ENTRIES OPEN
https://scottish6days.com/day-information/day-5/
Glen Dye is a large classic Deeside forest, close to Aberdeen and is very popular for all scales of orienteering events. Surprisingly it has not been used for the Scottish 6 Days since 2005 but the last Major event was the Scottish Championships in 2022.
The area contains the full range of terrain one expects on Deeside. The valley floor comprises complex moraine contour detail in mature coniferous forest while the steep valley sides have abundant rock detail. Visibility and runnability varies greatly across the area adding to the complexity.
Clear felling and storm damage has reduced the area recently but there is still a bewildering variety of challenges in this quality orienteering terrain.
Glen Dye is used with the kind permission of Glen Dye Estate.
For the elite classes only, this will be a Long Distance World Ranking Event.
