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 #Kidwelly #BurryPort #Pembrey #Carmarthenshire #SlowWays #Cymru #SirGar #Wales

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.

Just saw this and thought would share here.

#SlowWays (an initiative to create a network of #walking routes that connects towns, cities and villages in GB) is advertising a vacancy for a Social Media and Community Support Manager.

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 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.

I’ve not reviewed a #SlowWays route for a while as I’ve done the ones local to me and/or with good public transport. But new bus services across Dartmoor have suddenly made the moorland routes more easily doable. Princetown to Ivybridge today and the sun is shining .

I’m creeping closer to joining up Abertawe and Caerdydd with another 5 ️ Slow Ways route from Y Pil to Port Talbot. Perfect route for wheels with a cycle path and Wales Coast Path running between the two settlements via Margam Park. #Abertawe #Swansea #Caerdydd #Cardiff #YPil #Pyle #PortTalbot #Margam #MargamPark #SlowWays #Bridgend #PenybontYrOgwr #Wales #Cymru #CoastPath #Cerdded #Cymraeg

Enjoyed exploring the disused Llynfi railway line stretching into the village of Aberkenfig alongside the River Ogmore as part of my Pyle Sarn Slow Ways adventure. Had the wait for the very protective and aggressive swans to saunter across the path to the nearby pond. #Llynfi #Aberkenfig #Ogmore #Pyle #Sarn #SlowWays #Cerdded #Nature #Swans #Wales #Bridgend #Cymru #Railway

5 ️ Slow Ways route from Pyle to Sarn passing through the amazing Parc Slip nature reserve. A reclaimed mine with a sad history when 112 miners died from an explosion in 1892. There is an amazing memorial with 112 stones built into a structure to remember each of the deaths. #SlowWays #Pyle #Sarn #Cerdded #Walking #ParcSlip #Nature #NatureReserve #Bridgend #Mining #Disaster #Wales #Crmyu #PenybontYrOgwr
