Trails: Those of you who have raced Rendlesham before will be aware of the near-perfect trail conditions even after heavy rain. The venue offers grass trails with sandy stretches. Dog boots will not be necessary but you might like to bring a compass and map for the many turns !!! Don’t let the many turns put you off, it keeps the dogs happy and adds to the fun of the Rendlesham Rally. Suffolk can be warm so trail distances may vary.
