Nordic Walks week commencing
16th March, 2020
Great to see so many of you turning up for the walks in all weathers. With the warmer weather you will need to think layers rather than heavy clothes; so in the event you get too hot you can remove a layer. Tying tops/coats around your waist doesn’t really work with Nordic Walking as the dangling clothes impede the poles so you may want to think about bringing a small backpack with you. The Walk Leaders do have backpacks too if you are stuck, but they can only hold so much. It would be an idea to bring a small bottle of water too as temps increase.
WEDNESDAY WOMBLE
A return to Marston Moretaine for a Womble around the Millenium Park followed by home-made (Amazing) soup at St Mary’s Church. This walk is approx 5 miles and no hills! Parking on Green Lane, Marston MK43 0NF. You can also park along Woburn Street if spaces are limited on Green Lane. Meeting point at the gate of the Church by the school at 10:30am. Soup is £3 and Teas & coffee are £1.
THURSDAY’S WALK
This week’s Thursday walk will be from Woburn again but a different route than last week. So come along for our lovely Woburn walk and a nice cuppa to follow (of course!)
NORDIC WALKING WORKSHOP
Saturday, March 28th – 11am – West Car Park
It’s about time for another FREE Workshop for my Walkers. Our Refresher Workshops are to check your Technique to make sure you are still using the poles correctly and if not, I can help you with any adjustments that you may need. This Workshop will also cover the Hill technique. On our walks recently I have been observing techniques and feel this would be of benefit. Also if you’ve not been for a time and are returning to Nordic, you’re most welcome. The Workshop runs no longer than 40 minutes. Woohoo!
BOOKING ESSENTIAL NO LATER THAN 48 HRS PRIOR TO WALK.
