Nordic Walking week commencing 16th July, 2018

Hi Walkers,

Since my return for my holiday I can see you have all kept up your fitness levels really well; so well done for continuing to Nordic Walk!  Your regular attendance is the key to maintaining your fitness and health and I love that you choose to come to my classes each week, so a BIG thank you.

I forgot to thank Derek, Sheelagh and Barbara too for all their help while I was away.  Really appreciate all your help guys. Thanks.

CHARITY CHALLENGES

BEDFORD MEMORY WALK – SUNDAY 2OTH SEPTEMBER

This walk is a firm favourite with our walkers and we will be attending again this year and hopefully a lot of you will join the team.  It’s such a great cause which we are happy to support.  It covers 8K and is all on flat surfaces some of which is pavement.  It is such a great atmosphere and we always have a great time.  This will be a great challenge for all pace of walker including Gentle, so lets get those poles out, paws on and have a great day!

LONDON BRIDGES 10 MILE CHARITY WALK –
SUNDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER –


This will be our 3rd time attending this fantastic event.  We cover 12 Bridges over 10 miles in London and it is just great fun.   This is a tough challenge as it is all on pavement, but it is well worth it.  It’s for Moderate walkers and this year we will start off together and then meet at the London Eye for a team photo and for a picnic.  Then we’ll meet at the Hung Drawn & Quartered Pub for a nice celebration meal at the end.  To register for this years challenge, go to:
