Testimonials
"“I started Nordic Walking about 8 years ago. It was the beginning of a new stage in my life and has now taken over my life! I have met some fantastic people and made many friends. I am now fitter than I was and have achieved challenges I never dreamt of. I have seen parts of Suffolk I never knew about and been on some wonderful walking holidays with the group. For me, it ticks all the boxes.”"

"“It has helped me leave depression behind. I now walk two or three times a week to make sure it stays there. I started Nordic Walking when I left work so that I wasn't staying in all the time. It’s the first exercise that I have enjoyed and been able to stick to.”"
