Week commencing 24th February 2020

Nordic Walks week commencing
24th February 2020

Mixed bag of walks this week with some on hard paths as we await other routes to dry out a bit.  I’m still grumbling about our Pop Ups that I had to cancel last week. I will be putting more Pop Up walks on for March of longer lengths and will let you know locations once we’ve risk assessed. Yay! 

NEWBIES
We have some more new Walkers joining us who have just completed or about to finish their Technique courses this week!  They are Jackie, Delia, Patty, Philip and Patsy.  I’m sure you’ll make them feel very welcome when they come along for the walks.   Great to have you with us guys!   If you have any questions about the walks, just let me know.  You’re welcome to use my poles as long as you need but if you’d like to look at some to buy, Nordic Walking UK have a good online shop https://nordicwalking.co.uk/products/2/

WEDNESDAY WOMBLE 
 Meeting at Bromham Mill this week at 11:30am for a lovely flat 3 miler around the village of Bromham following the Heritage Trail.  Paws Needed for this one.  There is an awesome cafe at the Mill which has great food.  If you’d like to attend this walk, please book by Tuesday so I can let the cafe know numbers. Thanks.  Mod 2 & 3 pace. 

NORDIC WALKING & WEIGHT LOSS
Above are before and after pictures of our Walk Leader Denise.  With a healthy, balanced diet and regular Nordic Walking, Denise was able to lose three stone AND more importantly, she now maintains a healthy weight.  It takes determination and discipline, but the benefits speak for themselves.
