Ansty: Awesome farm based venue consisting of hilly grassland and large woodland areas. Probably the best venue you will ever get the chance to ride at!
Beaminster: A fast flowing event. Several miles of ‘sunken pathways’ make it totally unique. The rest of the circuit is made up of rolling grassland with a small wood and a small boggy area available for contrast for when conditions allow. Excellent venue used for SCEC British Championship Quad events

Dorchester (Kingston Maurward): Superb circuit consisting of rolling grassland, parkland, stubble ‘moto-x’ track and woodland in the grounds of the county agricultural college.
Hardye’s Monument: Compact but spectacular traditional Forestry Commission venue – has everything (except bogs thank heavens!)
Hethfelton: Really nice traditional woodland venue now used by DPMCC for their biennial ‘Hethfelton’ enduro. Run as a ‘Hare & Hounds’ but on a course intended to be more like a traditional forest enduro. Very popular with ‘old school’ riders but limited entry means you’ll have to be quick to get in.
Inside Park: Private woodland venue near Blandford. Perfect winter venue featuring good parking and a long flowing course of mostly woodland tracks. Although flowing the tracks are quite rutted in places, which together with numerous fallen trees, give the experts a chance to really show-off their skills while numerous alternative routes around the obstacles make ‘Inside Park’ a firm favourite with novice riders too.
Mexe Ranges: Royal Marines training ranges at Bovington. Fantastic venue - half sandy tracks, half woodland paths. Not technically difficult but physically quite demanding. Used to have a bottomless bog (thankfully now a more manageable obstacle!). We run these races in conjunction with the Royal Marines Poole based Enduro Club, they are VERY popular and civilian entries are limited so you have to be quick to get in.
Milton Abbas: Superb farm based venue. Mostly rolling grassland with a little stubble and some nice woodland. Lends itself well to our unique ‘Maze in the Maize’ style event. Likely to become a firm favourite!

Moreton (Pallington): Woodland venue consisting partly of Forestry Commission conifer plantations and partly of privately owned broadleaf woodland. Lots of nice contours and features joined by a superb network of fast tracks and meandering trails.

Okeford Hill: ‘Rough Country’ event based on one side of Okeford Hill. Very steep down-hills in places. Woodland at top featuring mostly technical trails. Small stream and bog at bottom for those that know how with much longer alternative for those that don’t. Some long sweeping stubble fields at the bottom give the guys a well earned rest! Next-door to Shillingstone Forest so may well be incorporated in SCEC’s future BEC rounds.
Somerley Park / Ringwood Forest: This is a vast venue and courses here vary enormously. Wide variety of terrain including free-drying sandy areas ideal for winter events. Other parts of the forest feature hills, bogs and quarries more suitable for summer events. Excellent all weather parking and access. Proposed venue for future SCEC ‘BEC’ events.
Rogershill Raceway: Commercial moto-x practice track owned by expert enduro rider Danny Hall. Features 2 long moto-x tracks with a shortish permanent enduro loop featuring numerous ingenious man-made obstacles and a little woodland. Great fun and venue for the Crescent Suzuki evening races.
Shillingstone Forest: Beautiful traditional forest venue. Route follows woodland paths and trails around the forest. Hilly in places. Biennial event usually run in May or June. Parking limited to forest tracks so entry limited. Part of proposed venue for future SCEC ‘BEC’ events
Stonedown Forest: Beautiful broadleaf forest venue on Cranbourne Chase. 6 mile course follows tracks and trails around the forest. Biennial event usually run in October. Parking limited to forest tracks so entry limited.
