Like walking? We're creating a walking network that connects Great Britain's towns and cities - and we'd love your help. People have already shared 8000 potential #SlowWays routes. In 2023 we need to get them all checked! Up for helping? slowways.org 🐌 #GiveAHike

Yesterday I started my first

story walk commission 🌊🌫️ The 7 mile route from Gorleston to Lowestoft - known as Gorlow one - is rapidly changing. Parts of the route have eroded into the sea or are too close to the edge to risk walking #ClimateEmergency #Coast2023

@loveleedsparks

Is anyone actively adding Slow Ways in Leeds? It’s brilliantly about 50% done!

First Dartmoor, now this 😡 Today’s ELM announcement looks to be the latest kick in the teeth for #AccessToNature 2.4bn of taxpayer money but public access has been kicked into the long grass again. Whatever happened to 'public money for public goods'

It would only take one more route to link Leicester to Nottingham/Derby and the rest of the midlands by snailed routes, and any one of MELKEG, BREKEG, KEGLON, KEGCLI or KEGKEY would do the job (as would LOUKEY). Tantalisingly close.

Make that 9. 💚 #Kimberley 💯%

Had a go at #SlowWays Petabe one when I was in Aberdeen yesterday but ran out of time before I finished it. Will have to go back another time. Great walk. Part of the #DeesideWay

Congratulations to everyone in the #Nottingham area who've been doing an awesome job of verifying their part of the #SlowWays network! Let's join everywhere up!

Lovely #slowways walk from Usk to Pontypool yesterday. Beautiful hilly views, a stunning reservoir and a World famous rugby gound. Review and stuff to follow, I believe it'll get us a 🐌

3 more local #SlowWays today, and two more snails. Ken reminded me that EASKIM1 was one review short so that was first, then RIPLEAS2 and RIPALF3 to make a day of it. Very muddy in places, but no major problems.

The #SlowWays route back to Simonstone from Sabden was a really lovely *5 route. Up a lane, through the woods, lovely views, a path alongside The Gallops, and a tennis court. And I reached 1000 miles here. More pictures follow...

Submitted my review. That was a nice little detour on today's walk. Also my first review on

, very easy to do. Time to get more involved, and upload some of my routes.

More local #SlowWays news which I spotted because I have been watching my snail count (70) - thanks to Ken, WESKEY2 is snailed and West Bridgford is 100% verified, and another of our prolific local non-Twitter walkers (Stephen Walker) has snailed DERBOR 2.

I start a new job in 2 weeks so trying to enjoy my last 2 weeks of freedom. As such Drom & I did our first

walk today. We walked from our front door in Halesowen to Romsley & ended up where all good walks should - in the pub!

Live close to #Prestonpans or #Tranent? It's nearly possible to walk from Bo'ness to Dunbar on verified #SlowWays routes.. there's just a small gap of 4km that needs checking. Could you take a look? Or know someone local who could? Here's the route > beta.slowways.org/Route/Pretra/6 🐌

Reviewed the Sarn to Pontycymer

route yesterday & it was one long sheet of ice from Braichycymer to Llangeinor. I have fond memories of going to school in the Garw & buses dropping us in Ffaldau Square cos they couldn't get up the hill in the winter. #GarwValley

Frosty lane with trees and hills under very blue sky.

A 4 Slow Way day in the capital between Holborn and Woolwich. I'd planned for a perfect hat trick and a ready snailed route I just really fancied. It also had the potential to be momentous, so I walked it with my nearest and dearest. @SlowWaysUK

Stop off from todays #SlowWays walk, Wallou, through Epping Forest

On the bus from Sheffield to Hathersage, planning to do two more #SlowWays from there to Hayfield via Edale. Could be a snail for HAYEDA and will get my network closer to Manchester.

Thank YOU! Personally, I think that Broorp is a perfect suburban Slow Way. A green route through woodlands, recreation grounds and quiet streets. LOVED IT

That's what we like to hear! 😉

Yes, first review for me and for Broalv One. A better walk than I had expected with some real hidden gems. A bit hooked now. Will be exploring more routes soon.

First Slow Ways walk of the year this morning - #Orpington to #ElmersEnd via #Bromley (Broorp 2 & Elmbro). Beautiful crisp morning for it, and the Orpington to Bromley route is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #SlowWays

This morning, I walked and reviewed my first

walking route Broalv one between #Bromsgrove and #Alvechurch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Broalv one is a 5 star route. #SlowWays
