Week commencing 2nd April , 2017

Nordic Walking week commencing 1st April, 2017

Hi Nordic Walkers,

Another month has flown by and the temperatures are creeping up!  This means we need to hydrate, so please bring water with you; the nose blows are replaced with water stops! Of course you can still blow your nose too!

NEW GRADUATES
We have some new walkers who have just finished or just about to finish their Technique course, they are: Eilish, Bridget, Yvonne, Christine, Elvira, Jim, Frances, Angela and Steve.  We look forward to seeing you all on the trails. Welcome.

POLES
Many of you have been asking about poles and a good place to look is http://nordicwalking.co.uk/products/39/  Leki are my preferred pole and Leki Spins, Leki Supreme, Leki Instructor poles are proving to be very popular.  Exerstriders are a great pole for walkers wanting a bit more stability.

EVENING CLASSES
This week both the Wednesday and Thursday evening classes are beginning again.  These are booking classes so let me know if you wish to attend via text or email.  Thanks.

POP UP FRIDAY10am – £5 
This week we have a great POP UP walk for you of 5 miles.  Beginning at the West car Park of Ampthill Park we will head off on the “Alpaca route” towards Centre Parcs where we will walk the perimeter before heading back.  This walk has beautiful views across the countryside and a great trail around the forest. Please book if you wish to attend.
