Nordic Walks commencing 18th February, 2019
So great to see all my Newbie’s doing so well in the classes this past week. Well done. I will continue to coach you as needed, to stop any bad habits forming early on and we have regular Workshops too.
It’s fab to be back walking with you all too as I have missed it so much. Because of my calf strain which I’m still nursing but definitely getting better, I will be postponing the Charity walk we had scheduled for next Sunday from Clophill. I will announce the new date for this walk shortly. Sorry.
CORRECT FOOTWEAR
This time of year the ground is often wet and slippy. Trainers are dangerous with little or no grip in these current conditions.and should only be worn when the ground is dry.
Wearing the correct footwear is imperative to help prevent falls and injury. Having walking boots/shoes with the support you need will allow you to walk with confidence so please ensure you wear them when you come along to the walks.
