Overview
Sunday 13th October 2024
Distance: 2-3 miles
Duration: 2 hours
Led by: John Horton, British Nordic Walking National Trainer
A short and sociable circular walk on footpaths exploring the Kent countryside around the fine city of Canterbury. It will be an introduction to Nordic walking and the fun way to propel yourself around the great outdoors using Nordic walking poles (which will be provided).
Nordic walking offers a great low impact way of exercising 90% of the body’s muscle groups - and if you smile with enjoyment you’ve exercised 94% of your muscles! So come and join us for fun, ‘poleambulation’, fresh air and a cuppa and cake at the end.
