Can I join one of your regular Nordic walking groups straight away?

You must have had some basic Nordic walking training before you can join us, either with us or with an instructor elsewhere. We run regular beginners workshops where you will learn the technique in just over an hour.

Anyone who can walk and swing their arms freely can Nordic walk. Most of our regular walks are an hour long so require you to be able to walk for that amount of time. However there is a shorter, slower paced walk for those who want to go at a more gentle pace.

What shoes should I wear?

The very best footwear is waterproof, breathable walking shoes. If you don’t have these then trainers are good but you’ll get wet feet if the grass is wet. Walking boots are good because they support your ankles.

What clothing should I wear?

No special clothing is required, just check out the weather conditions and dress appropriately. Layered clothing is better with breathable fabrics and a waterproof jacket. Nothing bulky as this will restrict you when you Nordic walk.

Join one of our fun 75 minute Beginner Workshops to learn the technique.

We're so pleased you're looking to improve your fitness, get motivated and learn how to Nordic walk. Before you can join any of our Nordic walks or courses you need to learn the Nordic walking technique at one of our fun Beginner Workshops.
