Here are some options for using the #SlowWays to walk from #Swansea to #Norwich . Each leg ends in a town, city or large village with places to eat, sleep or jump on public transport. Which two places would you like to use the #SlowWays to walk between?

We're creating a network of #SlowWays walking routes that connect all of GB's towns and cities. During lockdown 700 volunteers created over 7,000 routes. This autumn we need 10,000 people to help explore and test them. Up for it? Follow us. We'll follow back. Coming soon ๐ŸŒ

The #SlowWays are designed around a pattern of triangles that make it easier to see, imagine, plan, navigate and share journeys. The map on the left includes the structure of the network. The map on the right just shows the draft routes. ๐ŸŒ

Love this animation of #SlowWays made by ITV News. The walking network has been mapped by volunteers, but now we need thousands of people to help walk, review and verify them all. It's a big challenge for 2021! Know someone who'd like to help? ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
