Dulwich Park Nordic Walking
Ready to get outside? Our Thursday morning session in Dulwich park is back!
At this moment we can meet with up to 30 people (of more than two households) to do outdoor exercise and walks. However, i like to keep our exercise groups small, so I have set the maximum participants at 12.
For now this walk is for our experienced Nordic Walkers only, who already used to Nordic Walk with us regularly before Covid 19 kept us indoors, and who have their own Nordic Walking poles.
As this session is outdoors, we will not ask you to wear a face mask, but we do ask you to keep 2 meters apart. Some of our walkers might be immune compromised or more at risk, so please help us keep everyone safe!
Please do not come to the session and stay at home if:
- you know you have been in contact - in the last 2 weeks- with someone with symptoms of possible Covid, or if you have been in contact with someone who tested positive.
- you have any of the following symptoms: (new) Loss of smell/taste, Persistent cough, Fatigue, Loss of appetite, Skin rash, Hives, Fever, Severe muscle pain, Shortness of breath, Diarrhoea, Delirium, Abdominal pain, Chest pain, Hoarse voice, Eye soreness, Sore or painful throat, Nausea or vomiting, Headache, Dizziness or light headedness
We meet by the cafe in the middle of the park.
Session Price: £10 per session, £89 for a 10-session card or £70 unlimited sessions per month. Session cards and pay Monthly can be used in any of our outdoor walks or indoor Zoom classes sessions (except for the Parkinson's sessions).
Pay What Works:
The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us.
In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes.
Then send an email to ailien@fitandhappyoutdoors.com with the heading “INVOICE please”- followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off.
Pllease do tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly.
I prefer payment by bank transfer, but if that is not possible you could pay in cash. No cheques please, the queues by the banks are just too long.
We walk in all safe weather conditions – if a walk is cancelled, we will contact you to let you know. Please check for text messages or Meetup messages before leaving home!

🦭 Тюлени и речной круиз
Дюны Северного моря и национальный парк Norfolk Broads — неповторимое и особенное путешествие, которое обязан совершить каждый, хоть раз в жизни😍!
Мы отправляемся на **побережье северного Норфолка**, которое славится первозданной природной красотой. Возможно, именно поэтому его облюбовали **тюлени🦭**, обитающие здесь круглый год. Грациозные в воде и немного неуклюжие на суше, с трогательными мордочками, огромные самцы, изящные самочки и крохотные детеныши🦭 — весь пляж просто усыпан животными, а воздух наполнен их криками. Ещё местечко **Horsey Gap** прославилось тем, что в 2015 году на его пляже родились первые в мире официально зарегистрированные тюлени-двойняшки. Вы можете наблюдать за морскими созданиями со специально оборудованных смотровых площадок или отважиться и подойти как можно ближе. Но не стоит забывать, что на суше тюлени чувствуют себя уязвимо, а потому необходимо обращать внимание на обозначения огороженных участков, созданных ради безопасности как людей, так и животных. Нас ждет потрясающее зрелище, которое подарит море впечатлений, эмоций и множество замечательных фотографий📸.
После неспешной прогулки мы пообедаем в пабе🍲 [Nelson Head](http://thenelsonhead.com/) и отправимся в крупнейший водный заповедник Европы – Национальный парк **Norfolk Broads**. Его площадь составляет 303 квадратных километра, а ландшафт состоит из сплетения 7 рек и более 60 озер. Парк славится птичьими заповедниками, в которых можно увидеть сов (сипуха), выпь, зимородков. Для детального исследования Norfolk Broads предусмотрены пешие маршруты, велосипедные дорожки, аренда лодок и катеров, в том числе для рыбалки.
Мы совершим прогулку на **речном круизном лайнере⛴️**, продолжительностью полтора-два часа. Во время путешествия вы можете наблюдать с верхней палубы за прекрасными пейзажами заповедника, а также виднеющимися то тут, то там небольшими церквушками, старинными домиками с соломенными крышами, амбарами и ветряными мельницами, которые стали своего рода визитной карточкой этих мест📸. Кроме того, есть большая вероятность встретиться с «хозяевами тростниковых зарослей» – выдрами, оленями, зайцами и множеством птиц🕊️. Если спуститься в гостиную на нижнюю палубу лайнера, можно прекрасно отдохнуть за чашкой чая или кофе с десертом в полностью укомплектованном баре. Небольшие размеры нашего очаровательного лайнера позволяют ему изучать самые отдаленные уголки многогранной Англии.
Находясь в графстве Норфолк, получаешь удовольствие от самого факта пребывания в этом удивительном и прекрасном месте, полном архитектурных, исторических и природных достопримечательностей.

