AMCUK Carron Valley Rally
Sat 3rd February '18
- Sun 4th Feb '18
Location Info
Carron Valley Forest sits in central Scotland between Stirling and Kilsyth. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it contains extensive conifer plantations, a reservoir, and well-engineered forestry roads.
Terrain is moderately hilly, reflecting the Campsie Fells and Kilsyth Hills. Surfaces are mainly firm gravel forestry tracks with consistent gradients.
Course Description
Many of you will know that Carron Valley is not by any means a walk in the park, it can be quite demanding, especially for the smaller teams, however the breathtaking scenery makes it worth the effort.
The trail takes a long uphill from the start, followed by a long downhill with one or two sharp bends. The surface for the first 2 miles is hard packed and is wide enough for passing.
The trail returns along the side of the reservoir (nice views!) and can be wet in places. The second half of the trail is mostly flat, with a short hill just before the finish.
