@slowwaysuk.bsky.social route from Bath to Radstock.
A view over a house rooftop over the centre of Bath Woodland path with fallen leaves. Footpath arrow on a small post pointing the way through a path rather overgrown with wild clematis on top of brambles. Quite pretty with the fluffy white seed heads and yellow leaves, with a distant view beyond. A wooded track which is part of the Fosse Way Roman road.

Four views from @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route from Street to Bridgwater in #Somerset.
Old AA roadsign in the village of Stawell. It's a yellow metal plaque on the wall with black writing. There's a car in front of the wall (naturally) and a red wall postbox. Looking along a straight drainage channel in the Somerset Levels, with sunlit poplar trees lining one side. Blue cycle route signs on a post, red-berried hawthorn, stone wall, grey sky, partial rainbow. Looking along a quiet single track road. Tree silhouetted against a cloud in a blue sky with the sun behind the cloud.

Part of the answer to this is to get outside and go for a walk. @slowwaysuk.bsky.social

A local @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk on Saturday, another version of Tarleton to #Preston. #Halloween #Bridge #Lancashire
A field full of "Pick your own" pumpkins, some orange and some white, on green grass with blue sky and white clouds. If you zoom in you can see the pumpkin pickers.

Some more pictures from the lovely Edale Hathersage @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route. @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social Sorry I haven't got more views from up on the ridge, but they looked a bit dull under the grey sky when they were only phone sized!
A view across the valley of Edale A narrow footbridge one plank wide, with an even narrower V of planks to step through. A Peak and Northern Footpaths sign to Hope and Castleton. A riverside footpath high above the river with tree roots across it, and a barbed wire fence along one side with evidence (wool) of sheep walking under it.

Some views from my @slowwaysuk.bsky.social #WestHighlandWay walk with @stuartmilligan.bsky.social from Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse.
Looking along the side of the Actual Bridge of Orchy on the right with three walkers on it, and on the left is the river it crosses. View along the river from the Actual Bridge of Orchy. Moody view across Rannoch Moor. Autumnal grasses and heathers, with lochans and mountains in the distance. Even moodier view across Rannoch Moor, mostly fairly dark, but a patch of moorland and hillsides in the distance are lit by the sun.

Walking the #WestHighlandWay using @slowwaysuk.bsky.social. This is the Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy section.
View along the footpath with a pebbly river on the left and mountain (a Munro) ahead. Blue sky with Simpsons Clouds. Lovely scenery. View straight along the footpath with a Munro mountain ahead, covered with little rivulets running straight down its side.

Our accommodation for the first night of our #WestHighlandWay @slowwaysuk.bsky.social trip was Bridge of Orchy Station, which houses a delightful hostel. @stuartmilligan.bsky.social
