2nd June 2025

I have been joining Strolls with Poles for some years now when visiting Northumberland, which is quite often. The walks are always well organised, the locations excellent in the stunning scenery and with always a lovely cafe at the end. Julie and Martin have lots of knowledge about Nordic walking, the area and are excellent guides. I can thoroughly recommend joining them for a walk.

Great lesson in Nordic walking

4th November 2024

This morning, my daughter and I took part in an introduction to Nordic walking with Julie. We had a fabulous day, Julie was great fun and a good teacher, can’t wait to join in with some walks. We also borrowed some poles to practice with which was so generous of them -this is a lovely way to get out and enjoy the countryside whilst hopefully improving your fitness
