If you are interested in Nordic Walking, here is your chance to try it out. Join in on 15th May, Sunday, at the Porthkerry Park in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. This large public country park situated on the coast between Porthkerry and Barry is an ideal location for the free taster session in Nordic Walking offered from 10am to 11am. No matter how old you are you can join in.
Nordic Walking was developed as a summer activity in Finland for cross country skiers who liked to stay fit. Specially designed poles are used for walking so that the arms work well as the legs in the action. The Nordic Walking instructor, Geoff Hollett, said they tailor the course as much as they can to suit an individual and wish to offer the opportunity to as many people as possible. Age Cymru is also organising a Nordic Walking course. If you are interested in the free taster, contact Geoff Hollett by emailing to him at – geoffhollett@hotmail.com. Or send a message to phone – 01446 730613.
