a Nordic Walk by the canal and through Chadderton.
This is a form of brisk walking exercise, using poles similar to ski
poles. Originating from summer training for cross-country skiers, it
gives your body a really good workout and also improves the health
of your heart and lungs. Please wear appropriate clothing. We’ll be
back at the pub in time for lunch!
Meet at the Rose of Lancaster pub car park, Chadderton OL1 2TQ.
