So glad that everyone managed to stay on their feet on Saturday’s walks! Snow is great fun to walk on when you have poles but there was a bit of ice about too so just happy you all survived okay! Thanks again to my fantastic Walk Leaders for covering the walks! My newbies are doing great in their courses and should all be joining in the regular walks soon. Woohoo!

We will be bringing paper copies of the ParQ forms to the walks for anyone that hasn’t filled one in yet. If you want to print your own, go to www.walk2fitness.co.uk. Remember, this form is needed for anyone wanting to attend the walks. Thanks everyone.

TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP – £5
It’s easy to fall into some bad habits with the Nordic Walking technique so I will be doing another Technique Workshop on Saturday February 23rd at 11am in Ampthill Park. We will be looking at the arm extension and spinal rotation to make sure you’re getting the most from your poles! Only 8 walkers per Workshop. Book now!

Our base will be Buxton for this trip. I have provisionally booked 5 twin rooms at The Palace Hotel so please let me know if you are interested in one of these rooms or you can book your own if you prefer. This trip is aimed at Moderate 1 and 2 pace as there are a few tough hills. All walks are between 5 and 8 miles. We are hoping to do 4 walks over the course of this mini-trip. All walks are £8 per walk.
