We welcome walkers who use Nordic walking poles as well as others who choose to walk more conventionally.
If you are interested in taking up Nordic walking, you will need a pair of Nordic walking poles (which are different from those used for trekking due to how you use the strap and the angle you plant them on the ground), walking shoes and appropriate clothing. When properly used, the poles take the weight off the knees and lower body joints - this makes you feel lighter on your feet.
This YouTube video may help you to understand the difference between trekking and Nordic walking poles.
