Week commencing 23rd July 2018

Nordic Walking week commencing 23rd July, 2018

 

Hi Walkers,

A few dates for your diary….

CHARITY PUB WALK

Our own Charity Pub walk will be on Sunday, August 19th this year!  Open to non Nordic Walkers too, we will do a half marathon distance but with stops at pubs every three miles or so for refreshments and offerings from each pub.  Because this walk has stops throughout, you can opt to do shorter distances of three, six or nine miles or do the full half.  This was a fantastic event last year as we strolled through magnificent countryside with great company and yummy food.  More details to follow.

JOHN BUNYAN BOAT TRIP

If you would like to come along for this special walk and ride, the date for your diary is Wednesday August 22nd at 2pm.  We will walk from Priory Country Park in Bedford to the Danish Camp in Willington and then board the John Bunyan boat and take a leisurely ride back to Bedford.  Costs £22 which includes walk and boat ride. Please let me know if you are interested so I can get an idea of numbers.  Thanks.  Again, more details will follow.

BOOKINGS

A minimum of three people are needed for walks to go ahead and 5 walkers for longer distance walks, so please remember to book on any of the classes written in BOLD should you wish to attend.  Thanks.
