Hi,

Sorry late for this week’s email. Got home late from The River Festival where I work every 2 years and now find that my msn emails have changed format and everything is very slow so will keep this week’s email short and will see about it tomorrow when more with it! Hopefully you’ll all get this. Big thank you to the Mod Plus group who went out leaderless this past Saturday and had a great walk! Well done folks.

Hydration – Please bring drinks with you this week as it is meant to be warmer. I don’t mind carrying your bottles if needed. V.Imp.

Hi Guys,

I hear there was some good walks over the weekend and Monday, so well done to all who attended and thank you to my faithful helpers.

For the Mod Plus Saturday walkers, I am off again this Saturday too so there will be no Instructor. However if you do wish to walk let me know and I can tell you if others are wanting to walk and you can head off together.

NEW BEGINNERS COURSE

I will be doing a FAST TRACK Beginners course starting on Thursday July 28th at 6:30pm. Please tell all your friends and family to come along and learn the Nordic Technique. This Fast Track course will be £8 per session (usually £12.50) and will run for 3 weeks. Sessions are 45minutes. Yay!

NORDIC SOCIAL – MONTE’S TANDOORI

This Thursday evening is the Nordic Social in Cranfield at 7:30pm – Yummy. Please bring your own alcoholic drinks if you fancy a tipple otherwise there will be soft drinks available. Booking essential for this meal and as soon as possible if you haven’t done so already. Thanks!

Week Beginning 4th July 2016

Howdy Walkers,
Great fun last week on the walks but also some serious effort being put in so well done! Love to see some old faces coming back and getting back into Nordic. I forgot to mention last week about an awesome success by one of our walkers, Paula (pictured above with Virginia), in the 10K Grasmere Gallop in the Lake District and did she did fantastically well. Out of a huge field of over a hundred she was the 2nd fastest woman and came 7th overall in 27 degree heat. This course is tough will serious hills and she smashed it, so a massive WELL DONE to Paula! Yay!

Speaking of Nordic Walking Challenges, there is another one coming up on the 4th September in Swindon. Distances are 5K, 10K and 20K. You can enter by going on the British Nordic Walking website: http://britishnordicwalking.org.uk/pages/events If you are interested and want to car pool, just let me know. If you register, please register at team name: Elaine Kearns Nordic Walking. Fanx.

Another success by one of our super walkers and Walk Leader, Gordon who had two of his photographs picked for the Ampthill Great Park 2017 Calendar! Great job Gordon! If you are interested in getting your calendar, please let me know. They are £5 per calendar and that goes towards the all terrain scooter for the park. Great stuff!
