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.

An Intermediate / Gear 2 walk of approximately 4 miles. The gradient is gentle, no steep hills or ramps, but the aim is to maintain a good pace. 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.

Intermediate - A faster pace than Gear 1 and an established technique is key, but if necessary a little more recovery time for those that need it. 

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

Walk Description:

This is a lovely countryside walk, going through wooded areas and across fields with far reaching views. There will be a discussion as to whether we do the whole loop and then go to the new cafe at Lukins Gym or about half way round we stop at the Home Farm shop/cafe for a drink and cake.

The paths are generally good wide paths the only possible muddy area is on the way back, if it has rained heavily before the walk. We can get around some of it by going over a stile into the field next to the path and back over the next to get back onto the path.
