Group Description

The Nordic Walking Group was started approx 8 years ago. There were taster sessions paid for by the National Lottery. The members interested in forming a group from the taster paid a trainer for 6 weeks until we felt more confident in walking as a group. There were warm up exercises and cool down one's after the walk lasting an hour approx. When done properly it is an all over body workout. We have become a bit slower in our walking and exercise, but the ethos of BU3A sociability remains, and a warm up coffee at the end of the walk.

We are open ideally to people who have done the training already as there's more to walking with poles/sticks than many people presume, good walking boots are advised, all weather clothing is ideal.

We meet at the main entrance Car Park of Trent Park, by the notice board outside the cafe area.
