What if we created the ultimate walking, running, wheeling, cycling and horse-riding network for Britain and Ireland? Up for helping?

Walk and snail as many as I can; beat last year's total; do a fair few #busandback routes; and try to start the Slow Ways Coast To Coast challenge.

To get everything on my SlowWays walked routes connected (except New Quay-Aberaeron which is just too far to do as day trips). The other two gaps are reconnecting Bangor-Chester-Kelsall and Buckingham-Milton Keynes with the rest, which stretches from Skegness & Silsden to Weston-s-Mare & Southend).

Just started making plans for the third annual summer holiday trip to explore more Slow Ways. Right now, the area around York is in the lead but that may change. Previous trips to Bath and Cambridge were amazing!

This is one of the treats on the excellent seven mile @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route between Horton and Settle, train one way, walk back!

Looking forward to a big year of exploring, expanding and strengthening the
@slowwaysuk.bsky.social walking network + a new project that's even bigger!

Kicked off with a NY hike from #Paignton to friends in #Totnes.

The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'

Bright and early (and frosty!) start to the day to do two versions of a Lancashire #SlowWaysUK, my last of 2025.

Best get cracking before the trains get weird for New Year!

Perfect day for a @slowwaysuk.bsky.social adventure. I jumped on the train from Kidwelly to Burry Port, walking back almost exclusively on the National Cycle Network in gorgeous sunny weather. Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #Kidwelly #BurryPort #Pembrey #Carmarthenshire #SlowWays #Wales #Cymru

The next one would be a much bigger #BusAndBack challenge!

Check out #ScotLink's 913/915/976 route between #Glasgow and #Skye 😍

You could do it all at once, in segments over the year.. or just a leg of it.

We're looking forward to hearing about people's #BusAndBack walking adventures in 2026.

buildstories.slowways.org/bus-and-back/

We're slowly going to share a thread of ideas.

We'd love to see yours too!

First, how about #TfL's 389 in #Barnet? At 1.5 miles, is this the UK's shortest route? 🧵

Looking for a walking project in 2026? Why not walk and grow a @slowwaysuk.bsky.social web!?

Plot it out using our Journey Planner beta.slowways.org/Allroutes!

Where would you most like to give this a go?

Already got a #SlowWays web? I'd love to see it!
