New for 2008 - Buy 5 sessions and get a 6th session FREE - contact me for details.
Beginner sessions last approximately 45 minutes and introduce the first four steps of Nordic Walking technique. You need to attend one of these beginner sessions before coming on the social walks. Social walks last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on conditions, and experience/speed of walkers. This equates to a distance of 3 to 5 miles. Longer walks can be provided if people are interested, carrying on at the end of the normal walk. One-to one sessions or small private group sessions can also be provided - please contact me for details.
Sessions will usually take place whatever the weather, but will not take place if there are thunderstorms, if there is a lot of ice making it slippery underfoot, or if weather conditions such as snow or flooding make driving hazardous. Classes at Kingsbury sometimes have to be changed to another venue as Kingsbury is prone to flooding.
At present regular sessions run only on Saturdays, but I am happy to do one-to-one sessions, sessions on Sundays or weekday sessions if people would like.
Classes are listed until 6th December 2008. There will then be a break until classes resume in January 2009. Sunday morning classeshave now been discontinued, but if you cannot make Saturdays please let me know and I will organise a Sunday session. I can also do one-to-one sessions as required.
