I'd Rather Be Outdoors

I'd Rather Be Outdoors I'd Rather Be Outdoors offers Nordic Walking, Canicross / Canitrek 121s and Pilates Classes. Running regularly will improve the health of your heart and lungs.

Nordic Walking is a great way to get outdoors and start walking for fitness, it uses more muscles than normal walking so it burns more calories. Cani-cross and Cani-trek uses specially designed harnesses to help you enjoy running, walking and bonding with your dog. It may help to increase bone density in some people, which can help protect against bone diseases like osteoporosis.

Lovely walk yesterday in Lyme Park NT, we have weekly walks every Thursday from 9:30am

We didn’t do massive amount of distance yesterday but there were lots of ups and downs to make up for it, finishing with a nosey in the garden and refreshments in The Ale Cellar.

It always brings mixed feelings when you dress for the forecast weather and don’t get it, I ended up removing my waterproofs halfway round today’s walk in Lyme Park NT. This is one of the reasons I always have that big rucksack with me even on shorter walks.

On a positive note we got to see quite a lot of the deer and there were great views over in to Manchester and beyond.

There’s a longer walk on Saturday starting near Grindleford at 9:30am
