York Nordic Walking

We usually meet at 1.00pm on the fourth Wednesday of the month at a local café or pub. Walks are usually up to around 2 miles on good accessible footpaths and are led by Rebecca Gospodarczyk of Nordic Strides. We have a supply of Nordic Walking poles designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s which you might like to try.
