Nordic Walking week commencing 13th November, 2017

Hi Walkers,

Seeing some fantastic speeds this past week!  With the chilly mornings we all tend to speed up to get warm and it is great to see!  The increase in speed has great health benefits for the entire body;  Increased blood flow to muscles, more calories burned and Heart and lungs work harder and get stronger  Why isn’t everyone Nordic Walking?!

I will be needing menu choices for all the walkers who are coming to the Christmas lunch at The Chequers in Westoning.  The menu will be posted on our website: www.walk2fitness.co.uk.  if you can send me your choices by November 17th, that would be fab. Thanks.

Nordic Walking week commencing 6th November, 2017

Hi Walkers,

We were blessed with a lovely sunny day for our Pop Up walk last week as we walked 6 miles in some great countyside near Jordan’s Mill. Thanks to all who came!

We have a few more Pop Ups coming up so get your diaries out!

June M wanted to thank all of the Walkers who attended her Craft morning at her house. We look forward to next year June!

Thank you too to all the ladies who came to Blackpool and made it a laughter filled few days. Thanks to Sheelagh for organizing everything, even the knotted hankies for our head!

POP UP FRIDAY

(10am – Coffee Morning & Christmas Fayre after the walk. Church Hill, Aspley Guise MK17 8HW) – 4 miles – £5
Parking for this walk will be on the street on the corner of Church Hill and Church Street. We will be walking a lovely route around this pretty village and at the end there is a Christmas Fayre at the church. Some of our talented and creative Walkers will be there selling their wares and it should be a wonderful morning.

WEDNESDAY WALKS – New POP UP!

After feedback from our walkers, I have decided to do Pop Up Wednesday’s instead of our regular Wednesday walks. Therefore, as with our Pop Up Friday walks, they will be in various places and of varying lengths to give you more of a challenge and more variety. This does mean that they will not be every Wednesday but will Pop Up a couple of times a month. Yay!

Moderate & Gentle Plus – £5 or £4 if you have your own Poles
Striders & Gentle – £5

SPEED GRADING KEY:

We have some more recent graduates and some just about to complete their Technique Course, they are: Lesley, William, Frances, Kath, Gill and Judy.  Well done to you all and so happy you will be joining us on our walks.  Please remember if you decide to buy your own poles, to make sure they are Nordic Walking Poles and not Trekking poles. I am happy to help you if you have any questions. Thanks.

June’s Christmas Craft Sale – Thursday 26th October 

It’s that time of year again when June opens her home for us to peruse her wonderful handmade quilting gifts to buy.

There will also be Tea/coffee and homemade cakes for a small donation.  I have arranged for us to have our walk from Biddenham Pavilion on Thursday as it’s only a few mere steps to June’s from there.  This will be a flat walk and paws will be needed.  Yipee!

Nordic Walking week commencing 16th October, 2017

Hi Walkers,

What a generous bunch of walkers we have at Walk2Fitness! We raised £160 from the Children In Need Countryfile Ramble on Saturday and from your kind donations. Thanks you all so much. It was perfect conditions for a walk and seeing all the autumn colours in the woods made it a real treat of a walk.

Our Woburn Pub Lunch was as good as always and seeing the Deer, Black Squirrels and Red Kites made it real nature walk. The Green Man is a fave of many of us and the lunches didn’t disappoint. A lovely morning, thanks for your company.

We had a great group attend the British Nordic Walking 10k Challenge in Black Park today and not only did our Walk2Fitness Walkers WIN the Fastest Team with Helen, Paul, and Howard clocking fab times, Paula won the overall Fastest British lady Champion 2017 again this year! What a great accomplishment by Paula and by all my walkers who came today and put in great performances. Well done everyone. Woohoo!

Nordic Walking week commencing 9th October, 2017

Hi Walkers,

Autumn is definitely here and what a great season for Nordic Walking.  The fresh mornings and awesome colours make this one of my favourite time of year for walking.  With the falling leaves we have to take extra care on the trails due to hidden hazards like roots and uneven ground.  If you don’t yet have a pair of waterproof walking shoes or boots, now would be the time to get them.

