Welcome to I'd Rather Be Outdoors At I'd Rather Be Outdoors, I offer Nordic Walks, Canicross and Pilates Sessions in and around Stockport, Marple, High Peak and in Lyme Park. Our walks are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sometimes we go further afield for our Longer Walks, Peak District, Macclesfield Forest etc On Fridays and Saturdays there are Canicross / Camitrek Intros and Canicross / Canitrek Improvers sessions available. Pilates is at The Studio at The Mill, Stockport on Wednesdays and Fridays. ​It’s great to share my love of the outdoors with others, for it’s mood boosting effects, confidence, chatter, and fitness aspects. I'd love to be able to help you get Outdoors too.

Fantastic experience: I started Nordic walking in Vernon park around 2 months ago.And I am really enjoying it. I have lost quite a lot of weight with Slimming world, and I have noticed since doing Nordic walking that my body shape has greatly improved. Tim is a great trainer, with lots of patience.

Fantastic experience: I completed the beginners course in Nordic Walking with Tim a few years ago and really enjoyed the weekly walks in Lyme Park. and sometimes Marple and Disley. I plan to return to them soon, having had a break more recently. Tim is a great walk leader and is very knowledgeable. Whatever your fitness level I'd recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Tim Bowman is an excellent and very capable Nordic Walking instructor among many other qualifications. He is extremely knowledgeable of the terrain and areas he walks in which adds great interest to the walks. Tim's attention to safety details, makes you comfortable of your personal safety. I joined Tim whilst recovering my fitness after major open-heart surgery and through his attentive instruction and encouragement was able to complete and enjoy the Longer Walk "Lyme Park Highlights" one of the slightly more challenging walks. I still walk regularly with Tim now in my 82nd year.

Thanks Andy, the one that sticks in my mind is the one we did shortly before your 75th birthday with all the snow around Chinley. Although the Lyme Park Highlights is a lovely walk too.

Fantastic experience: Tim is an excellent instructor, and the groups are always welcoming. It is a fantastic way to explore the countryside, and Tim always finds new routes to keep it interesting. It is always fun, with no pressure. A good way to keep fit.

Fantastic experience: Tim is a great Nordic Walking leader. He is knowledgeable and knows the local areas very well. From the introductory session for beginners through to his varied and interesting walks he has remained encouraging, patient and unfailingly cheerful. I really enjoy his walks in Lyme Park, so many different routes and such good company! Without them I don't think I could have made it to the top of 'The Old Man of Coniston' recently with my son and grandson. Thanks Tim, long may your glorious walks continue.

Hi Barbara, thank you for your review. I'm so impressed that you were able to complete The Old Man of Coniston, and pleased that getting out on your regular Nordic Walks helped you to achieve that. (For those that don't know that area well it is a demanding walk along and up old quarry and mining paths with a summit height of 803M)
Well done, once more,
Tim
