Saturday 25 January - Twilight roller ski tour in Richmond Park

4.30pm Saturday 25 January

Come on a twilight roller ski tour of Richmond Park

As we had to cancel our December tour due to bad weather we've rescheduled this event.  Come and join in the fun when Club roller skiers will meet at Richmond Park for a tour of the park by torchlight.  It's a relaxed and informal event which provides a good opportunity to meet other members. The roads close to traffic at dusk and so at 4.30pm we start outside Sheen Gate for a circular tour of the park, a distance of about 7.5 miles.

With no traffic to worry about and plenty of space we take a leisurely pace.  We stop regularly to regroup with a break halfway to enjoy cakes and gluhwein at one of the park's viewpoints.

The tour is usually over by about 6.30pm. Afterwards there is the option of a trip to a local Indian restaurant.

What to do next

• To participate please register in advance and no later than 6pm Friday 24 January.  You can also tell us if you would like to go for an Indian meal afterwards when you register.  You need to be a member of LRNSC or join the Club to participate.
