Let's get to know Nordic Walking Watford:

  • What is a favorite group excursion? Summer Solstice Walk What makes it a favorite? I love sunrise, favourite time of day and it’s a popular walk.
  • Do you have a memorable/funny/poignant story you can share about your group? When I was a newly qualified instructor, I completely forgot to guide everyone through adjusting their poles so everyone was walking really strangely…
  • Could you share some advice to Nordic walkers who would like to start a local Nordic walking group? Make that call – we have all been the new person, even the instructor – and we have followed the same path that you want to walk.


  • Could you share some advice to Nordic walking groups about how to keep the group going? Make people feel they belong, they are part of something special – send birthday cards, remember to ask about children, holidays etc.
  • What are some life lessons people have learned as a result of Nordic walking? Never judge a book by its cover. More is in you.