To mark 1 year of our community existing, we’re hosting a beautiful walk in central London that will cover some of the Heath’s most iconic spots. Expect hills, woodland paths, historic landmarks, and one of the best viewpoints in London… all wrapped into a social, steady-paced walk designed for connection, fun, and fresh air.

* Hampstead Heath’s famous ponds and wetlands

#################
Get ready for a day that combines **jaw-dropping geology**, **royal history** and **wild coastal beauty** across two of Norfolk's most iconic destinations!
We'll begin our day at the elegant seaside resort of **Hunstanton**, where its **famous striped cliffs** reveal 100 million years of Earth's history in three vivid bands: gleaming white chalk at the top, deep red chalk in the middle and warm orange carstone at the base. Walking along the beach with these ancient cliffs as your backdrop is genuinely spectacular – there's **nowhere else in Britain** you can experience this remarkable natural “layer-cake”! We'll then follow the Wolf Trail to uncover the legend of **St Edmund**, England's first Patron Saint and Hunstanton's most famous visitor, before continuing to the charming village of **Old Hunstanton**, with its wide sweep of golden sand, rolling dunes and colourful beach huts.
Next, we’ll step onto **royal ground**. **Sandringham** has been the **private country retreat of the British monarchy since 1862** – cherished by four generations and the Royal Family’s traditional home for Christmas and New Year. Here we’ll explore **Sandringham Country Park**, opened to visitors by the Royal Family in 1968, wandering through open heathland and beautiful woodland of Corsican and Scots pines, oak, sweet chestnut and silver birch.
This trip is suitable for **BEGINNERS** – a great way to experience hiking before joining our more difficult trips! 🤩

Come and join us on a trip to **Glastonbury**, possibly the quirkiest town in England, and home to the famous **Glastonbury Music Festival**! This city is at fascinating crossroads of various religions and spiritualities, from Christianity and paganism, to Druidism and witchcraft, and is unusually rich in legends and mythology. **Glastonbury Tor**, which we're going to climb, took centre stage in the opening ceremony of the **London 2012 Olympic Games**, celebrating the “idyllic, mythical England”.
Our **4-mile route** will follow the **Glastonbury Way** around the town and its beautiful landscape, taking in the most significant places. We’ll also visit the beautiful **White Spring** **temple** at the base of Glastonbury Tor (free entry). Candle-lit and atmospheric, it is a unique and sacred space long cherished by pilgrims and local people, and commonly used for quiet reflection, ceremonies and meditation. Opposite the White Spring are the peaceful, sunlit gardens of **Chalice Well** and the **Red Spring**, which you’re also welcome to visit for a small entry fee.
After the hike, you’ll have free time to explore **Glastonbury’s weird and wonderful shops**. This is the perfect place to browse for crystals (and learn about their healing properties), tarot cards, jewellery, lotions and potions, incense, herbs – and even wizard hats and magic wands! 🌟🔮🃏The town is also home to more than **50 spectacular pieces of street art**, with colourful murals decorating the city centre and adding to Glastonbury’s vibrant, creative atmosphere.
**This trip is suitable for BEGINNERS** – a great way to experience hiking before joining our more difficult trips! 🤩
**LEGENDS OF GLASTONBURY**
There are many legends surrounding Glastonbury. Below are the most famous ones.
*Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea*
Jesus is said to have come to Glastonbury as a boy, travelling here with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph was a tin merchant and had travelled to England's south west for this valuable metal. After the crucifixion of Jesus, Joseph travelled to Britain with the Holy Grail (the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper), which he buried under Glastonbury Tor.
*The Holy Thorn*
Joseph is said to have arrived in Glastonbury by boat over the flooded Somerset Levels. On arriving, he climbed up Wearyall Hill (a 15-minute walk from Glastonbury centre). Exhausted, he thrust his staff into the ground and rested. By morning his staff had taken root and grown into a miraculous thorn tree, known as the Holy Thorn. A flowering sprig of the Holy Thorn is cut every year and presented to the monarch, where it resides on his Christmas Day breakfast table.
*The Isle of Avalon and King Arthur*
For many people, Glastonbury represents the Isle of Avalon, the mythical island of Celtic tradition, believed to be a gateway to the underworld. Glastonbury is said to be the final resting place of the legendary King Arthur.
