Week commencing 25th December 2017

Nordic Walking week commencing 25th December, 2017

Merry Christmas Walkers,

I’d like to thank you all for contributing to the very thoughtful and generous Gift Card!  It was such a lovely surprise and it was so much appreciated.  Thank you very much.

We really have a wonderful social group of walkers and I’m really looking forward to the year ahead where we have more events and trips.

One of these trips away is in France.  Some of you have  already registered, but for those who joined us recently here is the information regarding this fun Nordic Walking event in June: http://www.euronordicwalk.com/en/index.html
If you are interested you can look for accommodation in the Meaudre area in Vercors National Park. There are flights from Luton to Lyon. We already have about 20 of our walkers going so far so it should be a fantastic event!

As promised we have a few walks this week so you can keep up your fitness and burn off a few Festive calories!  Optional festive headwear is encouraged!  Because the usual Cranfield Mondaywalks are affected by Christmas and New Years Day, I have put Cranfield as our walk location on Thursday so you don’t miss out.

NORDIC WALKING CLASS COSTS:

All evening classes – £5
Moderate & Gentle Plus – £5 or £4 if you have your own Poles
Striders & Gentle – £5
Super G – £10
Long Distance and Pop Up walks costs dependent on Distance.
Private Sessions: £12.50 – £15

NEW SPEED GRADING KEY:

1 = Striders (for the faster Nordic Walker, optional Hill running)
2 = HIT Nordic (High Intensity Training, Tough and exhilarating!)
3 = Moderate (yet challenging)
4 = Gentle Plus (smidge slower than Moderate yet invigorating)
5 = Gentle (marginally slower than G+ class but energizing)
6 = Super G (Very slow so extra care can be taken)
*BOOKING ESSENTIAL FOR ALL CLASSES MARKED BOLD BY 8PM THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WALK. THANKS.
