Hello Norfolk Nordic Walkers! 

As frosty February takes hold, it may feel tempting to take a break from walking till the Spring comes along.  BUT winter walking is the best! As long as you have good layers on, a hat, some gloves and maybe a set of gaiters, I can pretty much guarantee you will feel better after a good nordic walk! It will increase your energy levels, you will get some welcome mood improving Vit D light, boost your endorphin levels with good all over exercise and enjoy seeing how the season changes in some amazing places where we walk.  Plus what’s not to love of enjoying lively chat with friendly folk….?     

READ ALL ABOUT IT – our FAVE NORDIC WALKING BENEFITS:

1.  It’s enjoyable – and anyone can be good at it!
2.  Helps with weight loss
3.  Tones your muscles and helps keep your bones strong
4.  Protects your hip and knee joints + IMPROVED POSTURE
5.  Strengthens your heart and lungs
6.  Boosts your circulation
7.  Improves your lymph drainage
8.  Mental wellbeing
9.  Explore new places
10.  It’s addictive!

It’s such a friendly and fun way to keep fit. The more you do, the fitter you feel. The fitter you feel, the better you feel.  The better you feel – the more active you become. And you want to then hurl yourselves up the hills at High Ash or try a faster workout walk. Nordic walking can turbo boost fitness and inspire you to take on challenges you never thought possible.  (Anyone up for the September Coastal Half Marathon. Look no further as we will be there……)

 

POSITIVE STEPS COASTAL HALF MARATHON

Looking for a challenge this year?  This is a wonderful event run by fellow Nordic enthusiast Kevin Marshall from NW Suffolk.  We walk with hundreds of trail runners along the most gorgeous stretch of North Norfolk Coast.  Take it at your own pace or go for a PB.  It’s up to you.  But during the summer Norfolk Nordic Walking put on special training walks to get your legs (and mind) ready for it.  Interested?  Click on the link and find out if this is up your street….

BECKY’S LET’S DO LUNCH DIARY DATE

Walk Leader Becky absolutely LOVED organising lunch for 18 of us at the Goat Shed @ Honingham this week.  The food, company, atmosphere and goat-i-ness of the event was so successful that she has already set up the next one here. Get your diaries out – it’s booked for Thursday 20th April at 1pm and spaces are LIMITED.  To book your place – text Becky on 07786 804021 to get added to the list.

 

IMPORTANT DATE AND LOCATION INFO

DUNSTON FRIDAYS – We cannot currently walk on Dunston Meadow (due to it being closed for sheep grazing) so our Fortnightly Fri-Yay Walk n Talk will lead off from High Ash Farm.  If you receive an email confirmation with Dunston Common as the location – PLS IGNORE.  I am amending these walks to High Ash Farm online as I type!!!

DATE SWAP – Our Saturday 18th Feb Baconsthorpe Castle 5 miler (BRAND NEW ROUTE!) is now on 4th March and the 4/3 is now on 18/2.  Emails have been sent out to walkers on both walks but pls check online too.  Still wiggle room if you would like to join either walk…!

 

HOLKHAM WALK – NEW LOCATION START!

This is one of our favourite places for a coastal – country longer walk.  It’s 10 feel-good miles of sand/dunes/quay/harbour/town & inland trails. A total hit always come rain or shine (it invariably is sunny!!!).  We usually park on Wells Quay but this year we will park up at Holkham Hall so we can end our walk with lunch in their lovely Courtyard Cafe.  THIS WALK IS FULLY BOOKED BUT WE WILL REPEAT IT IN SEPTEMBER.
