Walk Description:

A great way to start the week is with an Active Mondays walk in and around Stanmore. Or get ready for the weekend with a stimulating Saturday morning walk around Stanmore Country park. These are intermediate walks, lasting one hour and will include some hill work. For those new to the area you`ll be surprised at the fantastic views over London that you get from Wood Farm Viewpoint, the hidden lakes in PearsWood and Bentley Priory and the seemigly endless trails through woods which change with the seasons.

Walkabout Wednesdays give the opportunity to travel a little further into neighbouring boroughs, or out along the Metropolitan line into the Chess Valley. Saturdays we`re always in the Stanmore Country Park, but we never tire of it as there are such a variety of trails to explore. 

COVID Safety Steps

Facial coverings are recommended to protect yourself when passing others. I may wear a face covering at the start of walks and carry gloves to open gates for you to go through. Throughout the walk we will maintain social distancing as best we can at all times.

NB we will not be hirning poles during the current pandemic to prevent transmission of the virus.

This will be a warm up and walk to Grimley Hill of about 1.5 miles where we will do a series of hill intervals working at a our own appropriate intensity but it will be challenging.

The beauty of the hill is that we can all work in the same general area at our own pace but push ourselves appropriately.

If you want a social walk then this one is not for you but if you want to work hard with minimal chat then you  will enjoy the challenge.

Some people will choose to walk up the hill several times and some will skip or run.  It is up to you but the nature of the hill will means that you will be working at 70-85% of your MHR throughout the hill section.

After the hill session we will warm down by walking back to the Queen's Head for coffee and a natter.

As you can choose to work as hard as you want to the session is suitable for all who are wanting to work really hard to their own fitness level and Carol will encourage you.

We will have fun too with a series of games on the hill to keep things fresh and entertaining.

Please do not book if you just want a social walk.

Check the title of the walk for more information.

Walk Description:

We all know simply being in nature can de stress and help you to unwind but now the WALX Dorset team can help you to take that further by showing how to really harness that power. Far more powerful than a walk through the woods, these workshops help you to understand the deep connection we have with nature and how to allow yourself to completely clear your mind. The results are far beyond any expectation as you emerge full of energy, positivity and joy! There is a raft of scientific evidence which proves the phenomenon of ‘forest bathing’ from the healing phytoncides ( wood oils from pine trees) which aid lungs and breathing to the reduction in blood pressure, boosting of the immune system and improvement in symptoms of depression. We could show you the science but we prefer to take you deep into a wild Forset and let you discover it for your selves. Join us and you will leave with the knowledge that joining us regularly is better than any pill!
