Women-only Nordic social walk from YHA Bristol
Overview
Friday 11th September 2026
Distance: 2 miles (3km)
Duration: 2 hours
Led by: Let’s Walk Bristol
Skills and confidence
This is a gentle urban walk using Nordic walking poles and techniques aimed at beginners. During the walk you will learn the Nordic walking basics, then enjoy a sociable stroll around Bristol harbour, finishing at YHA Bristol on the harbourside for refreshments.
Nordic walking is a fun and easy outdoor activity which uses two lightweight poles to build on your natural walking. It is especially good for women as it strengthens bones, helps stabilise joints, and boosts hormones that help mental health. Plus, you can burn more calories than regular walking without even getting out of breath!
You will be taught by experienced British Nordic Walking instructors, who will be able to adapt the class to suit your health and fitness levels. Nordic walking poles will be available for free hire. This is a women-only event.