PUB LUNCH WALK — WEDNESDAY 11th October – Gentle Walk

Because we didn’t get many takers for our Cotswolds trip I’ve decided to cancel it.  We will however do a Cotswold Walk & Shop in late November to enjoy the Christmas offerings there.  Instead we are going to do a Gentle paced walk from Woburn to Eversholt which is 3 miles through stunning scenery. We will then partake in a hearty lunch at The Green Man.  I will be sending out the menu to you before Wednesday for you to pick your choices.  As this is a linear walk I would ask you to park at The Green Man in Eversholt at 10:45am.  We will then ferry you to the start in Woburn.  Please Book onto this walk via the website or text. £6. Thanks.

COUNTRYFILE RAMBLE FOR CHILDREN IN NEED – £6 –

The Ramble will be a 5 miler from Ampthill Park West Car Park and walking around the Centreparcs perimeter. ALL proceeds raised on this walk will go to Children In Need. Tea & filter coffee at the Hub at the end of the walk is on me. Thank you.

Black Park Challenge 10k – 15th October

Come join us for this great 5 or 10k challenge next Sunday!  You have to Register by tonight as entries close.  Go to https://britishnordicwalking.org.uk/pages/events  Open to all speeds and just a great fun walk.

POLES

It is preferred that all walkers use Nordic Walking Poles instead of Trekking poles.  To benefit from the full Nordic Walking technique you do need the specially designed strap that accompanies Nordic Poles.  For any advice on poles, please ask.  One of my walkers has a nearly new pair of Leki Prestige poles with brand new paws that are for sale for £50 if anyone is interested.  They retail at over £70 plus delivery, so this is a great deal.  

NORDIC WALKING CLASS COSTS:

All evening classes – £5
Moderate & Gentle Plus – £5 or £4 if you have your own Poles
Striders & Gentle – £5

Nordic Walking week commencing 2nd October, 2017

Hi Walkers,

What a busy, fun week we’ve had! Thanks to those walkers who came to the POP UP Macmillan Cake Walk on Friday. Such a fun morning, lovely start with refreshments at The George, a lovely albeit muddy in bits, walk to The Hub in Ampthill where we had more yummy treats at the end. A great way to start the weekend.

Today we had the London Bridges Challenge for Diabetes UK. The pace was fast this year which might have something to do with the promised Pub stop at the end! A great achievement and lots of fun was had by everyone. Thank you to all the walkers who came along; I really enjoyed your company and I’m already looking forward to it again next year!

Black Park Challenge 10k – 15th October

This is the last of the 10k challenges from British Nordic Walking. There are a few of us going down to Black Park, Buckinghamshire for this fun event, so if you would like to join us, please let me know. Car sharing available. Our Paula has already retained her crown from last year by winning three of the four 10k events this year, so it will be great to see her get her prize for overall Fastest Lady. This challenge is for all speed of walker, so come along and join in. You get a medal at the end and as I mentioned before, pretty amazing bacon butties! You can Register on the day or by going to https://britishnordicwalking.org.uk/pages/events

Hi Walkers,

Thanks to all the walkers who took part in The Memory Walk today in Bedford.  You certainly had a beautiful day and a lot of fun if the pictures you sent me are anything to go by.  Nice to see Kevin Whately again this year with our walkers, hoping he didn’t call the poles skiing sticks again this year!  Well done all.

Pop Up Friday 29th September, new start location. 

The George Inn in Maulden is having their coffee morning early so I thought we would have coffee/tea (cake) there to start with and walk to The Hub in Ampthill Park where there is another Macmillan Coffee morning to finish.  Therefore, if all walkers wishing to attend this Pop Up Cake Walk could park at The Hub car park, Ampthill at 9am, we will then transfer you to Maulden for a nice cuppa before the start of the walk.  This is approximately a 5.5mile walk with lovely views most of the way but undoubtedly the best company around! Cost £6
