SSHC Rendlesham Forest Rallies
Sat 4th February '12
- Sun 5th Feb '12
Location Info
Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk is a large conifer plantation managed by Forestry England. It contains wide gravel forestry roads, straight plantation corridors and denser woodland sections.
Terrain is mostly flat, shaped by the sandy soils of the wider Breckland landscape. Surfaces are predominantly firm forestry aggregate with some sandy patches under tree cover.
Course Description
Rendlesham forest was largely destroyed by the high winds of October 1987, but the new tree growth is now making the area seem more like forest again! The venue offers wonderful grass trails with short crossover sections of rounded pebbles and also some sandy stretches, and these are unspoilt by forest working – for obvious reasons.
The gently undulating terrain will be enjoyed by all. You might like to bring a compass and map for the many turns !!! Don’t let the many turns put you off, it keeps the dogs happy and adds to the fun of the Rendlesham Rally.

SSHC
The Scottish Siberian Husky Club (SSHC) is a UK breed club dedicated to the promotion, welfare and responsible ownership of the Siberian Husky in Scotland. The organisation brings together owners, breeders and enthusiasts who share an interest in the breed’s history, health and working heritage.
The club organises a range of activities including Championship and Open dog shows, educational resources on breed health and standards, and working rallies where owners can participate in traditional husky harness activities. These events highlight the breed’s dual role as both a show dog and a working sled dog.
Alongside its events programme, the Scottish Siberian Husky Club provides guidance on responsible ownership, breeding ethics and welfare through its code of ethics, educational materials and welfare initiatives. Through these efforts the club works to preserve the characteristics, health and working ability that define the Siberian Husky as a northern working breed.
