We are professional guides with extensive experience organising and guiding walking groups in this country and abroad. Our small company Country Walks evolved in 1995 as a result of our shared passion for walking and the countryside. Since then we have introduced the pleasures and benefits of walking in the countryside to literally thousands of people and we are proud that some of the people who first joined us 15 years ago are still walking with us today.
In a former life we were teachers and lecturers. My background was mostly in adult education and for many years I was also a British Museum guide. Aubrey has a literary background and a passionate interest in poetry and the history of the countryside and loves sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. People tell us we make a good team: Aubrey provides the entertainment while I make sure that everything runs smoothly!
Over the years we added weekend breaks and walking tours overseas to our repertoire. Then, in 2007 we discovered Nordic Walking. We studied the techniques and found the benefits to our fitness impressive. This prompted us to train with the International Nordic Walking Association to become fully qualified instructors so that we could help others to enjoy better health and fitness. Now, 3 years later, we have introduced hundreds of people of all ages and from all walks of life to the many benefits of Nordic Walking.
