CORECONCEPT NORDIC WALKING NEWSLETTER
Dear All,
I find it strange to be calling this a Spring Newsletter when we have just had to cancel all walks today due to Doris. Hopefully Doris will be gone as quickly as she arrived and we can carry on as normal.
Welcome aboard if you have just received your Freedom Passport. We are looking forward to seeing you on the walks. We have many varied walks throughout the week and now have Janneke’s walks on the booking system too.
We are looking forward to June's phased return after her sprained ankle, this has taken many weeks to heal, it cannot be rushed for a full recovery. It won't be too long now before we see her return and enjoying the walking again.
Listed below is summary of these walks plus links to the Adventure Walks coming soon.
Best wishes, happy Nordic Walking
