Walk Description:

NAST HYDE HALT GHOST STATION

This old Ghost Station played it’s part upon the former branch line Railway which once linked Hatfield to St. Albans and opened in 1865. The Halt at Nast Hyde opened in 1910 to serve the growing community in the area, it eventually closed in 1951 due to lack of use – but the line itself dwindled on for freight trains until complete closure in 1968.

Like many Stations along the 6 mile route, Nast Hyde Halt lay abandoned for many years until local postman, Mike Izzard, decided to breathe life back into it as he embarked upon an award winning four year restoration project.

WHY NOT LEARN SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR?  GET FIT? FEEL FANTASTIC? EXPLORE NEW PLACES? MEET NEW PEOPLE...

 Nordic Walking is a fabulous exercise for people of all ages and abilities.  It burns more calories than ordinary walking, uses 90% of your muscles, works the whole body and is sociable too.  The poles (very different to trekking poles) enable you to feel well balanced and light on your feet - if you learn how to use them properly. And finally, it is green exercise and we all know how good we feel when we are outdoors - even in the rain! Join us, and WALK THIS WAY....

 The course covers the following:

Part One

The fundamentals of Nordic Walking technique. Gaining forward propulsion from the poles by engaging the correct upper body muscles, understanding correct gait and co-ordination.

Part Two

Mastering handgrip and use of the pole straps in order to develop technique. Adapting the body position and pole angles for walking up and down hills.

Part Three

Adding more speed through improved technique, understanding how your body reacts to exercise and learning how to stay within your comfort zone.

Price: £35 - this includes NOT ONLY the practical training session BUT ALSO a POLE WORKSHOP, use of poles AND FREE WALK.
