Improvers/Refreshers
An hour's refresher session is part of the introduction package - but it is also available as a stand alone lesson for people who have perhaps learned in a different part of the country on different terrain, or who may have just started to nordic walk again, after an interval of time.

Refreshers - why bother?
To really get the most out of your nordic walking poles, it's best to practise on your own for some time after your initial 3 hour session, to get the hang of it, to get your confidence up and to really relax into the technique; and then come back to have a refreshers session to iron out any bad habits. I have found that once they relax, people tend to forget about the safe angle to hold the poles, and also forget to use the strap effectively, sacrificing power and push (and a degree of invigoration!).
This is why I now recommend 3 hour initial sessions to try to thoroughly imprint the technique on your mind and muscles, paired with a follow up refreshers to develop the technique to best suit you.
A refresher's session should enable you to get the maximum power out of your poles for the same effort or a little more than if you just pootle along looking beautiful. It should also help you ensure that you continue to flow along smoothly, looking efficient, both up and down hill and across rough terrain, ditches and banks, instead of falling into bad habits and using your poles at the wrong angle, risking injury, and looking unsafe and inelegant.
Costs
For two or more people, a stand alone hour-long improvers/refresher's session costs £20 each in the Dulverton area (plus travelling if further away).
One to one tuition for a single hour-long improvers/refreshers session costs £25 in the Dulverton area.
