Another great turn out with 11 runners starting out from Dore and another one waiting for us at the top..

We covered Stages 3 and 4, technically 4 then 3, but you get the idea. After slogging up hill for 5k we then turned round and ran back down in the more othodox approach.

Stage 3 : 2.5km Limb Valley Descent Wide open grassy trail, leading into windy, flowing singletrack down through the Limb Valley, a real nice downhill section that everyone is bound to enjoy. Our personal favourite.

Liason between 3-4 A short walk / jog across the main road and down onto the playing fields to the start of the trailhead.

Stage 4 : 1.8km Ecclesall Woods Having crossed Eccleshall road south on the liason between stages, we are into Eccleshall woods, a favourite with locals. The first section stretches through pine, skipping between roots and pine needles, then up onto the main trail and down through to Abbeydale Road.

Another great outing ahead of the big day!

See you all next week.
