Overview
Saturday 21st September 2024
Distance: 2.9 miles
Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours
Led by: Hamish Willis, British Nordic Walking National Trainer
This easy walk around Clifton Ings will be both a social walk and an introduction to Nordic Walking. The distance is short to give time for an introduction to the benefits and technique of Nordic Walking, which is between 20-40% more effective than just walking. However, the better the technique the better the results!
When you book please choose either a morning or afternoon walk.
Nordic walking poles will be available for free hire for the walk.
If you have any problems contact Hamish on 07967 318501.
This walk is in partnership with YHA's Festival of Walking - view other social walks.
What makes it special
- Learn the basics of Nordic Walking with an experienced trainer
- Enjoy a walk around Clifton Ings beside the River Ouse in York
- Free cuppa and cake at the finish
