A NORDIC walking group is inviting Vikings adventurers to join it on a Scandinavian stroll.

The GO Active Gold team, which runs health and fitness sessions for Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire district councils, is embarking on its next Nordic Walk on Wednesday, August 30.

Setting off from Blewbury village green near Didcot at 2pm the group will walk to the nearby Style Acre Tearoom.

The NHS, which endorses Nordic walking, especially for over-50s, describes it as ‘a full-body exercise that’s easy on the joints and suitable for all ages and fitness levels’.
