Please ensure that you then take the Ashley Heath/Three Legged Cross/Horton exit at this Roundabout and not the A338 to Bournemouth.

Follow the Park road, bear right and away from Golf Course entrance, and pick up the one-way system. Our allocated parking is to the far side of the Park car park, near the Forestry Commission office, and convenient to both Start and Finish – please pay attention to our own car park signs.
SDE
Sled Dog Events (SDE) was a UK organisation associated with Affiliated British Sleddog Activities (ABSA) that provided both event support and a registration system for sled dogs. The SDE Register, run by Lynn Harrison, was created for purebred, Kennel Club-recognised sled dog breeds that did not hold official KC registration papers.
The register operated on a case-by-case basis, with each dog assessed individually before being issued a registration number. Importantly, all registrations were granted under a strict no-breeding policy, ensuring the scheme did not encourage the breeding of unregistered dogs while still allowing them to participate in the sport.
Dogs registered with SDE were eligible to compete in ABSA standard classes and most other sled dog events, providing an accessible route into competition for owners whose dogs could not be formally KC registered. The organisation helped bridge a practical gap in the sport, supporting participation while maintaining a level of breed verification and oversight.
