Walk Description:

Nessie (Loch Ness Monster) is a series of steep hills that start from Severn Springs and heads towards the Stepping Stones. After a 10 - 15 minute warmup, we will be straight on to the undulations. You won't need additional exercises during this one and the walk back to the car park will allow you to cool down. 

These WALX make every step count! Total Body walking™ is a unique mix of drills, strength exercises, the use of nordic walking poles and other innovative fitness walking kit to help target the upper body too. Delivered by our fully qualified Instructors who will plan WALX that work on all aspects of fitness and make the most of being outdoors!

For those who have completed the Power of Poles Introduction course – these action-packed sixty-minute walks are designed to help you to improve your fitness levels and gain FAST results. Your qualified WALX Guide will add motivating drills and exercises into a fast-paced fun walk. Some sessions may incorporate a variety of hills and others may be flatter but work with higher gears – either way, you have control over which exercises you wish to do but all will be either progressed or made easier according to your ability.

Variety is the key to any progression, so the Total Body Walks will continually change in location, hills and intensity.

An Energiser walk is one of our favourite walks.  This takes the best from all our classes and rolls it up into a sixty-minute fun-packed session.  It is designed for adventure walkers as well as workout walkers.  It is action-packed to help you to improve your fitness levels and gain those results.  This is done through a variety of OPTIONAL challenges which are adjusted to everyone’s individual ability, ranging from different types of exercises or a variety of walk intensities.

The session is walked at a comfortable gear 2 pace so no worries of holding anyone back!  A lot of fun with great motivation from both the instructor as well as your group.

Our WALX Guides are professional, qualified and passionate about making our WALX unforgettable!

Our Covid-19 social distancing protocol is:

Whilst we do understand that sometimes it is not possible to make a WALX, please make every effort to advise the WALX Guide. 

We undertake to deliver all WALX with qualified staff and have made every effort to risk assess all routes. On occasions, it is necessary to make dynamic risk assessment decisions when there is a localised incident such as fallen trees on the route, flooding, traffic changes, etc.
