Lovely @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk in the spring sunshine this week, reviewing the Wantage to Kingston Bagpuize route. Even arrived in time at Kingston to watch the Oxfordshire Women’s cricket team thrash Suffolk by 187 runs! 🏏 #SlowWays

A few pictures from Wednesday's #SlowWays pleasant but unspectacular walk from Retford to Sutton on Trent. I have just one Nottinghamshire SlowWays route left to do, and hope to do Rampton to Gainsborough tomorrow to finish the set (see link below for a map). beta.slowways.org/user/waylist...

I was looking back at some pictures from a @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk I did with my nephew a while back. I’ve only just noticed what appear to be bullet holes in the footpath sign 😬

A nice little #SlowWays this morning: HolFli Two (Holyhead - Flint). Following the Wat's Dyke Way (which I had muscle memory from walking it a couple of years ago and up and down the hills of north Wales. It'll be snailed once I review it!

On the road getting ready for a BIG @SlowWaysUK summer! We've lots of exciting plans to make the network 10X bigger - connecting more people and places in more ways. Just finished a couple of days in #Cardiff with #SlowWays Hannah Engelkamp shooting a film about it. More soon!

A long delayed completion of a series of @slowwaysuk.bsky.social today. I pioneered a new shorter, but hillier route between Flint and Holywell and then set about snailing the Slow Way from there to Prestatyn. Both thoroughly enjoyable. Another excellent day of walking!

Great Britain is full of amazing buildings and interesting architecture and walking is often the best way to see many of them! We love this gorgeous shot captured by a volunteer who recently walked Slow Way Wartis one, a route between Warminster and Tisbury 🏡 🗺️

Trains might be quick, but some of the best journeys are slow! You can walk from Leeds to eleven neighbouring towns and cities on a Slow Way now- where will you decide to go?🚶‍♀️

We absolutely love how many interesting details there are to spot in this lovely photo taken by our volunteer Mary as she walked a Slow Way between Solihull and Henley! 📸

We're powered by a brilliant network of volunteers, identifying the best ways to go on existing rights of way. While we're walking we really appreciate the volunteers of other organisations grafting to make those rights of way a nicer, safer experience for us all! 📸 Derick, on Kimpton to Oaklands
