| This session is for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish. MEETING POINT: Nonsuch Mansion Car-Park, Nonsuch Park, Sutton SM3 8AL We meet at the Poles Apart flag just to the left of the car-park closest to the Mansion House. The flag is opposite the green barn (with ivy growing up it) which is on the right-hand side as you drive towards the Mansion House car-park. PARKING: (free), cafe and toilets are available. DURATION: 1 hour INSTRUCTOR RATIO: 1/15 AND 2/30 COSTS: 1 credit POLE HIRE: £1.00 per session REFUND POLICY: If Sessions are cancelled or rescheduled by Poles Apart Nordic Walking, you shall be offered a ‘Session Transfer’ to another date, or a refund. For Individuals Cancelling – PLEASE NOTE: A full 24 Hours’ Notice is required for a refund or ‘Session Transfer’ to be offered. If the session is not cancelled on the Booking System within 24 Hours, the Booking System will automatically deduct the session from your allocation and this session will be lost/no refund provided. CONTACTS: Please speak to Lynn or Gin if you require more details on the above. Contact details are outlined below: Lynn (Owner/Instructor/Office): Email: lynn@polesapart.biz Tel.: 07586 456 682 Please note: Works out in the Park and cannot always access emails immediately. Will respond as soon as possible when returning to the office. Gin (Office): Email: enquiries@polesapart.biz Please note: Works Part-time Hours and will respond as soon as possible. Please only contact Yvonne when notifying of a late session cancellation. Yvonne (Instructor) Mob.: 07522 959 477 Email: nordicpolesapart@gmail.com Please only contact Angela when notifying of a late session cancellation. Angela (Instructor) Mob.: 07939 815334 Email: nordic.polesapart.3@outlook.com REMINDERS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Appropriate Footwear – You are advised to wear comfortable footwear that has good grip/tread, suitable for varying terrain such as wet grass, gravel, mud e.g. - trainers. Ideally, for your comfort, flexible soled shoes that are breathable and waterproof are recommended, such as waterproof trainers or flexible walking shoes. It can get very muddy in the park after heavy rain fall. Appropriate Clothing - Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions our wonderful country displays. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions. (layers of breathable clothing that can be removed/replaced as your own/surrounding temperature dictates.) You will be moving your arms and legs throughout the session so loose-fitting clothes are recommended for your comfort. Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

| The Wellbeing Nordic Walk is a gentle one for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. Additionally, the Wellbeing Nordic Walks are at a significantly slower pace than other sessions, consequently the distances covered are somewhat shorter. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. The warm-ups and cool-downs are slightly different and slower paced than other sessions, to allow participants more time to transition between each exercise/stretch. These sessions also sometimes incorporate exercises designed to improve balance, strength, mobility and general fitness. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish.

Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

| The Wellbeing Nordic Walk is a gentle one for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. Additionally, the Wellbeing Nordic Walks are at a significantly slower pace than other sessions, consequently the distances covered are somewhat shorter. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. The warm-ups and cool-downs are slightly different and slower paced than other sessions, to allow participants more time to transition between each exercise/stretch. These sessions also sometimes incorporate exercises designed to improve balance, strength, mobility and general fitness. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish.

Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish. MEETING POINT: Nonsuch Mansion Car-Park, Nonsuch Park, Sutton SM3 8AL We meet at the Poles Apart flag just to the left of the car-park closest to the Mansion House. The flag is opposite the green barn (with ivy growing up it) which is on the right-hand side as you drive towards the Mansion House car-park. PARKING: (free), cafe and toilets are available. DURATION: 1 hour INSTRUCTOR RATIO: 1/15 AND 2/30 COSTS: 1 credit POLE HIRE: £1.00 per session REFUND POLICY: If Sessions are cancelled or rescheduled by Poles Apart Nordic Walking, you shall be offered a ‘Session Transfer’ to another date, or a refund. For Individuals Cancelling – PLEASE NOTE: A full 24 Hours’ Notice is required for a refund or ‘Session Transfer’ to be offered.

CONTACTS: Please speak to Lynn or Gin if you require more details on the above. Contact details are outlined below: Lynn (Owner/Instructor/Office): Email: lynn@polesapart.biz Tel.: 07586 456 682 Please note: Works out in the Park and cannot always access emails immediately. Will respond as soon as possible when returning to the office. Gin (Office): Email: enquiries@polesapart.biz Please note: Works Part-time Hours and will respond as soon as possible. Please only contact Yvonne when notifying of a late session cancellation. Yvonne (Instructor) Mob.: 07522 959 477 Email: nordicpolesapart@gmail.com Please only contact Angela when notifying of a late session cancellation. Angela (Instructor) Mob.: 07939 815334 Email: nordic.polesapart.3@outlook.com REMINDERS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Appropriate Footwear – You are advised to wear comfortable footwear that has good grip/tread, suitable for varying terrain such as wet grass, gravel, mud e.g. - trainers. Ideally, for your comfort, flexible soled shoes that are breathable and waterproof are recommended, such as waterproof trainers or flexible walking shoes. It can get very muddy in the park after heavy rain fall. Appropriate Clothing - Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions our wonderful country displays. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions. (layers of breathable clothing that can be removed/replaced as your own/surrounding temperature dictates.) You will be moving your arms and legs throughout the session so loose-fitting clothes are recommended for your comfort. Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

| The Wellbeing Nordic Walk is a gentle one for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. Additionally, the Wellbeing Nordic Walks are at a significantly slower pace than other sessions, consequently the distances covered are somewhat shorter. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. The warm-ups and cool-downs are slightly different and slower paced than other sessions, to allow participants more time to transition between each exercise/stretch. These sessions also sometimes incorporate exercises designed to improve balance, strength, mobility and general fitness. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish.

