Nordic Walking week commencing 12th November, 2018

Hi Walkers,

Just breathtaking views and colours this past week out on the trails. I have been going a bit nuts as far as taking pics this week but I can’t help myself! Thanks for putting up with my antics!

THURSDAY’S WALK

This week we are starting our Thursday class a bit later so we can have a nice cuppa after the walk at the Cross Keys Pub. This is only a temporary time change and for this location only. This is a new walk and very pleasant and completely flat! You can stride out without the worry of roots and holes on this one.

CHARITY PUB WALK –

11:30am – Saturday 17th November – 6.5 miles
Starting at The White Horse in Husborne Crawley (MK43 0XE). Parking in the paddock through the gate in the car park. This is a very popular and really fun walk. Raising funds for Bedford Daycare Hospice and a brand new Industrial Blender; we will stroll around the magnificent countryside of Woburn and beyond. PLEASE NOTE THE POSTCODE IS MK43 0XE (and not what I put in the last email)

NEW GENTLE CLASS

Our new Gentle class will be starting in Cranfield on Monday at 10am. This class is aimed at those walkers who are getting back to fitness or wanting to build up endurance at a slower but steady pace. It is a 45 minute class.
