David Sanderson @davidmsanderson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Walking an excellent Slow Way from Formby to Crosby, I took issue with the choice of a short section of route which missed the English Coastal Walk to pass a railway station. I forgave the volunteer as it followed the original ethos. After a sit down it dawned on me. That volunteer was me! 1161

Routes covering three Slow Ways regions. That was all I'd planned, but with the extension to the time on the challenge I might be tempted to do some more! 230
David Sanderson @davidmsanderson.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Last 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.
