It's time for "Boots & Book Club" . Our choice this month is Woodston: The biography of an English Farm by John Lewis-Stempel. 

We will walk from Penshurst Place and return to the  Porcupine cafe for coffee and book chat!

This is a perfect walk for those who want to come for a taster.  We will walk at a fairly gentle pace and I will give you some tips on using the poles (or you can walk without poles if you prefer).  The book discussion is informal and very relaxed.  You can of course just join for the walk OR even miss the walk and come along for the book chat - just let me know!

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.

Walk Description:

Our Easy Monday morning walks are a great way to practice your technique and take a gentle approach to improving your technique. Great for those new to nordic walking or those looking for an easier walk level.

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 walkers must observe social distancing following government guidelines for COVD-19.
