Good morrow fellow walkers, what a glorious day!

Let us natter for a while, then we’ll all be on our way.

Behold our Nordic walking poles!

Our hand-oiled boots with rugged soles,

We’re hearty hikers with the latest gear,

And by the look of your garb you have no idea.

We’re up the hills and down the dales,

Rugged paths and walking trails,

We make short work of scree and shale,

We’re well-dressed hikers, hearty and hale.

Admire our trousers - high performance,

The anti-chafe seams are most important,

Multi-flex fabric for comfort and ease,

And they convert to shorts via zips at the knees!

We’re hearty hikers with the latest gear,

And we see by your garb you have little idea.

Down the dales and up the hills,

Waterfalls and watermills,

We stride through puddles, streams and rills,

We’re hearty hikers dressed to kill.

We have high-tech jackets – hoods detachable,

Two waist pockets – map compatible,

Gore-tex outer – lightweight, breathable,

A high street anorak? Inconceivable!

We’re hearty hikers with the latest gear,

And we know by your garb you have little idea.

Hills on the up and dales on the down,

Farmsteads, hamlets, market towns,

Revelling in nature’s greens and browns

We’re the best-dressed hikers you’ll see around.

Base layers, panelling, supports and zips,

Gaiters, knapsacks, vents and clips,

Sturdy boots and collapsible sticks,

Low-bulk gloves with silicone grip,

We’re hearty hikers with the latest gear,

And we see by your garb you have little idea.

Well it’s lovely to chat, though you haven’t said a thing!

Another circuit of the park then we’ll all be heading in,

Do take our pamphlet - we hike all year,

Once you’re one of us you’ll soon get the idea,

So we bid you farewell and wish you good cheer.

Join the hearty hikers – if only for the gear.
