Liz loves exploring the great outdoors while exercising. Nearly all walks start or finish at a cafe or pub where members can enjoy coffee or lunch. Ide Hill Nordic Walking was started by Liz Easterbrook who is a Brand Ambassador to Nordic Walking UK with the aim of creating “Exercise For Everyone”.
The groups are great fun, relaxed and age is not a barrier. Liz is passionate that everyone is given the opportunity to achieve their potential. Fitness goals can be achieved in a fun way in the best gym of all – the great outdoors! I aim to motivate you along with the other members of the group and the beautiful surroundings.

from members of Liz Easterbrook
"I was looking to get active but didn't want to be stuck in a gym when I discovered the Ide Hill Nordic Walking group. It has transformed my life! Our inspirational leader Liz Easterbrook has created a very friendly and inclusive group, leading us through the beautiful Kent countryside around Ide Hill. Through Nordic Walking I've become fitter and met many wonderful people while enjoying the outdoors and discovering new areas. Thank you Liz!"
"I joined Liz's Nordic Walking group 3 years ago looking for an outdoor sport to keep me fit and meet new people. From initially walking once a week, I now regularly walk three times and it's a major part of my life. Ide Hill's testing gradients are matched with its stunning scenery and the two make for an exhilarating exercise experience. The group is a lovely bunch of people and the atmosphere generated by Liz both upbeat and supportive. Her team of experienced walk leaders ensure that everyone is able to walk at their own pace, whilst encouraged to do the best they can - the only person you're competing against is yourself."
"Desperate to get fit after retiring early from a sedentary job I searched for an activity that would see be outside, was social and physically challenging. Nordic walking looked to fit the my criteria and I signed up with Liz at Ide Hill Nordic Walking. I quickly realised how unfit I was with the local hills initially feeling like mountains. The warm welcome I received and the enthusiasm and encouragement from Liz and the other walk leaders meant I was hooked. Two years on I am enjoying being with lovely people and walking in beautiful countryside. I am 9.5kg lighter, toned, fit and feeling 20 years younger. Thanks Liz for turning me around and continuing to challenge me to the best I can."
