  • Many of us take solace in our favourite walks.
  • Routes like the South Downs Way offer breathtaking views of the glories of the British countryside.
  • But a new initiative aims to bring together thousands of lesser well-known routes into a comprehensive network of so-called slow ways, the very opposite of our frenetic highways, where travellers can walk or cycle between towns and cities in peace and safety.
  • Paths like this are well-trodden and well-signposted, but there are countless others around the country that are overgrown and little used.
  • The idea of this project is to bring information on all these paths together into one place in an accessible network that will link up our towns and cities.
  • The Slow Ways Network covers the entire country, linking cities, towns and villages online with information already provided by 700 ramblers covering some 70,000 miles.
  • The ambition is to eventually expand the web of paths so it will be possible to chart a route from almost any town to any other town completely off-road.
  • We’ve all been through a really hard time with this COVID crisis.
  • I think a lot of us have discovered walking and realised that walking is really good for our mental health, our wellbeing, our physical health, our connection to others.
  • Sometimes it’s the only place where we can connect with others right now.
  • So I hope that these walks will take some of these people who have just walked one or two kilometres just in their neighbourhood and challenge them to think about going over to that next town, that next city and go further and further.
  • The latest tech to link up some of our most ancient byways is already capturing the imagination of those who may use it.
  • Any app that kind of consolidates all those good routes into one place would be great.
  • These paths have been around hundreds of years and we must maintain them.
  • It should work really well.
  • Yeah, it’s a brilliant idea actually, yeah.
  • With the possibility of another lockdown on many minds, getting away from it all along one of life’s slow ways might just be the panacea we all need in these mentally challenging times.
