Eaton Bank - 7 miles (11.2km)

The route starts and finishes opposite the Co-op in Little Eaton.  This route is 80% off-road with much of it on paths through woodland and can be slippery underfoot with mud and tree roots.  A pair of trail/off-road shoes are essential and a good headtorch is an absolute must.

There are no toilet or changing facilities.

Carsington Water - 8 miles (12.8km)

The route starts and finishes at the Miners Arms pub in Carsington Village and after a brief section of road the route follows the path around the outside of Carsington Reservoir. The path is firm underfoot and can be completed in road running shoes but a a pair of trail/off-road shoes wouldn't go amiss.  Headtorch required.

There are no changing facilities but but if you ask nicely you can use the toilets in the pub.
