Hambleton Strollers Walking for Health - Yorkshire and Humber

Hambleton Strollers organises led walks which start from doctors' surgeries, Leisure Centres and other central points in the six main towns of Hambleton District - in Northallerton, Stokesley, Thirsk, Bedale, Easingwold and Great Ayton plus some nearby villages.
We would like to encourage anyone to join the walks, but we especially welcome these groups of people:

See the links in the column on the right for details of current walks.

Our walks are usually less than an hour and are on good level footpaths around the towns and on surrounding field paths when weather conditions allow. There may be small gradients, and the occasional stile (though always announced at the start).

The walks are relaxed and friendly, but moving at a pace brisk enough for individuals to feel an increased heart rate and faster breathing. We always suggest that walkers continue to exercise more frequently as well - on their own or with friends.

Independent walk packs with maps of walk routes are also being developed so that people can follow the routes more frequently and therefore maintain the health benefits. The first packs for Stokesley were launched in September 2005. Copies are available from the Co-ordinator or you can click on the link on the right to view and print a copy.
