Friday Cafe Nordic Walx - this is up to 2 hours and 5 miles often followed by a coffee at a local cafe or bring your own flask for an after walk coffee and chat. 

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.

Please note that all walks must respect COVID 19 government guidelines.

Walk Description:

An Intermediate / Gear 2 walk of approximately 1.25/1.5 hours. Walking at a faster pace and a distance of approximately 4 miles. The gradient is gentle, but the aim is to maintain a good pace so the technique must be established. There are a couple of alternative routes according to the ground conditions but walkers should be prepared to walk along country roads and farm tracks with the option of a long gentle incline for a slightly further route.

Gear 1 - A nice, easy and natural pace that you can do for extended periods with recovery periods where appropriate. Short hills might be introduced. 

Gear 2 - A faster pace gained through technique. There will be less recovery time.
