NWUK Groups across the UK are out there in all weathers keeping active whilst having a ball at the same time – check out what they have been up to recently….

These lovely Ladies in the Lake District completed a 45 mile loop around Lake Windermere in 4 sessions as part of their winter work out regime. We look forward to meeting them when we head to the Lakes for the GRASMERE GALLOP 10K on the 3rd June – Why not come and meet the HQ team and take part in this iconic NW event too?

The NWUK passport is a great way to join sociable walks right across the UK and its great to see so many ‘Invitation walks’ being posted on the booking portal. These special walks are where groups pre arrange to meet up for a joint walk. In these pictures Instructor Beverley from Shropshire (on the left) hosted a stunning walk for the Mercian group from Bromsgrove (lead by Ian on the right). A great time was had by all and Ian’s group realised that they might need to do some hill practice before they return next time!

Meanwhile Saddleworth Nordic walkers caught up with old friends from Preston and had a great walk…

Snow is no barrier to hardy Nordic walkers and it was great to see this group from Wimbledon doing their strength exercises in the winter sunshine whilst others celebrated gaining their FREEDOM passports in freezing temperatures. In fact this January saw record numbers taking up Nordic walking as part of their new year resolutions and we are delighted to welcome them.

Nordic Walkers in the North west meanwhile have been celebrating the fact that they can visit our first EVER NWUK pro store in order to view and try out nordic walking poles. We have teamed up with Saddleworth Outdoors a forward thinking store that can advise on Nordic walking and stocks a full range of NWUK clothing, accessories too. Local Delivery partner Caroline Fisher and her group often start and finish walks at the store and love the fact that they can browse and try on the latest kit. “An added bonus is that the store also promotes my walks” say Caroline pictured here with Steve from the store and NWUK MD Mike Rollason.
