SSHC Carron Valley Rally
Sat 16th February '19
- Sun 17th Feb '19
Location Info
Carron Valley Forest sits in central Scotland between Stirling and Kilsyth. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it contains extensive conifer plantations, a reservoir, and well-engineered forestry roads.
Terrain is moderately hilly, reflecting the Campsie Fells and Kilsyth Hills. Surfaces are mainly firm gravel forestry tracks with consistent gradients.
Course Description
Many of you will know that Carron Valley is not by any means a walk in the park, it can be quite demanding, especially for the smaller teams, however the breathtaking scenery makes it worth the effort.
The trail takes a long uphill from the start, followed by a long downhill with one or two sharp bends. The surface for the first 2 miles is hard packed and is wide enough for passing.
The trail returns along the side of the reservoir (nice views!) and can be wet in places. The second half of the trail is mostly flat, with a short hill just before the finish.

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.
