A gentle paced walk of approximately 2 miles moving at a pace of 20+ min/mile.

Mostly a Gear 1 and Gear 2 walk over mixed terrain, including a range of functional exercises and Active 10 segments to ensure you get that heart pumping!            

The gentle safe way to walk yourself fitter!

These walks include exercises that help with flexibility, balance and strength whilst using poles to improve general fitness and increase joint mobility.  Suitable for those who want to build up to the longer or more vigorous walks or may have concerns about their health.

If you need to hire some poles, please email nordicwalkingwatford@gmail.com. There is a £2 hire charge to the walk leader on the day and pole hire subject to availability
