My name is Martine and I was born and lived in
Brittany until I caught the travel bug and wandered off to India at the
end of a certain decade. I have spent the last thirty
years living in England and have now returned to my family home in Plouezec to follow my passion for
Nordic walking. I am a qualified Nordic Walking Instructor and have been practising and holding classes for the last five years. My knowledge of the coastal and inland footpaths is extensive and my aim is to pass on to others their familiarity and charm. |

The Venue We will be staying at my family home, which is pictured on the right The house has five bedrooms, two kitchens and three bathrooms all set within a large garden with parking for six cars. The walks/ Fitness level we can teach you and as the week progresses, you will have acquired the basic Nordic walking technique. The walks will be between three to four hours a day at a moderate pace. Due to the nature of the footpaths along the cliffs, there will be some ascents. But we will take walking at a reasonable and enjoyable pace, given that you will no doubt want to take photos. |
