What we do

Helping people achieve a good level of fitness together with social opportunity. We use a walking technique similar to cross-country skiing using specially designed poles.
We have 3 walks per week in different locations:
Blackwood area, including Argoed, Pengam, Gelligroes, Pontywaun and Sirhowy Country Park .
Caerphilly area - Bedwas, Machen, Nantgarw, Abertridwr and Fforest fawr.
Abergavenny – Llanfoist, Goytre Wharf, Govilon and Gilwern.

Good parking, toilets and cafes on most locations. We walk four to five miles in approximately an hour and a half. Nordic Walking is a great form of exercise for both body and mind, it can help with weight control and can improve mental health. You'll learn the Nordic Walking technique during your first walk with the Nordic poles provided. Our walks are paced between leisurely and medium pace, all bar one on flat terrain.

Who do we support

Anyone who is moderately fit and able to walk from teenage years to people in their eighties. Come along and meet new people, make new friends and have fun taking in the beautiful scenery South Wales offers whilst getting fitter and healthier.
