Some great action shots of the husky dog teams in action pulling wheeled rigs on forest roads. The first shot shows a six dog team and the large picture a four dog team. The forest roads and tracks are very desirable locations for the teams to practice and race as they afford long and variable routes giving the dogs less chance of getting familiar with the terrain and thus learning to pace them selves.

Can anyone identify the location – possibly in Morayshire?
