Nordic Walking with Lancaster and Morecambe u3a and Southport u3a

Pauline from Lancaster and Moreambe u3a and Jean from Southport u3a's Walking Group 4 talk about how they shared skills as part of the u3a Walkers Exchange.

Lancaster and Morecambe u3a have a thriving Nordic Walking group with over 80 members. We walk locally every Wednesday and have an extended walk every month to a more distant destination. One of our leaders, Pauline Lenney is a qualified Nordic Walking Instructor and is able to give free tuition to new members.

A walking group at Southport u3a wanted to develop new Nordic Walks. In September Pauline visited Southport and ran an excellent introductory training session.

This initiative started as part of the u3a Walking Exchange Scheme. We are looking at ways we can carry it into the future.
