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.

Start Time: 09.30am (Please arrive by latest 9.15am, in order to find a parking space as the car-park can be very busy) Finish Time: 14.30pm Location: Nonsuch Park Duration: 5 Hours NOTE: Start/Finish times for attendees of Part B or C only as follows: PART B ATTENDEES - Arrive 11.15am Start: 11.30am Finish: 12.45pm PART C ATTENDEES - Arrive 13.00 Start: 13.15 Finish: 14.30pm. POLE SET-UP/TASTER/TECHNIQUE BASICS This is a light-hearted session, in which you’ll learn the correct set-up of the poles for you, we’ll provide an overview of the benefits of Nordic Walking, and differences from ordinary walking/hiking, as well as teaching you the technique basics, to get you out trying your first Nordic walk, to see if it's something you might enjoy. This is a FREE session (poles provided) and is designed for those new to Nordic Walking. WARM-UP/COOL-DOWN: For the Intensive training course, we warm-up by starting off slowly, and building up gradually, and we do cool-down stretches at the end of the course/day. (Please note: We go straight into our Nordic walks for all of our regular fitness walk sessions, therefore we do a simple warm-up exercise routine at the beginning, as well as the cool-down stretches at the end). TECHNIQUE TRAINING 1 AND 2 These are practical light-hearted sessions teaching you all the techniques required to Nordic Walk correctly and effectively, you will be practicing, and receiving ongoing feedback, help, support and advice throughout. You are taught no more than three techniques in each part, to give you time to digest and practice each one. PRICE The cost of the one-day intensive Nordic walking taster and technique training course is £59.00 per person including use of poles. In order to book your space on the course, payment is required in full in advance of your start date please. If you don’t wish to continue with the T1 and T2 after the Taster session, we will refund you £59.00 after the Taster session. (Please note this may take a couple of days). If you feel the whole day’s training might be too much, you can leave after Part A (Taster) and join Part B and C on another day. Spaces are on a first-come, first-served basis. If the course is full, it will be necessary to wait for the next course with available spaces. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDRESS: Nonsuch Park, Ewell Road, Cheam/Ewell, Sutton SM3 8AL PARKING: Free parking at the Mansion House car-park.
