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.

Walk Description:

Starting from the Fox Goes Free, we’ll head towards beautiful Levin Down, enjoying wonderful countryside and some fantastic views along the way.

This is a moderate walk with a few hills to get the heart and lungs working, but we’ll take time to enjoy the scenery too. The exact route may vary depending on the weather and conditions underfoot, which gives us the flexibility to make the most of the area.

We can accommodate different walking speeds while keeping the group together. Faster walkers will have opportunities to stretch their legs and push themselves a little harder, while those who prefer a steadier pace can enjoy the walk without feeling rushed.

Please wear sturdy footwear suitable for countryside paths and come prepared for the weather.

We’ll finish back at the Fox Goes Free, with the opportunity for a well-earned coffee and a chat.

A lovely combination of hills, beautiful views, fresh air and friendly company.
