Week commencing 7th January 2019

Hi Walkers,

Nordic Walking week commencing 7th January, 2019

Well, what a great start to 2019!   So many of you came along to classes this first week of the New year and it was fab to see the effort and determination.  

The Striders really flew around the 5 mile route on Saturday morning and we will do this again for sure.   Seeing record numbers attending both Thursday and Saturday classes this past week is so very encouraging.  It means you are starting the year on the right foot (pardon the pun!)  

We are looking at introducing a Moderate 3 class on Saturdays soon to cater to those inbetweeners who are faster than the Gentle Plus but not quite at Mod 2 pace yet.  This will enable folks to work hard but not over do it and as always, half way through the session, there is the option to switch into another group if you want more of a challenge or if you need to pull back a bit.  Always talk to me or the Walk Leaders if you find you are struggling as we are there to help.  Yay!

I will be needing updates of all your details so I will put the form on the website but also have paper copies with me too. The new forms are a requirement to walk with us so make sure you get one filled out by end of January.  Thanks.  

POP UP FRIDAY

10am – Centreparcs circular 5 miler – £6
Starting at the West car park in Ampthill Park, we will set off for the woods and enjoy the sweeping views that surround centreparcs and return. Cuppa at Hub after!
