There are two categories in the competition - Standard and Novice.
• Novice: those entering in a National competition for the first time.• Standard: anybody that has already entered and completed the course of the caravan
manoeuvring competitions at any National before.

As an increasing number of people discover the health benefits of rambling come and take a walk across some of the beautiful sights of the National event and surrounding countryside. A common misunderstanding is that rambling clubs are only for the ultra-fit - those who can keep up a quick pace for miles on end, over rough terrain and whilst carrying a heavy backpack. The truth is, anybody who can walk can join our Scottish ramble - walk for pleasure in the countryside.
