Nordic Walking

Status:Active, open to new members
Group leader:
Group email: Nordic Walking group
When: Fortnightly on Wednesday mornings
Venue: Billy Neill MBE Country Park

Nordic Walking was developed originally as a training programme for cross-country skiers. It has since been developed as an exercise activity suitable for a broad range of capabilities. It differs from normal walking in that it harnesses the power of the arms, chest and shoulders using special walking poles and walking technique.

Our Group currently meets in the Billy Neill Playing Fields where the conditions underfoot are good and the terrain varied. 

Come along, try it and feel the benefit!

Future Meets.

Our Nordic Walking takes place on Monday afternoons at 2pm and also on Thursday and Saturday mornings at 11am.  The venue is notified through a WhatsApp notification so you can choose which day suits you.

Please contact the group leader to be included on the WhatsApp notifications.
