SHCGB Broxa Forest Rally
Sat 29th December '07
- Sun 30th Dec '07
Location Info
Broxa Forest lies in the North York Moors area and is managed by Forestry England. It consists largely of conifer plantation with wide, gravel forestry tracks throughout.
Terrain is moderately hilly, shaped by the moorland valleys and forested ridges of the region. Surfaces are standard forestry aggregate.
Course Description
Situated on a high plateau on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, the trail is mainly flat with sone slight inclines and descents. The surface is of mainly grass, dirt, packed sand and a short stretch of smooth chalk forest road. Dog boots should not be needed for fit feet. Due to its elevation, the venue is prone to snow at this time of year.
Exact distances and trails will be dictated by weather conditions over the race weekend. Any changes will be posted on the race notice board.
Broxa is currently not used for husky training so we would like to make a good impression with the local Forestry to allow us to continue to use this venue for future events. It is generally not a busy forest, but as Scarborough is in close proximity there may be members of the public present. Normal courtesy from all competitors will be greatfully appreciated. Catering will be in attendance and toilets will be available.

SHCGB
The Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain (SHCGB) is the UK’s national breed club dedicated to the promotion and welfare of the Siberian Husky. Formed with the permission of The Kennel Club in 1977, the organisation was established to educate owners, encourage responsible breeding and promote the working heritage of the breed in the United Kingdom.
The club brings together enthusiasts, breeders and owners who share an interest in Siberian Huskies, whether for companionship, showing or working activities. It organises Open and Championship dog shows each year and supports winter working rallies where owners and their dogs can participate in harness activities and trail events.
Alongside its events, the club provides guidance on responsible ownership, breeding ethics and the health of the breed. Through education, shows and working activities, the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain works to preserve the characteristics and traditional capabilities that define the Siberian Husky as a northern working dog.
