On Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June 2024 we are going to attempt to connect the North East to the Slow Ways national walking network, by getting as many people as possible to walk and review a Slow Ways route in the area.
Each Slow Ways route needs to be walked or wheeled by at least three people who leave a positive review, in order for it to become a trusted part of our verified network and we've already connected 25% of Britain with these reliable, verified routes. What's more, after this event, we will not only create a network to use locally, we will also connect Newcastle and Sunderland with cities as far apart as Edinburgh, Cardiff, London and even Plymouth with tried and tested walking routes, verified by volunteers just like you.
We will share more information about how to sign up for the specific routes you'd like to walk shortly but please register to let us know you are coming.