You will be moving your arms and legs throughout the session so loose-fitting clothes are recommended for your comfort. Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

| The Wellbeing Nordic Walk is a gentle one for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. Additionally, the Wellbeing Nordic Walks are at a significantly slower pace than other sessions, consequently the distances covered are somewhat shorter. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. The warm-ups and cool-downs are slightly different and slower paced than other sessions, to allow participants more time to transition between each exercise/stretch. These sessions also sometimes incorporate exercises designed to improve balance, strength, mobility and general fitness. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish. MEETING POINT: Nonsuch Mansion Car-Park, Nonsuch Park, Sutton SM3 8AL We meet at the Poles Apart flag just to the left of the car-park closest to the Mansion House.

| This session is for trained Nordic Walkers who wish to get out and practice/develop their Nordic Walking Technique and improve their fitness levels, whilst working at a pace appropriate for them.
You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish. MEETING POINT: Nonsuch Mansion Car-Park, Nonsuch Park, Sutton SM3 8AL We meet at the Poles Apart flag just to the left of the car-park closest to the Mansion House. The flag is opposite the green barn (with ivy growing up it) which is on the right-hand side as you drive towards the Mansion House car-park. PARKING: (free), cafe and toilets are available. DURATION: 1 hour INSTRUCTOR RATIO: 1/15 AND 2/30 COSTS: 1 credit POLE HIRE: £1.00 per session REFUND POLICY: If Sessions are cancelled or rescheduled by Poles Apart Nordic Walking, you shall be offered a ‘Session Transfer’ to another date, or a refund. For Individuals Cancelling – PLEASE NOTE: A full 24 Hours’ Notice is required for a refund or ‘Session Transfer’ to be offered. If the session is not cancelled on the Booking System within 24 Hours, the Booking System will automatically deduct the session from your allocation and this session will be lost/no refund provided. CONTACTS: Please speak to Lynn or Gin if you require more details on the above. Contact details are outlined below: Lynn (Owner/Instructor/Office): Email: lynn@polesapart.biz Tel.: 07586 456 682 Please note: Works out in the Park and cannot always access emails immediately. Will respond as soon as possible when returning to the office. Gin (Office): Email: enquiries@polesapart.biz Please note: Works Part-time Hours and will respond as soon as possible. Please only contact Yvonne when notifying of a late session cancellation. Yvonne (Instructor) Mob.: 07522 959 477 Email: nordicpolesapart@gmail.com Please only contact Angela when notifying of a late session cancellation. Angela (Instructor) Mob.: 07939 815334 Email: nordic.polesapart.3@outlook.com REMINDERS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Appropriate Footwear – You are advised to wear comfortable footwear that has good grip/tread, suitable for varying terrain such as wet grass, gravel, mud e.g. - trainers. Ideally, for your comfort, flexible soled shoes that are breathable and waterproof are recommended, such as waterproof trainers or flexible walking shoes. It can get very muddy in the park after heavy rain fall. Appropriate Clothing - Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions our wonderful country displays. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions. (layers of breathable clothing that can be removed/replaced as your own/surrounding temperature dictates.) You will be moving your arms and legs throughout the session so loose-fitting clothes are recommended for your comfort. Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

Please only contact Yvonne when notifying of a late session cancellation. Yvonne (Instructor) Mob.: 07522 959 477 Email: nordicpolesapart@gmail.com Please only contact Angela when notifying of a late session cancellation. Angela (Instructor) Mob.: 07939 815334 Email: nordic.polesapart.3@outlook.com REMINDERS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Appropriate Footwear – You are advised to wear comfortable footwear that has good grip/tread, suitable for varying terrain such as wet grass, gravel, mud e.g. - trainers. Ideally, for your comfort, flexible soled shoes that are breathable and waterproof are recommended, such as waterproof trainers or flexible walking shoes. It can get very muddy in the park after heavy rain fall. Appropriate Clothing - Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions our wonderful country displays. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions. (layers of breathable clothing that can be removed/replaced as your own/surrounding temperature dictates.) You will be moving your arms and legs throughout the session so loose-fitting clothes are recommended for your comfort. Water/Rucksack (with chest-strap) - As you will be carrying poles you will not be able to carry water in your hand. If you have it available a small/slim Rucksack (with chest strap – or a piece of ribbon or string to pull the straps away from your shoulders will do!) or drinking belt for carrying water would be useful. Over the shoulder bags and rucksacks 'without' chest straps do get in the way when you are Nordic Walking so if possible avoid bringing them. WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS: Hot weather - Please ensure you have applied sunscreen on hot days. Bring plenty of water, to avoid dehydrating. A hat is useful if you are sensitive to the sun. Cold weather – As well as layers of warm clothing, bring 'thin' gloves (not ski type gloves as you wear wrist straps) and a hat if the weather is cold. You will warm-up due to the cardiovascular nature of the class, but we are in Great Britain and on some days the 'fresh' breezes can keep the temperature down. Mosquito's/Horse Flies/Ticks - Parks with trees and long grass are a favourite hang-out for Mozzy's, ticks and Horse Flies. Last summer there were reports of people getting bites and having unpleasant reaction's so please do apply some insect repellent. Ticks are on the increase in some areas of the UK and are most active March-October, so if you want to avoid picking up a tick, wearing clothes which cover your skin will help.

| These training sessions are for Nordic Walkers who would like to focus on increasing their pace and endurance, over longer distances. One of the aims will be for everyone to walk a minimum of 10 km's in the session. For those that are building up to the full 10km's, the session will be managed to enable you to Nordic at an appropriate pace and reduce the distance if required.
These are generally monthly - but please do check the individual session dates. These will be done under the guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate with the social element as much, or as little, as you wish.
