Love for Slow Ways

“A generational shift in the way we think about and walk between places” 

Mary-Ann Ochota, broadcaster and author

“The central idea is really large-scale infrastructural: to create a network, tested and timed and shareable and usable” 

Robert MacFarlane, writer

“Slow Ways is making it possible for more people to walk further and for more purposes” 

Clare Balding, presenter of BBC’s Ramblings

“A brilliant way to squeeze nature, wildness and adventure around the busy margins of modern life. For everyone, everywhere.” 

Alastair Humphreys, author and adventurer
