The club are running our club championships next weekend, also Cairngorm are running a hill race on the Sunday which will be the Scottish Championships this year. Here are the entry forms
Here are the results from the rollerski races at Cairngorm
Photos are available from the Cairngorm Website.
Here are some photos from David Horsley of the hill climb. I’m told it was extremely wet. Thanks to the MacLeans for providing the teepee.
The sprints were held today. The despite the damage to the track last Autumn a full program of racing was completed with Novice and Elite Courses and a knock-out. Attendance appeared to be a bit down on last year, but a strong team from Cairngorm Biathlon And Nordic Ski Club meant there was tough competition. In addition the RAF team was in attendance lead by Steve Perry. The
Club member Andrew Young took first place in the Men’s Elite competition, follwed closely by Alex Standen. Hopefully this is a good sign for Alex’s upcoming Winter season. Cairngorm U16 member Calumn Irvine took third place, marking him as someone to keep an eye on in future.
With Sarah Young competing in the men’s competition, Highland Nordic’s Katy Homyer took the laurels in the Women’s competition. Unfortunately Catriona Dudgeon took a nasty fall in the 500m time trial which knocked her out of the day’s competition. Full results below
Thanks to the Lovely Timing Ladies

Here’s Pete’s updated rollerski calendar
Club members are invited to attend the British Nordic Ski Squad Celebration Day on Sun 2nd May at the Huntly Nordic & Outdoor Centre. This is your chance to meet some of the BNDS athletes, coaches & helpers & celebrate a pretty successful season for the Squad.
At the 5km F FIS race at Ylitornio in Finland at the weekend Posy Musgrave broke the magic 120 FIS pts barrier (119.47 pts) to earn herself World Cup qualifier. In the same race just 3secs behind Posy was Sarah Young which was a tantalising 2 secs outside a World Cup qualification standard (122.65 pts). Better luck next time Sarah! It’s great to see our first Women’s world cup start.
Rick has contacted me to highlight the Ming Endurance event which will be held on May 15
. It has been very well attended in the last few years . There are two courses to choose from and there is also the Ceilidh in the evening. The endurance event is free with donations to British Nordic Development Squad. The Ceilidh is also in aid of BNDS, tickets from Rick.

Here’s the Pete’s view of this Summer’s rollerski schedule.
Here’s a link to the Norwegina Junior Championships website about Andrew Musgrave and his time in Norway to improve his skiing. He’s very complimentary about Huntly Nordic Ski Club. It’s in Norwegian but I’m told Google Translator does a good job. It’s got a good photo of Andrew at the bottom!
