Fascinating how it was drivers' views that were solicited rather than, say, the people trying to use the pavements

Last day on the National Park Trail Challenge. An improved new route from Rugby to Stanford on Avon, a curious choice for a node seemingly consisting of a hall, a church and the site of an abandoned village. Best Slow Way of the day was from there to Lutterworth @slowwaysuk.bsky.social

#fingerpostfriday Bishop Bennet to the rescue! A National Parks Trail Challenge Slow Way on the fly from Whitchurch to Nantwich. This was a lovely section to the Llangollen Canal having had to reroute away from cows with calves. @slowwaysuk.bsky.social

#fingerpostfriday At the Shropshire/Cheshire border about to join the South Cheshire Way, testing out a Slow Way between Whitchurch and Nantwich as part of the National Parks Challenge. This was shortly before a field full of cows with calves prompted me to reroute it @slowwaysuk.bsky.social

If you've not seen it, it's a horror movie (of sorts)..
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.

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).
