Nordic Walking Brockwell Park
Ready to get outside? Our Friday morning Nordic Walk in Brockwell 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 Blackbird bakery in Herne Hill, between the station and 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.
Please 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!

🏖️ Остров Уайт
«Алмаз в короне Английской Империи👑», «Англия в миниатюре» – такие эпитеты можно услышать из уст туристов, посетивших Isle of Wight🏖. И мы отправляемся в самое солнечное место на Туманном Альбионе – в «Маленькую Англию😍»!
Этот райский остров прославился благодаря всемирно известным яхт-клубам и ежегодной регате, а также джазовым и рок-фестивалям. Но больше всего Wight прославила любимая резиденция королевы Виктории – **[Osborne House](https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/osborne/)**, с которой начнётся наше путешествие. Роскошные убранства королевских апартаментов, огромный бильярдный зал, просторная столовая и уютная гостиная – чтобы увидеть дворец Osborne своими глазами, сюда ежегодно приезжают 2,6 млн. туристов. За благоухающими садами королевского поместья расположен частный пляж, где для переодевания у королевы Виктории была своя купальная кабинка на колёсах. В этом туре вы можете искупаться на королевском пляже и сфотографироваться у знаменитой деревянной кабинки самой Виктории.
После знакомства с поместьем мы отправимся на **[Garlic Farm](https://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/)**, которая создает разнообразные продукты с добавлением чеснока. Желающие могут попробовать фермерские угощения: от чесночного майонеза до чесночного мороженого. А местный магазин является настоящей сокровищницей не только чесночного добра, но и изысканных деликатесов.
Особого внимания на острове заслуживает приморский городок **Shanklin**, где мы проведем вечер. В старинном здании города расположен одноимённый театр, имеющий богатую историю. Ежедневно здесь можно увидеть интересные постановки и различные шоу как местных артистов, так и гастролеров со всего мира. Также в нашем туре мы посетим одно из самых удивительных на острове мест – **[Shanklin Chine](https://www.shanklinchine.co.uk/)** – расположенный в ущелье сад. Удивительная флора и фауна, многочисленные водопады, потрясающая неоновая подсветка – словно по волшебству пейзажи Англии сменяются жаркими тропиками. Немного отдохнув, желающие могут отправиться на пляж, чтобы полюбоваться закатом или совершить прогулку по побережью от Sandown до небольшого самобытного городка Ventnor, который славится своими прибрежными ресторанчиками.
Воскресное утро начнется с посещения уникального **[Botanic Garden](https://www.botanic.co.uk/)🌴**. Это единственный сад в Великобритании, готовый похвастаться таким количеством субтропических растений, выращенных на открытом воздухе без защиты.
Следующая достопримечательность – это три острых меловых пика под названием The Needles (скалы «Иглы»), виды которых стали «визитной карточкой» острова😍. Кроме того, «Иглы» входят в список «семи природных чудес Южной Англии». Также мы посетим пляж Alum Bay🏞, который известен своими разноцветными песчаными скалами и потрясающими видами на Solent.
