Location Info
Kershope B is a defined section of Kershope Forest on the Scotland–England border, forming part of a large commercial forestry estate managed for timber production and outdoor recreation. The area consists mainly of conifer plantation set across rolling upland ground, with long internal forestry tracks connecting different compartments of the woodland.
Terrain is gently to moderately undulating, characteristic of the Border Forest region. Surfaces are predominantly firm forestry aggregate, designed for year-round vehicle access, with occasional natural earth or softer sections depending on current forestry operations and weather conditions.

SDAS
The Sled Dog Association of Scotland (SDAS) is a Scottish organisation dedicated to promoting and organising sled dog sports throughout Scotland. Founded in 1991 by Rick Miller, Neil Brown and Keron Miller, the association was the first group to establish a regular calendar of sled dog events in Scotland and helped place the country on the map within the UK mushing community.
The organisation runs a series of races and competitions each season, providing opportunities for both newcomers and experienced mushers to take part in sled dog sport. Events typically include dryland disciplines such as rig racing, scooter classes, bikejoring and canicross, with races often held over two-day formats that contribute to an overall championship series.
Through organised events, membership programmes and a volunteer committee, SDAS supports a community of sled dog enthusiasts across Scotland. The association emphasises sportsmanship, inclusivity and enjoyment of the sport while providing a structured environment for competitors at all levels to train, race and develop their teams.
In the UK sled dog landscape, SDAS functions as one of the main regional racing organisations, particularly focused on Scotland’s dryland racing scene and championship series events.
