Walk Description:

Our Monday 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 in Marlborough. We will do an easy linear route out on the old railway line towards Mildenhall and then to back via water meadows and London Rd.

Notes: Park in town and meet in long stay Waitrose car park in front of police station.

We do practice our technique on this walk!

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.

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:

Parking in the Waitrose car park is free after 6pm and on Sundays. Otherwise it is a pay and display car park. There are other free places around town so feel free to park somewhere else and meet us in the car park to save the parking fees. Meet in area outside the police station which is in the George Lane end of the Waitrose car park.
