Nordic Walking week commencing 22nd May, 2017
Hi Nordic Walkers
A big Well Done to all of the walkers who took part in the Parkinson’s UK Charity walk this morning. It was a lovely morning and great to walk and talk our way around the Country Park in Marston Vale.
This next week it looks like we have some good weather on our side so no excuses not to get out on the trails. We have the 1st stage of the Greensand Ridge walk starting on Saturday so if you do wish to take part, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.

This walk is relatively easy with no major hills We begin walking along the canal alongside the River Ouze before crossing meadows and then into Rushmere Country Park.
