Our summer walks are going well. The numbers attending are strong, consistent and the weather in the main has been good. We have been walking the country lanes and footpaths of Lydiate for an hour and a half each week. We also make good use of the canal and the Cheshire Lines pathways. It is very pleasant being out in the fresh air, on a summers evening, in the countryside, as well as getting the benefit of exercise. It is also good to have a chat as we walk, as the group are very friendly. One week, just for a change, we took the bus to Halsall and walked back to Lydiate along the canal. Everybody in the group enjoys the walking and finds it beneficial. We will always welcome new walkers to the group, but you must have had the (free) Nordic Walking Technique Course before you join us. So if you want a course please lease see details of the new summer courses as advertised in my previous post. Happy Nordic Walking, Ian
