Week commencing 14th October 2019

Nordic Walks commencing 14th October, 2019

An earlier weekly email than normal but I am in Lyon with a group for our challenge and thought I’d get ahead!   We had a fab week of walks last week with great weather keeping us cooler.  Long may it continue!   Here in Lyon it is blue skies and about 23 degrees so will get some good pics to share of this great city. 

SATURDAY CLASSES ARE FREE TOMORROW! 
As I will be absent this weekend I have asked some of my wonderful walkers to help lead the walks this weekend.  Sian will be taking the Mod 1’s, Derek the Mod 2’s and Pat the Mod 3’s.  If you could assemble in your usual spots before the walk, this will help my helpers identify which group is which!  You will still get a great walk and workout so please come along as normal to stay in your fitness routine.  

CRANFIELD WALK
The Cranfield walk on Monday is also free this week so please go along as normal and have a great walk and enjoy the fab company.  Thanks everyone.

AMENDMENT TO THE ICKNIELD WAY CHARITY WALK NEXT MONTH

I didn’t realise it was Remembrance Sunday on the 10th so I am moving this challenge to Sunday 17th November.  I do hope you can make this great walk…..the Icknield Way!  Meeting at 10am in the National Trust car park in Streatley at the Clappers.  We have done two sections of this challenge last year from Ivinghoe Beacon all the way to the Clappers so this is the third stage and approximately 12 miles.   The charity Ability Bow is a small charity in London who customise gym equipment for those with disabilities and long term conditions.  Along with the specialist equipment, Ability Bow have trained staff to help and encourage so many less fortunate than ourselves.   i am running (walking) the London Marathon for them in 2020 after deferring my place with injury last time.  Many thanks in advance for your support!   

Check out the amazing mushrooms and funghi in Ampthill Park, so many different kinds are poking their heads out right now!
