I joined the walking group as a means to become healthier and meet new people.
Cathy’s walking group has been a high point of my week. I have learnt new skills in how to walk safely with poles and on different terrains. Cathy has been very supportive of all of us with our varying needs and levels of fitness.
We have visited some stunning locations to walk in Shropshire and it has helped to widen my knowledge of the area.
Walking with this group is food for the soul and i always feel mentally relaxed and physically energised at the end. Being outside in nature soothes me.
My fitness level has increased which has in turn benefitted my daily life.
I have met a diverse group of people on the walk who are mutually supportive of each other and fun to be with. We certainly put the world to rights with interesting conversation.
All in all the walking group rocks!”

Power of Poles Inroduction
Hi Cathy many thanks for a most enjoyable Power of Poles 1 session at beautiful Attingham Park. Your excellent tuition has given me the motivation and confidence to want to continue this form of exercise, I would highly recommend this to others,but especially to those with joint conditions who wish to explore an enjoyable form of outdoor exercise.

Power of Poles Introduction
I'd been interested in learning more about Nordic Walking for a while and then saw an introductory course advertised with Cathy.It such a fun, informal introductory course. Lots of guidance offered on the technique required, equipment used, pacing and I was able to practise and get used to the techneques taught whilst we walked and chatted. It was such a great session with lots of hints and tips and has opened up new opportunities to join a wider group of Nordic Walkers if I want to. Thank you so much.

Who knew exercise could be so much fun...
Absolutely fabulous time. I struggle with my knees and exercise terribly due to arthritis, I was also a little nervous as I had never done anything like this before. Catherine made me feel totally at ease straight away, showed us all in the group some fantastic techniques, walking with the poles. I couldn't believe how far I could walk and with no pain, the poles took all the pressure. Met some fabulous people and non of us were left behind, whatever our level of fitness or aliments. Catherine was knowledgeable and made all of us feel at total ease. It really was such a wonderful experience that when the summer months come I can't wait to start again. Thank you..
