Nordic Walking in Bushy Park - Saturdays

Walking near Esher Common.



Walking has started in Bushy Park on Saturdays. In fact there are a couple of classes run by different instructors. Mine start from the Diana Fountain car park, at 9am, at the moment.


I say 'at the moment' as there is a large group of runners having their weekly 5k run at 9am on Saturdays. I may move the start to another car park or time. Please call me for details. (07703-404-931). I will also post any changes here.

I intend to continue the classes on most Saturdays, except the 27th February, and May 1st.


The weather for last week was crisp and frosty. Gloves were needed until we warmed up.

Most of the park's birds were walking on the icy pond, although a couple of ring-necked parakeets were posing for a couple of visitors with telescopes who perhaps didn't realise that the parakeets are quite common in these parts. I think the RSPB survey rates them as more common than blackbirds!

Whether you go out walking, or watch the Rugby, enjoy your weekend.
