Location Info
Ringwood Forest lies on the Dorset–Hampshire border and consists of mixed conifer plantations, heathland edges and long straight forestry tracks. The forest forms part of a wider network of managed woodland blocks.
Terrain is gently undulating, transitioning toward the New Forest lowlands. Surfaces include gravel forestry roads, compacted earth and sandy sections depending on location.
Course Description
Mostly well-drained Forestry gravel. Some good running grass tracks will be used, if weather allows.

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BSA is no longer active, and the organisation appears to have ceased operations.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.
