SCS Wareham Forest Championship Rally
Sat 4th January '14
- Sun 5th Jan '14
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.

SCS
South Coast Sled Dogs was an affiliated organisation that enabled events to be held under the banner of the British Sleddog Activities (BSA). Through this affiliation, events operated within the standards, guidelines, and competitive framework recognised by the BSA, ensuring they met the established expectations for sled dog sports in the UK.
Working alongside the BSA allowed South Coast Sled Dogs to provide organised opportunities for mushers, handlers, and dog teams to take part in structured races and activities. The affiliation supported the development of sled dog sports locally while maintaining alignment with the wider community and governing practices associated with British Sleddog Activities.
