    A walking group set up for single people in Harrogate has attracted more than 500 members since it was launched a month ago.

    Holistic therapist Jane Illman co-founded Your Pace or Mine to bring together singles who enjoy walking and socialising.

    Besides fortnightly free walks involving up to 60 people, the group organises social events "to create an inclusive space where friendships can flourish and new connections can be made", according to Jane.

    Members are now planning a broader range of walks plus evening walks combined with yoga, along with quiz nights and wine-tasting evenings.



    Asked why Your Pace or Mine had proved so popular, Jane said:

    "I think it's attracting so many members because there really isn't anything on a local level like it. Other groups are national groups and very much focussed on singles or hook-ups.
    "We are different, we are facilitating connections and friendships in a safe environment and the group has a very positive vibe."


    Further details are available here.
