Walk Description:

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 turn your walk into a workout!  It uses 96% of the body's muscles and burns 20% more calories!

In this introduction we will start with 30 minutes of basic tuition, just enough to get you to a level where we can go for a lovely walk through the Forest using the poles (which will be provided).

Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes or boots (no wellies).  You'll probably want to bring water and any medication you may need in a small back pack or waist bag (no handbags or bags on shoulder straps). 

Location Notes:

Correct W3W tag is major.admits.recap. Park in Forestry Commission Balmer Lawn car park. Meet by the cricket pavilion. If in the summer months this car park is full, please continue up the road and take the track on your left to Tilery Road car park which is a 5 minute walk away.
