Walk Description:
Our Easy Thursday morning walks are a great way to practice your technique and take a gentle approach to improving your technique. Great for those new to nordic walking or those looking for an easier walk level.
Todays walk: A easier morning walk at starting at Manton House - Gravel Hill car park and into Fyfield Downs. We may change route if there are too many cows.
Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking – it makes something we can all do… twice as effective! Nordic Walking uses poles to in order to add two major benefits to walking.
The use of poles means the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs The poles help to propel the walker along – this means he/she works harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier!Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.
Note: To participate in regular Nordic WALX, you must have completed our Nordic Freedom Course.
Location Notes:
The car park (known as Gravel Hill car park on Google Maps) is found by turning right off the A4 on the Marlborough to Calne rd just after the Manton turn off - signposted Manton House and Hollow. Follow road for about a mile. The road turns sharply left and then turns to right. Just before the right hand turn is a BYWAY sign on the left - turn here and the car park is just to right behind the trees Please do not leave valuables in your car at this location.
