Sunday at Bill's Mother's: 26th Oct 2025 Slow Ways: the new movement for old paths. Endcliffe meadow. And: latest 🦫 news.

“I’ve done so many A to B walks that a circular walk from a car seems pointless to me now"

David Bocking @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social went on a #SlowWays hike with the brilliant @maryoz.bsky.social and Susan. Read all about it on his Substack!

How wonderful. How was it Mary?

Would you recommend it over other journeys of a similar length?

Up for helping with #SlowWays this weekend? This map shows 900 routes across Britain that need just one more good review to be verified🐌✅⭐️❤️

Could you check one... or even a trail of routes? And inspire others to follow in your footsteps?

Take look:

We're looking for a talented developer to join our team and help take Slow Ways to the next level.

Know someone who'd be a great fit?

Yes #Devon!

Check out verified #SlowWays routes, explored by our contributors and criss-crossing the county!

Can't wait to get my copy! It's your last chance to back this brilliant project.

Know someone in #Bristol? Why not treat them to one of these!?

Map of Hemyock in the north west of the Blackdown Hills in Devon. Only one of five Slow Ways to neighbouring towns have a verified route option.

There are lots of small towns and villages that are yet to be fully connected by verified #SlowWays walking routes.

How's your area looking?

Could you make a new connection?

Take a look:
beta.slowways.org

Yes, that's exactly right 👍 On the app or the website.

Love this map! 908 @slowwaysuk.bsky.social routes that have been checked by two people and need just one more good review to become verified 🐌✅

Close to any? Could you be tempted to bag one or two?

618 low hanging routes! Are you close to one?

Earth in 100 Seconds 🌍

What are we (mis)using Earth for?

Would love to hear your thoughts on my new short film. Each second = 1% of global land use. What would you change if you had the power?

Please comment and share widely.

I just backed it too, at least in part as I had making a map like this on my long list of possible projects and I’m delighted someone has beat me to it!

More on the plans for the map in this BBC News story.

Ever walked a Slow Way?
Slow Way ferocious or just Slow Ways curious?
Love the idea, but frustrated by Slow Ways?

We'd love to hear from you!

Excellent!

Indeed. If only we could redefine active travel..

Here's one from #Dorset!

Love bimbling.. can be a great understatement too.

I just backed @urbangood.bsky.social's crowdfunder to create an Urban Nature Map for #Bristol!

Join me and get some great rewards!

Haha, love it. Give AI are couple of months and it will have worked out how we can do it. 🪰

Humooving? 🐄

Love it.

“Active Travel” isn’t good enough. What’s the word for walking + running + wheeling + cycling? - Slow Ways I think we're missing a word in the English language. We really need is a single word for the collective activity of walking, running, wheeling and cycling...

What's the _____ing?

I've had enough of saying "walking, running, wheeling and cycling" all the time - and "active travel" doesn't cut it.

What's the word - old or new - we can use that includes all these self-powered ways of getting around?

Fantastic!

Live in Greater #Cardiff?

What if Cardiff was a #NationalParkCity?

Thank you ♥️

A giant heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped with this.

We're really excited to get building it all for you. I can't wait!
