Walk Description:

These woods are spectacular, an absolutely wonderful place to learn the benefits of using poles.

The POWER OF THE POLES Induction process is suitable for all levels and is a structured teaching programme. 

Your qualified Instructor will help you understand your current level of fitness and empower you to use poles at the correct intensity in order to get the results you want.

At the end of this session, you will have a full understanding of using poles correctly and a level where you will be issued with the NWUK Freedom Passport, allowing you to join thousands of walks & classes, every week all around the UK.

The strapless poles are provided during the course. 

There are toilets and a cafe at the visitors centre.

 

Parking fees do apply and will be £2 for this session.
