Walk Description:

This was my favourite circular route during the first pandemic lockdown. It is varied, has some fantastic panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills, Wenlock Edge, and towards Craven Arms and beyond. Starting in the hamlet of Bushmoor, it takes in the further hamlets of Woolston, Leamoor Common, and The Wettles via a Green Lane, fields, pastures and lanes.

Nordic Walx are simply sociable Nordic walks in a mixed ability group, enjoying beautiful locations in and around South Shropshire and beyond. Most routes are circular and will try to make the most of the beautiful surroundings.

We are adhering to Covid-19 protocols. Please use your own poles and bring your own water.

Walk Description:

Todays walk replaces our regular Easy Monday morning walk.

These are a great way to practice your technique and take a gentle approach to improving your technique. Great for those new to nordic walking or those looking for an easier walk level.

Nordic Walking is a specific fitness technique and is not to be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail running as the poles are not planted in front of the walker/runner but in a specific way that increases the use of the upper body. It can be done by anybody, anywhere and does not require expensive equipment or clothing.

Note: To participate in regular Nordic WALX, you must have completed our Nordic Freedom Course.

Please note walkers must observe social distancing following government guidelines for COVD-19.
