Totley Moor

Hi all,
From looking at the DPFR website Carshare section it would appear that the route for the Totley Moor Fell Race has altered slightly.
The change looks like a improvement.

Just thought I would bump this thread for no other reason than I enjoyed the race last night, despite it being far too hilly for my skinny roadrunner legs

remind me next year to ride my bike to the start so I can avoid the nightmare that is getting down Penny Lane afterwards

You can of course go down the other road that approaches the pub from the opposite side (can't remember what its called)
I saw some people doing that last night.
I enjoyed this race, I think it is wrongly categorised as I worked it out to be about 1400' over 5.2 miles which I reckon is a category A NOT a B as advertised. I am not complaining however as I enjoyed this race.

I think the new route accounts for the difference in mileage / height gain details from those published. In my opinion the route was an improvement over the old one although I still get confused between the this race and the Blackamore Chase which covers very similar ground.

Thouroughly enjoyable, pity my running wasn't upto scratch.

Anyone else going to the Totley Moor race on Tuesday? Also, anyone got route info? Ususally there's a route on the totley ac website for their races but I can't find one for this....,

Hi Paul, I'll be there. Equally baffled about the course though, just aware that its slightly shorter and slightly steeper than Burbage Skyline last week. And a quid more than the FRA handbook says...

But will you both be there tonight for the Wasp race ????

We all struggle to remember the courses for Totley and Blackamoor.

Someone may correct me, but off the top of my head:

Cricket Inn
Along road until it runs out about 293 800
Contour path until about 293 788
Straight up past false summit cairn 288 789 then totley moor trig
North to Moss Road then west to 280 796 (this bit I'm not 100% about, I think the route follows the OS marked right of way to 295 802)
Best bit: up the "sting in the tail" road to the stile at 291 798).
Fast blast back to Cricket, via fields rather than the road we used outward.

If I can get away from work in time...yes! That may prove tricky though.
