SSHC Tentsmuir Forest Rally

Sat 18th December '10
- Sun 19th Dec '10

Location Info

Tentsmuir Forest in Fife is a coastal pine plantation set over former dunes and flat sandy ground. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it includes long straight gravel forestry roads and sandy paths toward the beach.

Terrain is flat with slight dune-derived undulation. Surfaces range from firm forestry aggregate to sand depending on proximity to the coast.

Course Description

The organisers have laid out an interesting ‘flat’ course with plenty of opportunities to test your Gee’s and Haw’s, with trail surfaces varying from hard packed forest track interlinked with predominantly grass trails to areas of sand which may be used for the larger teams.

These trails are without doubt some of the most ‘dog friendly’ of the championships and boots should not be required. Distances may be altered at the discretion of the organiser and prevailing weather conditions. Follow the signs along the main tarmac road heading for the public car park. The race site will be well sign posted from there.

Due to the layout of the forest, it is sometimes necessary to run the race over part of the access road, which means that the road may be closed during classes. Verify this prior to the race weekend! Forestry gates are sometimes locked after the main car park is opened so it would be advisable to arrive early.

Scottish Siberian Husky Club

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.
