Walk with Me
I live in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, on the doorstep of the Chilterns and the National Trust’s Ashridge Estate, so we are spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic walking routes with great views.
Listen to me talking about Nordic Walking on Mary Tweed’s Podcast.
New to Nordic Walking? Just getting back into fitness?
If you’re not yet sure that Nordic walking is for you, or you’re lacking a bit of confidence in your fitness, why not join me for my next gentle introductory session? Very inclusive, friendly & supportive small group environment.
£10 per person. Minimum of 4 people, max 6.
Contact me for details of next session.
Ready to really harness the power of the poles?
If you are already quite a regular walker, & keen to start learning the technique, then sign up for the next beginners workshop.
During this 1.5-2 hour session we will explore how the poles help propel you forwards on the flat, make light work of uphills, & give your knees support on the downhills. All poles will be provided, with advice on how to adjust them, & recommendations if you want to invest in a pair of your own.
£15 per person. Minimum of 3, max 6.
I also offer individual sessions for those who prefer to learn on a one-to-one basis, and
Fun, interactive, team-building sessions for businesses.
Keen to walk with a group?
Join my regular group walks exploring our beautiful local countryside.
The following walks take place most weeks:
- Monday 7.30am: ‘wake up to sleep well’ walk, 60-70mins, approx 2.5-3 miles
- Monday 9.30am: up to 90mins, approx 4 miles, always a social cuppa to end
- Saturday 9.15am: minimum 90mins, 4-5 miles
All my walks are planned according to what & where Nature is showing her best. So meet points will vary from week to week. Details of these and the walk routes will be sent out by email, to our group Whatsapp & sometimes posted on my Facebook page.
Costs £7 per walk, or £60 paid up front for 10 walks (plus £1 for poles per walk if needed). This may encourage more regular attendance, so your fitness will progress and you will see and feel the benefits more quickly – and this will motivate you even more!
Don’t forget to share photos, walk routes and even healthy seasonal recipes with fellow walkers in my Facebook group.
Once you join Hilary's Nordic walking group you will never want to go the the gym again! The group is very welcoming to all and my weekly walk is one of my highlights of the week. Highly recommended!
Walking with Hilary is brilliant, good for the body as well as good for the soul, best reason to get out of bed on a Monday morning!
A fun and uplifting way to exercise all year round. The countryside is beautiful and going out with a group encourages me to make the effort and do it
I will also be leading some interesting themed walks for the next Chilterns Walking Festival 14-29th October 2023
