SDAS Devilla Rally
Sat 25th October '03
- Sun 26th Oct '03
Location Info
Devilla Forest in Fife is a conifer plantation with several small lochs and a well-developed network of forestry tracks. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it is known for wide gravel roads and accessible waymarked routes.
Terrain is gently rolling, reflecting the low hills east of Kincardine. Surfaces are mostly firm gravel forestry roads.
Please remember the forest roads are quite narrow and park well to the side to allow other vehicles to pass. Please also remember this forest is well used by local dog walkers, ample warning signs will be placed to the forest entrances but we must be prepared for pedestrians – both two and four legged kind!
Course Description
The surface is generally very good, mostly hard packed shale or earth with plenty of passing room, boots should not be required for fit feet. Not a demanding trail, mainly flat or undulating with lots of turns and interest for the dogs.
Depending on trails used, there may be one or two sharp bends for the B & C classes. The forest is popular with walkers, especially on Sundays. Although there have been no problems to date, good manners are vital if we are to keep this venue.
Directions
The forest lies adjacent to the north side of the A985 Kincardine-on-Forth to Dunfermline road, approximately 1.5 miles east of Kincardine. Entrance to the forest will be signposted.
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.
