About Us

WHERE
Based at the purpose built Olympic Biathlon Training Centre Glenmore Lodge
(Aviemore, Inverness-shire), Scotland’s National Outdoor Training Centre
is located in the heart of Cairngorm National Park.
Rollerskiing on smooth tarred tracks, substitutes cross-country skiing on snow & takes part on
the custom built tracks at Glenmore Lodge & in the surrounding areas in the Spey Valley,
where the road or cycle track surfaces permit.
Biathlon target shooting is in the grounds at Glenmore Lodge at the range.
TRAINING SESSIONS
Training sessions by arrangement with the CBNSC only, members please see SESSIONS pages.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment is provided by the club for use at the training sessions only.
Members are required to bring a cycle helmet, which must be worn,
sorry, but failure to comply will mean ABSOLUTELY NO rollerskiing
The following are recommended;
* old clothes, as falls onto knees, elbows & backsides are probable
* thin gloves
* knee pads or doubled up tubigrip under clothing adds an extra layer
* water bottle...THIS IS A MUST, there are no drink supplies handy
* waterproofs
Mike Dixon can advise what equipment is required for the individual, for use outside of club training

BLINK FESTIVAL 2010 - TV Reports - A " must see" for any budding Biathletes or Nordic Ski Racers.
Well if we thought they weren't too bad this year we got our rude awakening this week! Yes, the Scottish Midge is alive and hungry, with me as seeminigly one of its main targets. Well done to everyone at training on Wednesday for your efforts in sticking to the task for so long, especially those hardy folk who actually made it right to the end. Thanks to Glenmore Lodge for allowing access to the Gym in the face of the midge onslaught. The Biathlon Training Group on Thursday enjoyed some good training on the upper section of the ski road which was not affected by the resurfacing earlier in the summer. Still a few midges but nice to see a couple of Reindeer for company near the Coire Cas Car Park.

GB ROLLERSKI SERIES A new website has been created specifically for the GB Rollerski Series. Click on the link at the start of this notice to view.
The next race in the GB Rollerski Series will be the Huntly Championships on 11 Sept. On Sunday 12th the Highland Nordic run 'Cairngorm classic' takes place which is a part of the Scottish Series and also acts as the Scottish Rollerski Championship for 2010. Highland Nordic Ski Club have posted the following information on their website concerning the race: Part of the course (from Glenmore to above the Sugar Bowl) has been resurfaced. There are fewer loose stones and potholes but the surface is slower than previous races. We still plan to run the races over the same courses. (July 2010) The final two events in the GB Series are at Lancaster (CT & FT Sprints) on Sat 2 Oct (4pm) and at Wessex (Castle Combe) on Sun 24 Oct (9, 6, 3km races).
