field. A gentle descent on lush green pasture brings you to the final climb, it’s not big but there’s a good chance it’ll be muddy! From here is a long flat over Totley Moor for a kilometre or so and then it’s the final descent back down to the cricket pitch and a final customary loop.

Mandatory kit:

Due to the time of year you will be asked to carry full FRA Best Practice kit (Waterproof whole body cover (taped seams and attached hood) + hat + gloves + map + compass + whistle + emergency food). Should the weather be very kind the RO reserves the right to reduce the minimum kit required. Ensure you bring EVERYTHING just in case.
