Tuesday run routes (summer)

Descriptions and maps of the club routes we run on Tuesday evenings during spring and summer.

Routes from Tilsley Park

These routes are either off-road or on rural roads that are not lit, so are more suitable for spring and summer.

Leaving from Tilsley Park, going as far as Chilswell farm and as near as Bayworth. A lot of up and down. Possible mud.

Radley College and Radley Wood (TP2 )

All routes are a mix of tracks and quiet lanes.
