Nordic Walking week commencing 19th March, 2018

 
Hi Walkers,   
A mixed bag of weather last week meant we had no idea what to wear!  Layering is the best bet so keep this in mind this coming week as we have some chilly temperatures to tend with.  After about five minutes into the walk we warm up anyway which explains some great speeds in the cold conditions!  There's always something positive about Nordic Walking!  Yay! 

Our Caldecott Lake walk was a real treat last week and one we will have to do again.  Thanks to all who ventured out for this one.   Also thanks to all the walkers who braved the really cold, windy and snowy conditions on Saturday.  You are legends!  Our St Paddy's Day walk was cut a little short as the warmth of The Albion pub was just too tempting as we passed by!  The quiet of the pub was soon filled with songs and laughter as we did St Paddy proud!  Thanks guys. 

MONTE'S TANDOORI SOCIAL - Thursday April 5th
As our last attempt at our Monte's Social was postponed due to snow, we will now have it on Thursday April 5th at 7pm.  If you could let me know by Monday the 2nd April

 if you are interested in going, that would be fab.  Thanks.  FYI, at Monte's you bring your own drinks.  

FINAL NUMBERS FOR LONG DISTANCE WALKS
I will need to know by the end of this week if you are interested in these walks so I can plan transport and accommodation where needed:

20th May - Monsal Trail, Derbyshire (Moderate walkers)
11 - 14th Sept - Snowdonia, Wales (Moderate walkers)

LOCAL LONGER DISTANCE WALKS
We will of course, be doing many local longer distance walks too so you can challenge yourselves and see the beautiful trails we have on our doorstep. We have the Greensand Country Festival at the end of May where Walk2Fitness are doing 5 walks for the event throughout the week.  Woohoo!

Nordic Walking week commencing 12th March, 2018

 
Hi Walkers,  The speeds definitely increased this week in ALL the classes! Loved seeing everyone going for it on the hills, especially the Mod group yesterday going up Heart Rate in Ampthill and the Thursday bunch on Cemetary Hill in Bedford.  Great Stuff! 

The weather will be hit and miss this week so remember to check the website for any changes. 

FAREWELL TO MIKE & JANE
I am very sad to see our wonderful friends Mike and Jane leaving us as they are moving to York.  Mike and Jane were in one of my first groups when I was starting out and have loyally walked with us ever since.  Their last walk will be this coming Thursday, so please come along to wish them well and enjoy a last walk with our friends and of course, tea and cake at the Golf Club. Let me take this opportunity to thank you both for coming to the walks in all weathers and locations and most of all for your company through the years....We will miss you both very much. 

ST PADDY'S DAY WALK
This Saturday, come rain or shine, we will be doing our St Paddy's Day walk through Ampthill.  This will be a walk through the streets and alleyways culminating in the pub where we will raise a glass to St Patrick himself! This is a walk of 3 miles and you will need your paws and have some green on!  The Ireland/England Rugby match isn't till later so come and join us before you head off to watch Ireland win the Six Nations once again!  

POP UP FRIDAY - 10am
This week we have a flat 3.7 miler around Caldecotte Lake, meeting at the Caldecotte Pub and Grill, Bletcham Way, Caldecotte, Milton Keynes, MK7 8HP.  For both Moderate and Gentle Plus walkers.  Lovely walk with lots of different bird life.  Yay!
