Nordic Walks week commencing 24th October, 2016

Hi Walkers,

So great to see some old faces returning to our walks! For any of my past walkers who want to return, please do! I can always give you a brief technique refresher if you feel you need it. You’re always welcome.

This week a small group of us are doing the Half Marathon around Woburn and surrounding villages. This is for the NSPCC and should be quite a tough challenge. I know you’ll wish all our walkers well for this great walk and if you’d like to donate to the charity you can Click here to donate to NSPCC Childline
Many thanks.

As well as fab walks this week we have two socials; Our Cranfield Monty’s Tandoori dinner on Thursday evening and on Saturday we have a Gentle Pub Walk from Barton Le Clay to Hexton. If you would like to attend either of these, please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!
