Fantastic to see two of our British Nordic Walking instructors featured on ITV News.

Stephen and Norma Bond were spotlighted in a feature exploring how Nordic Walking can support both physical and mental wellbeing, leading walkers along the beautiful coastal paths around Porthcawl.

As British Nordic Walking instructors trained in the internationally recognised INWA 10 Step Method™, Stephen and Norma are helping more people discover the life-changing benefits of Nordic Walking. Their passion, knowledge and commitment are inspiring more people to get active, improve their wellbeing, and enjoy the outdoors.

We’re incredibly proud to see them representing British Nordic Walking on national television and showcasing the high standards of instruction delivered by our network of instructors across the UK.
