ABSA Wareham Forest Championship Rally
Sat 10th January '04
- Sun 11th Jan '04
Location Info
Wareham Forest in Dorset is a large plantation of conifers and heathland managed by Forestry England. It includes long straight forestry roads, open heath edges and sandy trails characteristic of the local geology.
Terrain is gently rolling. Surfaces range from firm forestry aggregate to softer sandy sections, especially near the heathland.
Course Description
Varied trails including hard packed soil, soft grass, gravel, woodland paths, occasional mud and sand. We have tried to avoid where possible, and therefor minimise the use of the “normal” stony gravel Wareham tracks. The course can be very fast in places but also very challenging in the other parts. Boots may be required for some dogs – please use your common sense.
