Last week, some Nordic Walkers decided to venture further afield from the usual haunts and walk around the estate of Polesden Lacey - a mansion hidden in the beautiful Surrey Hills....

The estate has panoramic views north to London, but nestles in some hidden valleys where you feel the scenes haven't changed for centuries.
From this signpost, you can see Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport about 20 miles away!
The day was one of the hottest of the year, and one of the walkers kept cool by diving in every cattle trough en route. (Don't forget to keep dogs on a lead when livestock is around).
Other walkers made do with traditional methods of keeping cool - water, sun-cream and hats.
The route was undulating, and partly open countryside and partly ancient woodland.
The Nordic Walking poles were ideal for helping on the hills
Polesden Lacey in sight across the fields. Did I mention that they serve delicious teas there?
If you would like to explore the Surrey Hills with Nordic Walker, do get in touch.
It's a wonderful way to stay fit,
