Discussion
for anyone who has mot seen this .
From the event's facebook post:
The Snowman Rally team are disappointed to let you know that the event being planned for March 2nd 2024 will not go ahead.
We have had a couple of late setbacks with the original planned route and proposed changes to the way we engage with the landowners which leaves us in too uncertain a position to proceed.
Our focus now is to work hard to getting the event in a good place for the future.
We are grateful for the help received from the Scottish Rally Championship and from our Sponsors AM Phillip Trucktech.

The SRC have posted this, which explains a little more:
For 2024, following the expiry of the previous two year agreement for events to use forestry land, Forestry and Land Scotland Management have changed the processes involved in the administration and repair of the roads used for multi-venue forest events. A new agreement is still in the process of being finalised. All parties involved are continuing their strenuous efforts to get new agreements confirmed and finalised. This work is fully supported by Motorsport UK and the Scottish Rally Championship.
As stated by the organising team of The AM Phillip Trucktech Snowman Rally, the setbacks on the original planned route, and the proposed changes to how they engage with landowners has left them no option but to cancel this year’s event.

Very sad news
I never quite got to the crux of what happened with what sounded like a similar issue with the RAC =in Scotland cancelling a couple of stages up there, seems a fairly standard thing but now clearly it has been made tricky
