Elaine Sylvester / Nordic Walking Instructor - Dartmoor guide

About

Based in Tavistock, on the edge of Dartmoor, Elaine has worked for many years as a Nordic Walking Instructor and Dartmoor National Park Guide. Trained in Moorland Leadership, Trail Cycling, Wild Camping, and recently qualifying as a Personal Trainer and Advanced Fitness Instructor, Elaine will combine her skills and experience to offer a safe, effective and enjoyable introduction to Nordic walking amidst the unique and beautiful scenery of Dartmoor National Park.

Nordic Walking is a method of walking with poles that utilises the muscles of the upper body and therefore intensifies the effect of any exercise work-out, whether it forms part of a general Heatlh and Fitness initiative, or an individualised training programme.
Fully Insured and trained in Outdoor First Aid, Elaine offers "Learn to" Courses, free Taster sessions, and weekly Adventure walks whilst ensuring expert and supportive tuition on an individual or group basis.
She also leads Nordic Walking holidays (see NWUK Holidays) and long-distance treks around Dartmoor and the UK.

It's like walking in Four-Wheel Drive...once you've mastered the technique, you'll wonder why you ever walked without them!!
