Nordic walking sessions are being launched for anyone who would like to have a go at hiking with a twist.

Active Together Charnwood will run five-week courses at three venues in the borough starting next week.

Courses will be held in Loughborough, Birstall and Woodhouse Eaves and are aimed at those new to Nordic Walking, which involves using poles to help propel walkers along.

Instructors will spend time teaching participants the correct technique so they can make the most out of the sessions.

Nordic Walking introduces the upper body to walking, and also means the walker works harder
