Did you know? The average person walks the equivalent of five times around the Earth in their lifetime!
Every step adds up- so where will your next walk take you? We'd love to know!

There's something about the pace of walking that makes all the little details stand out so much more!

Walking is a powerful way to connect- with people through conversation, with places through exploration, and with nature through presence. This week some of the Slow Ways team spent two days walking in North Wales, and we feel more connected than ever! #WalkAndConnect #SlowWays #WalkWales
That deep
genetic
singleminded
multi-species
toddler instinct to get up and walking, and then exploring!
Necessary for survival, but driven by delight
What went wrong that
most of us then spend
most days sitting down?
Tap in to the delight and plan in a walk for the weekend!

Dream-up a walking challenge for 2025 and do it on #SlowWays!
You could...
walk between two towns or cities that mean something to you
see how many routes you can complete
explore your area or region
Tempted? Got any ideas?

Re the #SlowWays job vacancy post I just boosted, the web link doesn’t work so yer it is…
A double Slow Ways in marvellous autumnal sunshine. Newbridge and Abercarn and then Abercarn to Risca. The first was not accessible despite my best efforts with secateurs and the second a canal towpath stroll. A wonderful part of the world! #Caerphilly #Wales #Cymru #SlowWays #Newbridge #Abercarn #Risca #Secatuers #Canal
Cracking Slow Ways completed today dodging in and out of showery weather. Walkers Are Welcome Crickhowell to Abergavenny primarily following the Brecon & Mon canal. Enjoyed sheltering under canal bridges and a pit stop in Gilwern! #SlowWays #Powys #SirFynwy #WalkersAreWelcome #Crickhowell #Abergavenny #Brecon #Canal #Gilwern #Monmouthshire #Rain #YFenni
Perfect day for a Slow Ways 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

My last weekend walk had me finishing at "lovely Luton" — luckily the rest of the walk was really, really nice!
Swansea and Cardiff are now connected via verified Slow Ways after I completed Port Talbot to Swansea today. Quite an urban and industrial route but lots to see while walking. It took me to places I never knew existed! #SlowWays #Walking #Cerdded #Hiking #InterCityNetwork #Swansea #Abertawe #Caerdydd #Cardiff #PortTalbot #Wales #Cymru #Glamorgan
Slipped in a cheeky Slow Ways today between Llanelli and Burry Port. Gorgeous far reaching views over Gower along the coast path. Definitely recommended! #SlowWays #Llanelli #BurryPort #Carmarthenshire #Gower #CoastPath #Seaview #SosbanFach #YGwr
Managed to walk under 6 miles completing three Slow Ways today. Feels like a bit of a record - are there other locations this close together? #Gorseinon #Gowerton #Loughor #SlowWays
The Only Way to Go
Too many people live life in the fast lane, always in a rush to get somewhere. You see so much more if you slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. You might not get as far but at least you'll have enjoyed the ride.
At Princetown to start another #SlowWays route, this time to Buckfastleigh. It’s a bit grey and mizzly up here. Dartmoor prison looking as inviting as presumably it was intended.
Hoping the weather will brighten (and warm) up a bit.
A fantastic day following in the footsteps of @nsummers12345@mastodon.social completing Ammanford to Llandeilo Slow Ways route. Plenty of nature to see along the peaceful sleepy Hollows. Passing close to Carreg Cennan broadly following the Heart Of Wales Trail. Highly recommended 5. #Ammamford #Rhyamman ##Llandeilo #SlowWays ##Carmathenshire #Hollows #Cerdded #CarregCennen #HeartOfWalesTrail #Wales #Cymru.
