World Nordic Walking Day – Sunday, 20th May 2012
To celebrate we’ve organized a fabulous walk to the Brecon Beacons. Since this is a global event we would like you to bring something to eat from your favorite Nordic Walking country… cheese from France, a sausage from Germany, sushi from Japan… and we will enjoy a mass picnic.
The walk is 8.5 miles long on easy gently sloping tracks, whilst on either side there are views up to the Mountains. At the end of the walk there is the option of a short climb up to the waterfalls.
Meeting at Barefoot Studio at 9:30am to share lifts
