Re: Route of Tiger's Todger
Last time I did it the start was at the rugby club. you then ran down the main road to the bottom of Whirlow Valley where we turned left and ran up the valley to Ringinglow. Left at the top and over the Roman Road (Houndkirk) to the far end and down to Fox House Inn where we did a u turn and ran back up the road, down the hill, left as if going to Ringinglow, right down Long Line and then right at the bottom and back to the rugby club. However it was 10 miles then and now its 6 miles so I guess its a similar route but with less road?
If your lad is new to this lark another race he could try is the Burbage Skyline from Fox House a week after Todger
Re: Route of Tiger's Todger
Thanks B.R. - We're doing the Burbage Skyline as well - I've done that one a few times; good race, I know the route and we can recce it no probs.
It's just that the Todger is the week before and it'd be good if we could recce it beforehand to steady his nerves (he's convinced he'll trail in last despite my protestations to the contrary).
If anyone knows the six mile route rather than the original ten mile route I'd be grateful.

Re: Route of Tiger's Todger
I missed last year's race but the year before it was up the Limb Valley, through Lady Canning's Plantation, emerge at Oxstones trig and then drop back down to Long Line for a return (I don't think we went close to Fox House).
An odd route for a Fell Race, not much Fell but a good race if you like woodland running, and a very fast return route. Lots of road, if I do it this year I'll use trail shoes.
