Nordic Walking Free Taster Event – Saturday 15th September
We are trying to start a Nordic Walking group in the area as a social way of getting exercise and making use of our network of footpaths and tracks.
Nordic Walking is a wonderful way of getting fit as it uses up to 90% of the muscles of the body. It can be done socially as opposed to the somewhat solitary experience of a gymnasium and can be tailored to suit all fitness levels. After the modest costs of training and the purchase of the special poles it is then free. You will find lots more information on Nordic Walking including its history on the web.
We have arranged for Hendriette Thorn, who is the Get Oxfordshire Active Co-ordinator for South and Vale, to run a taster session here in Upton for anyone who might be interested in trying Nordic Walking. It will be held on the recreation ground at Upton next to the Village Hall and will start at 10.a.m. and run for approximately an hour.
If you would like to take part in this taster session or would like further information please contact me either by telephone on 01235 850989 or by e-mail to mike@manorlawns.co.uk. I need to be able to book you in to ensure that we have enough poles available on the day.
