For the final long distance event of Moray 2023 we take you to the delights of Culbin Forest with an arena tucked down below the “raised beach” which borders the forest. Access to the forest from the arena, which will be used for both days, is by kind permission of Davie and Dawn Nicholson and Forestry Land Scotland.
Culbin was planted between the wars to stabilise shifting sand dunes; the resulting open pine forest on complex topography is perfect for orienteering. The forest is mainly runnable with good visibility though some pockets of gorse and deeper heather do exist.
ALL campervans, motorhomes and any low-slung vehicle will NOT be able to park at the arena and will be required to park nearby and walk approximately 1.5km.
Dogs are permitted in the parking and arena.
