#Fingerpostfriday The strange sensation of walking the Transpennine Way whilst on the relative flat in Merseyside. This was on a Slow Way between Maghull and Litherland @slowwaysuk.bsky.social
Another day out on the @slowwaysuk.bsky.social today. Starting in Ormskirk and finishing in Liverpool via Maghull, Litherland and Bootle on routes almost entirely authored by @hikinghistorian.bsky.social Another great day. And another county visited

First day back on the @slowwaysuk.bsky.social alongside @beeryhikerhugh.bsky.social and Ken since the 5 year anniversary of starting the reviews. A stroll from the charm of Kegworth via runways and warehouses then wide open spaces of Leicestershire and Derbyshire to the magic of Melbourne

Fascinating how it was drivers' views that were solicited rather than, say, the people trying to use the pavements
“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.” City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design. I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero
Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death
A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

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)..
