SHCGB Tentsmuir Forest Rally

Sat 20th November '10
- Sun 21st Nov '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.

SHCGB

The Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain

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.
