BSA Wareham Forest Rally
Sat 3rd December '16
- Sun 4th Dec '16
Location Info
Wareham Forest in Dorset is a large plantation of conifers and heathland managed by Forestry England. It includes long straight forestry roads, open heath edges and sandy trails characteristic of the local geology.
Terrain is gently rolling. Surfaces range from firm forestry aggregate to softer sandy sections, especially near the heathland.
Course Description
Varied trails including hard packed soil, soft grass, gravel, woodland paths, occasional mud and sand. We have tried to avoid where possible, and therefor minimise the use of the “normal” stony gravel Wareham tracks. The course can be very fast in places but also very challenging in the other parts. Boots may be required for some dogs – please use your common sense.

BSA
British Sleddog Activities (BSA) was a UK sled dog organisation that provided an affiliation framework for clubs and independent organisers wishing to run races and rallies under a shared banner. The organisation allowed events to operate within a recognised structure while supporting cooperation between smaller teams and organisers.
Several clubs and event organisers staged races under the BSA banner, particularly within the UK dryland racing community. The organisation helped facilitate sled dog competitions during a period when the sport was spread across multiple smaller groups.
BSA is no longer active, and the organisation appears to have ceased operations. Many organisers who once ran events under its banner now participate in races organised by other UK sled dog associations.
