Get involved now if you'd like to give Nordic Walking a go.

New 6-week Beginner Nordic Walking course starting in August. The course is part of our Ageing Well programme, supporting people to be active in later life. This beginner course is great for those looking to try out a new activity, meet like-minded individuals and get active.

The course will begin at Saughton Park for the first 4 weeks, introducing participants to the use of Nordic poles and covering skills and techniques. The final 2 weeks will allow participants to practice their new skills by going on walks around the local area.
