NSDSC Culbin Rally
Sat 3rd January '09

Event Info
Trail – 11 miles(ish). Encouraging the work testing of sleddogs in the UK
Location Info
Culbin Forest in Moray is a large coastal pine plantation managed by Forestry and Land Scotland. It features an extensive network of gravel forestry tracks and sandy trails due to the dune system beneath the forest.
Terrain is predominantly flat with some dune-formed undulations. Surfaces vary between firm aggregate and sandy sections.
Course Description
Great trails, mostly flat and miles and miles of them, with a nice mix of surfaces, from hard packed to grass, and not too muddy (we hope !). The exact distances run will depend on weather conditions, but expect a good work out!
