Nordic Walking Summer Social in Eastville Park

Nordic walking is like regular walking, but with a twist—you get two poles to power you along! They help you walk with confidence while giving your fitness, mood, energy, and strength a serious boost. It’s a workout that doesn’t feel like work—just pure outdoor fun.

Absolutely! Nordic walking can make walking feel easier, especially if you find it a bit challenging. The poles give you extra support and help take the pressure off your hips and knees, making every step feel lighter and more comfortable.

We’ll be walking outdoors—likely across some grassy patches—so comfy, grippy shoes (bonus points if they’re waterproof) are a must. Wear clothes suitable for the weather conditions and make sure you can swing your arms freely. So leave the shoulder bag at home and opt for a small backpack instead.

Yes, we’ll still be Nordic walking if it’s raining. After all, if we only walked in dry weather here in Bristol, we’d barely get out at all! The only thing that’ll stop us is if the wind’s howling or there’s thunder and lightning overhead. Otherwise, it’s game on—rain or shine!
