Nordic Walking News

.
Here is a little more information regarding the 2nd International Nordic Walking Conference to be held in Mallorca, Spain on April 29, 30 and May 1^st.

I now have a website address for the event: www.nordicwalkingoriginal.com/inicio.php?la=es Unfortunately it is in Spanish. Great if you speak the language, not so good if you don't. You may be able to do a Google translation to get more of an idea of what's happening. Apparently there will be people at the conference from a variety of countries, so this is not just a Spanish event.

Alternatively contact the event organiser: José Manuel Fernández email: info@nordicwalkingoriginal.com or contact José via facebook: José Manuel Fernández Molina.

I already mentioned (in the update below) that Tom Rutlin (founder of Exerstride Method Nordic Walking) will be traveling from the US to particiapate. Tom will be running an Exerstride Method Nordic Walking instructional workshop at the event.

Happy Nordic Walking...

Happy Sixth Birthday!

It's six years ago this month (March 2005) that I launched my very first Nordic Walking publication. It was called Nordic Walking News and it was the forerunner to this Blog.

The original Nordic Walking News was a monthly web based newsletter.

A Recipe For Nordic Walkers

One of the popular features of the original Nordic Walking News was the recipe of the month (called Josette's Kitchen. It's been a long time but I thought I do another recipe. The difference today however, is that I now have the technology to offer up a video, which makes it a lot more fun.

So check out the video of me preparing and cooking a delicious Greek dish called "Skordalia" - Potato & Garlic Mash (accompanied by Pan-Fried Salmon & a Greek Salad).


I hope that Nordic Walkers everywhere (particularly on this forum) will give this dish a try... Enjoy!

Nordic Walking Holiday in the Alps

Our friends Patrick & Maree from Nordic Academy in Australia have contacted me to let me know that they still have a couple of places available, on what I am sure is going to be another fantastic Nordic Walking holiday in Europe this coming June.

UK & European Based Nordic Walking Challenges (Races)

Thanks to Nordic Walking eCommunity Forum Co-Moderator Ian Holloway for the following information.

The Lakeland Trail Events welcome Nordic Walkers as part of the "Challenge Races" and these are fantastic events with superb organisation and a great atmosphere. See www.lakelandtrails.org for details.

Jon Monks of Shepherds Walks, in the North of England, are offering two Marathons this year. The first is a Coastal Walk and the second is around the Kielder Reservoir. Neither are out and out races but you know what happens when a couple of competitors meet up! See: www.shepherdswalks.co.uk

If you really want to test your poles then have a look at the Lochalsh Dirty 30 website. Again, this is not billed as a race but walkers, runners and polersv really "go for it". See: www.lochalsh-trails.co.uk

Europe seems to have many International Races ranging from distance events, hill climbs and winter events. "Google" Martin Epp(s) to see him in action on the Austrian Championship Race and on hill climbs.

Note From The Editor: The Spanish Island of Mallorca is the venue April 29 & 30 and May (1st) for the 2nd International Nordic Walking Conference. If you are interested in finding out more contact José Manuel Fernández info@nordicwalkingoriginal.com or contact José via facebook:
José Manuel Fernández Molina. Tom Rutlin & Marko Kantaneva are scheduled to attend this event.
