SHCGB Friston Forest Rally
Sun 20th February '05
- Sun 20th Feb '05
Location Info
Friston Forest, managed by Forestry England, sits on the South Downs near Eastbourne. The woodland includes broadleaf and conifer plantations with gravel access tracks and chalk-based paths.
Terrain reflects the rolling South Downs landscape, with long, gentle slopes. Surfaces are mainly firm aggregate with some chalk and flint sections.
Course Description
Most of the trail is fairly flat with slight incline gradients along with some short downhill runs; although there are some fairly steep short inclines. The overall course has many turns and is fair on the dog’s feet; mostly compacted forest earth, grass and compact type-one gravel made up service road. Please note that there is a risk that the trail may contain a small amount of loose flint – although soft verge 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.
