A Walking-for-health group has added more walks and venues to its spring programme.

Hambleton Strollers has hour-long weekly walks in Stokesley and Northallerton and fortnightly walks in Thirsk, Bedale, Easingwold and Great Ayton.

The group celebrated its second anniversary in January and now has about 500 members ranging from young children to 90-year-olds.

Co-ordinator Marion Archer said: "Walking is a fun and cheap way of exercising. We already have a thriving group of regular strollers but there's lots of room for more."
