Come roller ski-ing in Hampshire/Surrey

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
