Nordic Walking instructors take 20 students on trek to Ashridge Estate and raises £170 for charity
Three Nordic Walking instructors took 20 of their students on a trek around the National Trust’s Ashridge Estate near Tring and raised £170 for Peace Hospice Care.
Alison Smith from Rickmansworth, Jane Thomas from Watford, and Karen Lem from Tring, led the 11Km walk through the forest, over Ivinghoe Beacon and back.
Nordic Walkers uses poles so that upper body muscles are used as well as the legs and the poles help to propel the walker along meaning they work harder than usual while the support given by the poles makes it feel easier.
