Day 3 takes us to Roseisle Forest and our second long distance event of Moray 2023 with kind permission of Forestry and Land Scotland. Roseisle Forest is a planned forest consisting of mostly open pine forest with some denser areas. Planted on coastal sand dunes which provide some complex topography with the sea bordering the north west of the area. There is a good network of forest roads and many smaller paths.
Parking for cars will be in a large, gently sloping field with approximately 10minute walk to the arena. Motorhome and campervan parking will be a different area, also around 10 minutes walk to the arena. Both walks will be along pavements and crossing roads.
