1 Listener
In this episode, I am speaking to British Nordic Walking National Trainer, Steve Ellis, who is based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. Steve combines his passion and experience for fitness and the outdoors in delivering Nordic Walking, Personal Training and ‘Guided Mountain/Hill Days and Skills Courses’ for those who look to ‘get fit & stay fit‘ in the great outdoors. The founder and co-owner of Gemini Outdoor Adventure Ltd, Steve has been trekking in the mountains of the UK and Europe for the last 30 years, and as such holds both the ‘Mountain Leader’ and ‘International Mountain Leader’ qualifications. He is passionate about sharing the outdoors with a wider audience of adults and children. Steve also leads UK treks on the Cotswold Way, Brecon Beacons, Black Mountain, Lake District, Peak District, Cairngorms and Snowdonia; as well as overseas trekking holidays to remote places such as the Garfagnana in Tuscany, Ariege in the French Pyrenees, Mt Toubkal, Atlas Mountains in Morocco and the summit of Africa, Kilimanjaro. When not undertaking these trips, Steve is busy planning future adventures. Today, Steve joins me to talk about Nordic Walking at altitude and some of his expeditions both home and abroad.

Night Nordic Walkers with Marcus Easterling
In this week’s episode, I interview Marcus Easterling, a British Nordic Walking instructor with Bristol Nordic Walking. Marcus first picked up a pair of Nordic walking poles in 2013 and was instantly hooked! The following year he jumped at the chance to train and become an instructor with Bristol Nordic Walking, leading his first class in August 2014. Marcus loves the fact that Nordic Walking is accessible for people of all ages and abilities and great for both body and mind, as well as being a sociable activity. It is a complete contrast to his day job as a senior dental technician at Bristol University, as it gets him moving and meeting lots of new people. Some of the classes that Marcus instructs take place in the evening and so he joins us today to talk about Nordic Walking in the dark.

Osteoporosis and Nordic Walking with Melissa Domaille
In episode 31, I am chatting to Melissa Domaille about Osteoporosis. Melissa is a British Nordic Walking instructor, but more relevantly, she is a physio who worked in the NHS for 25 years as a rheumatology specialist and managed the osteoporosis physio service at the Bristol Royal Infirmary. More recently she conducted a research project with Liz Carver-Richardson to develop a tailored NW programme for people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Melissa believes passionately that engagement in physical activity is beneficial for good health and well-being. She joins us today to explain how Nordic Walking can help people with Osteoporosis.
