Hope you've had a good summer - I'm writing this from rural
But, with skiing in mind, and not letting the current weather put us off, we
have one of our fullest autumn programmes to date.
2007/8 will be our third full season of rollerski
instruction - and we hope to build on everything we've learnt to date, to make
it our best.
I'd encourage you to read on, and book early onto a course. We have 1-day
courses at
Finally, for turning rollerski skills into skiing on
snow, we'd encourage you to book one of the Exodus / Waymark
courses featured on our website.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
This year, we are recommending ski weeks run by Exodus / Waymark,
which fit best with our rollerski programme.
This saves the additional cost of flying us out for a week, and their staff
will provide excellent instruction.
You can see our recommendations at
http://www.rollersk
Additionally, if you book one of these trips (or any
Exodus Winter Activity Holiday) we will give you a £25pp reduction on rollerski instruction or equipment (for you or your club).
We plan to offer a shorter 3-day preparation course before a couple of the ski
marathons (at the moment we are considering the Engadin
and Koenig Ludwig Lauf races). More details to follow
on this.
LES PARSONS
We're still hoping for a good turnout for our special
guest coach Les Parsons. It looks like there'll be plenty of adults along, but
not many kids. So if you know any children who may be interested, let them
know. All proceeds go to the Woodland Trust.
For more information, see http://www.rollersk
CASTLE COMBE
We'll be running a 1-day course at Castle Combe Race Circuit in Wiltshire on 28th October, along the
same lines as our
If you live in the South West, this is a very good chance to do a rollerski course, and avoid a drive up the M4. If it proves
popular we're likely to repeat the course - so please book up if you are
interested!
For more information see - http://www.rollersk
PS you may be interested to see the rollerski racing
taking place elsewhere on the circuit, on the same day - see below.
ROLLERSKI RACE ROUNDUP
For more information on the rollerski race results
and upcoming events this year, see http://www.rollersk
A highlight still to come is the inaugural Wessex Biathlon & Nordic Ski Club's 10k sprints. This
is the club's first race, but promises to be a good one, with an exceptionally
large entry from the military teams already. It will be interesting to see how
civilian racers compare to the army and RAF, especially as racers will be on
the same speed rollerskis (provided by the club).

People often ask if rollerskiing is a new invention.
To prove it's not, here's some archive footage of a rollerski
