Nordic Walking Time Table

Please find below a list of a walks we will be holding over the coming weeks.

Hello,

Please find below our Itinerary for the next four months up to the end of August 2012. We have tried to include an assortment of walks in local areas but have kept the more popular walks.

For those people just joining the group, we are still able to offer a 6 month membership of just £17.50 which is comparable with The Ramblers Association. We hope you enjoy walking with the group which enjoys a social aspect as well as fitness.

Again we do require a minimum of 3 people for a walk to go ahead and bookings must be made prior to a walk. If we do not receive the minimum requirement, the walk will be cancelled and only those who booked will be informed.

Please leave us a message on our answer machine if we are unavailable. We will contact you only if the walk is not going ahead due to lack of bookings or poor weather conditions.

If we have to change any of the walks due to unforeseen workload we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible. Please accept our apologies if this is the case and we will try our hardest for this not to happen.

There are now a few walkers in the Worthing area requiring transport, if you have space and are willing to assist, please let us know in advance. Many thanks.

Thank you for your continued to support and we look forward to walking with you soon.
