For the past twenty years or so, the skating techniques have been very strong in cross-country, but are the classical techniques now enjoying a real their comeback? Paddy Field firmly believes they are.

You could win two free tickets to Hedda, a brand new version of the psychological thriller Hedda Gabler by Ibsen. This play is presented by the Ibsen Stage Company from 3-14 February at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.

Nasty injuries sustained by one of our members in doing just that has resulted in two places becoming unexpectedly available for the Club trip to Ramsau 3-10 January.

Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 8:16 Want to roller ski with a friendly group of people who are working towards physical and technical improvement ready for their snow trips? There’s a structured programme of practice and skiers of any standard are welcomed.
The aim is to give equal time to classical and skating – recently the focus has been on extending length of glide and now gentle speed work is being added to the programme. The group reports that no times were taken but the group were all breathing heavily and found parts of their lungs that they didn’t know they had!!
Sessions take place every Saturday afternoon from 2 - 4 pm then it's time for cakes and tea chez Field followed by the kitchen table being used as a workbench to attach bindings, shorten poles and sharpen tips.
Locations vary so for more details please contact Hilary or Paddy on 01252 626339 or e-mail paddyfield@ski-nordic.co.uk
