SHCGB Carron Valley Rally
Sat 16th November '19
- Sun 17th Nov '19
Location Info
Carron Valley Forest sits in central Scotland between Stirling and Kilsyth. Managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, it contains extensive conifer plantations, a reservoir, and well-engineered forestry roads.
Terrain is moderately hilly, reflecting the Campsie Fells and Kilsyth Hills. Surfaces are mainly firm gravel forestry tracks with consistent gradients.
Course Description
Many of you will know that Carron Valley is not by any means a walk in the park, it can be quite demanding, especially for the smaller teams, however the breathtaking scenery makes it worth the effort.
The trail takes a long uphill from the start, followed by a long downhill with one or two sharp bends. The surface for the first 2 miles is hard packed and is wide enough for passing.
The trail returns along the side of the reservoir (nice views!) and can be wet in places. The second half of the trail is mostly flat, with a short hill just before the finish.

SHCGB
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.
