OUR FABULOUS NORDIC WALK INSTRUCTOR




I reminisce one morning receiving a fb message from this 5'6"tall and slim Malaysia's certified Nordic Walking coach that she was returning from the Euro Alps  in a week's time last June and that she would be delighted to use her international travel experience and training to be our coach  to prepare us to scale the Swiss Alps , if we so desired to fulfil one of our immediate dreams.

Today, it's close to a year since we nordic walked in the Swiss Alps in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. We have Mrs Jagjeet to thank for getting us started and with her invaluable coaching of the right nordic walking techniques, my buddies and I had a fantastic and awesome time in the spectacular Swiss mountains in early autumn, Sept 2013. What an exciting and memorable nordicwalking holiday we have had! Words cannot describe our exhilirating experience.
I am glad when all this fun & adventure was behind us, I could reminisce about it and maybe revel in all the good times I had had with my buddies, an out-of-the-world experience nordic walking amidst glacial fields.

           
                       
                                                                    Around Lake Bachalpsee

                                These nordic poles took me to far-flung exotic places..

                                                          Moderate trails to Lake Bachalpsee
 
                                           
                                                         Trail from Grutschalp to Winteregg, very scenic.
                                                          Don't miss it. It takes you up into the hills with
                                                          breathtaking views.
           

                                 We could be the first four of Mrs J's nordic walking
                                 group to walk in this spectacularly beautiful region
                            of Switzerland.  Mrs J, thank you for not only coaching us but  inspiring us too!

                                          
                                                        Walking trails in Lauterbrunnen is of varied terrains
         

                                                           Walked along side of river to Grun


At Gletscherschlucht to visit the glacial gorge

                                             
 

                                                    At the summit of Piz Gloria, Schilthorn, Switzerland.

   

                                                     Had an early morning walk with the swans around not a slight fear                                                                          
                                                     of our poles.


                                                     Walked the 'golden fields' at Kensington Gardens London.

Having walked with Mrs J for almost a year, I would say she's indeed a fabulous coach who is full of encouragement and enthusiasm, watches us all very gingerly and silently from afar and as she is striding with you side by side and swoops down like a hawk, gently and very often quietly to give you some pointers to perfect your walking every time she has an oportunity.  You can tell she really finds joy and happiness as she coaches you to nordic walk for a more rewarding lifestyle.  She's highly recommended and definitely a gem in the nordic walking community in Malaysia.
