A gently paced walk from Leigh Village.   This walk is  is perfect if you are quite new to Nordic Walking. 

There are no toilet facilities along this route.

I need a minimum of 3 people for a walk.  Please cancel by 6pm the day before a walk.  If you need to cancel after this time or on the day of the walk, I would ask that you just let me know that you cannot attend and the walk will remain chargeable. If a walk is to be cancelled due to insufficient numbers, I will let you know by 8pm the evening before.

Well-Being walks are gentle paced walks for all.  Most people will be walking with Nordic Walking poles but this is not essential.  You can walk with or without poles and no prior Nordic Walking experience is required.
