CLASSES SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. One-to-one sessions still available.

Beginner sessions start at 10am and 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, but you are welcome to come on the social walk immediately after to cement your newly-learned technique. Social walks start at 11am and 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 or evening sessions if people would like.

Nordic Walking Regular Classes

All classes must be pre-booked on 01827 286267 or sarah@pragmasis.com

All classes are on Saturday mornings unless otherwise specified. We are going to try holding some sessions at Alvecote Wood from Summer 2010. This is private woodland that we own, and manage as a wildlife reserve, and is not open to the public. We combine a walk round the wood with a walk down the road and along to the Pooley mound and back, if conditions permit.
