That's the statistics for Nordic Walking. A specialist form of exercise that can be learnt within four sessions. Walking with special Nordic Walking poles, propel you forward, using upper body muscles aswell as legs, it's not trekking, but a different form of exercise that burns 46% more calories than ordinary walking. No need for specialist equipment, I provide all you need to get started. Newcomers are welcomed with a free taster lesson, after that it's £5 per walk.

Walk from the pretty village of Westmill near Buntingford today. We kept to the country roads due to the mud.
We spotted this huge ginger cat, but he wasn’t keen on meeting us. Couldn’t help myself when I saw a sign that needed a clean. I’ve now bought some cleaning fluid for next time. It’s my way of saying ‘thank you’ to the villagers for letting us park while we walked.


Such a good idea.

Post walk is just as important as the exercise. I’ve learnt so much from all my fitness friends over the years. Thanks Cowper Arms for your open fire, good coffee and warm welcome.

Congratulations to Janette for achieving her 200th walk with me. Janette is always willing to head out in all weathers, with a smile on her face and supports her fellow walkers. Incidently, she’s also one of the most stylish, but obviously not today 😆


Another cold and wet walk.  Seems a bit relentless at the moment, but it will soon pass.

At least we got the sunshine yesterday. Walking from Tonwell, we passed through Chapmore End, Waterford Heath and Stoney Hills. Stretch at the end.

Mud, wind and rain, but we’ve seen our first snowdrops, so hope is on the horizon.

Wet, muddy, freezing cold and windy.
Our walk was also exhilarating, fat burning, pulse raising and left us with a sense of achievement.
As a group we find determination, as friends we push each other to achieve in tough conditions.
Proud of us today.
Shout out to The Golden Fleece pub in Braughing for their warm hospitality after our walk. It was much appreciated and needed.
