Walk This Way | learning the right way to walk COURSE
Want to stay fit and healthy and have fun too – put a ‘spring’ in your step – Walk This Way!
Nordic Walking is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy a sense of escape, meet new people, and get that all important regular ‘brisk walking’ exercise – and of course those poles work the upper body too!
We’ll be teaching a new group of beginners the British Nordic Walking and INWA 10 Step technique in the Newcastle area, then trying out our new walking skills within the local Staffordshire landscape.

Please add details of your height to the form, to allow the correct sized poles to be allocated.
All participants must come equipped with suitable clothing and footwear, ensuring that you bring along the following:

- A waterproof lightweight coat.
- Leggings or track suit bottoms which are close fitting around the ankles (flared trousers can inhibit walking with poles).
- Bottled water or alternative drinks, sufficient for all sessions.
- Snack(s) to eat during the break – coffee/tea/juice will be provided.

- A small compact camera, if you wish to take photos.
