Great to see Nordic Walking Epping Forest giving our new WALX poles a spin!
Why not come and try them yourself?
Maybe you tried Nordic Walking but didn’t like the feeling of being’ strapped’ in?
Maybe you have been Nordic Walking for years but fancy seeing how Total Body Walking differs from Nordic Walking?
Maybe your needs have changed over the years?
Whatever your interest, come and have a go?

We’ll be looking out for these when we visit today! You’ll need to be quiet though guys!🤣That might be tough for you I know!🤫

Some of our visitors were lucky enough to have an otter sighting at Summer Leys last week! 🦦

Otters are regular visitors to the reserve although they can be hard to spot 🔍

Looking for signs is often easier than seeing the animals themselves- look out for five-toed footprints and their droppings, or ‘spraints’. They leave them in prominent places, such as fallen treee, weirs or bridges, as ‘scented messages’, helping them to find mates and defend territories. Despite containing fish bones, they actually have a rather pleasant smell- like jasmine tea!

I just love when we can get down into the old railway gullet in Irchester Country Park
The towering trees, the peaceful birdsong and the change in temperature all make for a wonderful experience.
Just one of the many reasons our Tuesday morning Woodland WALX is so popular.
