Following the success of our previous events, we are delighted to offer our 17th Nordic Walking Programme with Ruth Aaron of Berkshire Nordic Walking, who will be working with us to deliver a wellbeing and health focussed event. She will be taking you on a gentle journey of discovery in the fresh air through beautiful scenery with others who have been affected by cancer.
We are keen to encourage new people to come along and would welcome any enquiries if you have questions. You can email Vickie for more information.
You will meet at Holme Grange Craft Village, and then the lovely route will take you through Gray's Farm and into Gorrick Woods. You will then finish at the Craft Village with refreshments in the cafe.
Y ou can get an idea of how it works from this video on Instagram.
A s previous attendees have described it 'Nordic Walking- a ramble with sticks followed by coffee, cake and laughter!'
If you've never tried it before, don't worry, the poles give you more stability and we cater for all abilities. Come along and give it a try.
Come and explore the wonderful world of Nordic Walking! On our 6 week Beginners/Intermediate course at a venue to be updated, we will introduce you to the Nordic Walking Technique which utilises 90% of the body’s major muscles, burning up to 40% more calories than normal walking whilst reducing the pressure off your knees, back and hips.
Most importantly all our sessions are fun and very social. You are very likely to leave our sessions full of energy, less stressed and sleeping better. Each session will start with a warm up, followed by technique work and 1.5 –2.5 mile walk, ending with a cool down and stretches. We look forward to welcoming you. We always aim to chat afterwards and enjoy getting to know each other.
