Our Map of the Month for October 2022 is the Slow Ways Journey Planners by Urban Good. These maps are based on the grassroots initiative to create walking routes across Great Britain.
The printed maps are big, bold, beautiful and designed to inspire and support people imagine, plan and share journeys.
Slow Ways is an initiative to create a network of walking routes that connect all of Great Britain’s towns and cities as well as thousands of villages and every national park. People can use the routes to walk between neighbouring places or combine routes to travel over longer distances.
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.
