WALX Wessex

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 at Pewsey Downs car park. We will do the easier route round Milk Hill - enabling most of us to get a great walk that is not too difficult with great views. The route is 3.5 miles. 

IF YOU PREFER A LONGER MORE INTENSIVE WALK THEN JOIN THE EARLIER WALK AND DO 7 MILES BY 11:30!

Notes: Park at Main car park on the Alton Barnes to Marlborough road - called Pewsey Downs car park. Make sure you have some water and a hat as the conditions maybe hot.

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.
