Here's my first go at creating a Routes Wheel for imagining the diverse range of active route providers, users, types & benefits. Read from outside in. Spin the rings! Would love your thoughts on what needs adding. We need more special interest routes👉 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/slowways
Just finished checking the southern end of the @SlowWaysUK #NationalParksTrail! Two excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ routes to come. Brilliant! #SlowWays 🐌💫
"Volunteers map 10,000 routes in Great Britain to help make walking accessible" - The Guardian 10,000 down - 1 million to go? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2… #SlowWays @SlowWaysUK
Thanks for having me on #BBCWato @BBCWorldatOne! Here's a map of the current @SlowWaysUK network connecting all of Britain's towns, cities and national landscapes! Next up - connecting millions more people and places, better accessibility +🚶🏃🏾♀️👩🏻🦽🚴🏇🏾 slowways.org
What are your fave energy snacks on a long walk? I recommend trying snickers-style dates covered in chocolate with a sea salt sprinkle and stuffed with crunchy peanut butter. Plus a baked potato 🥔 every 10km. Would love to hear your tips and suggestions ♥️
Appreciate Slow Ways? Not backed our crowdfunding campaign yet? We'd love your support! Even the smallest of contributions demonstrate support and help us move forward. Please take a look and contribute if you can. Thank you! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/slowways
What if community groups, clubs, schools, local councils, charities, NHS teams, libraries, arts centres, social prescribers, social enterprises, local champions and other nonprofits all shared the best walking, wheeling, cycling and riding routes all in one easy-to-use place?…
Our new @SlowWaysUK website and app will be designed to enable nonprofit groups to create routes that match the needs of different communities. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/slowways I'm drafting this wheel to show possibilities. Click to see in full. What would you change or add? #SlowWays
We've a big and innovative plan to make it easier for everyone to find the best 🚶🏃🏾♀️👩🏻🦽🚴🏇🏾 routes but needs lots more people to join in to pull it off! I'd love your help to spread the word. Please look and share! Thank you! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/slowways @SlowWaysUK #SlowWays ♥️

Managed to squeeze in a hot and sweaty @SlowWaysUK route from #Buckfastleigh to #Totnes! Love the summer evening light. ♥️ #SlowWays #Devon
Exercising outside is better for your brain. A 15-min walk outside improved cognitive performance & increased P300 amplitude - a neural response associated with attention and working memory. This was not seen following a walk inside.
Is anyone aware of any projects in the UK to reduce domestic water use when it's raining lots - in order to reduce the likelihood of our combined sewers overflowing? A bit like a voluntary reduction in the use of hose pipes in the summer..? @Feargal_Sharkey @SouthWestWater
What an incredible collective achievement! Well done team #SlowWays! Our latest newsletter mailchi.mp/slowways/newsl…
