Slow Ways is a grassroots initiative to create a national network of walking routes that connect all of Great Britain''s towns and cities as well as thousands of villages. This giant network is being co-created and drawn by thousands of volunteers.Slow Ways was kick-started during the first lockdown with hundreds of volunteers suggesting thousands of routes. There are now over 8,000 routes in the network that cover over 120,000km. Using the Slow Ways website, people are now walking the routes to make sure they are good enough to be in the network. Split across a pair of Northern and Southern maps, each sheet is 126cm x 95cm. The two maps overlap, with the Northern map orientated in portrait and the Southern in landscape. Orkney and the Shetland are designed to be cut out of the Northern map, so they can be placed in the correct scale and location. On the front of each sheet is a graphic map of either Northern or Southern Great Britain, including Slow Ways route lines that can be coloured in. On the rear of each sheet is a beautiful bonus relief map of the whole of Great Britain, along with a set of Slow Ways routes.
