Balloch Wood   16 & 17 February 2008
                 by Keith, Aberdeenshire
The Trail

This is not a race !!!
The choice of 6 or 9 mile trails offers you the opportunity to work test your team.


The trails are challenging, a couple of climbs, some good downhill sections and overall "a wee bitty" undulating. The trail surface is mainly firm and hard packed.
An optional water stop will be available on the 9 mile trail.



Getting There

Balloch Wood is accessed off the A96 going through the town of Keith.
Please find attached map for directions and the trail route.
