Check out our course options to find a course that matches your needs in terms of your fitness, reasons for taking up Nordic Walking, and budget. We have courses for the fit and active, those with balance and mobility challenges, people who want to do the course with a friend or partner, or privately on their own. There's something for everyone!
And please don't worry about poles! We encourage you not to get your own poles before doing the course - so that you are certain that you are going to love it and Nordic Walk regularly, and you have time to consider the different pole models and choose the right one for you.
