Slow Ways is an organisation aiming to document a national walking network and has recently partnered with Goodgym to gather information on both established and uncharted walking routes. The aim of our mission was to navigate a route from Luton to Flitwick and comment and collaborate with other reviewers on the experience. Oh my days ! A cold start ! A warm-up workout at Luton station and straight into a hill climb to Stopsley dispatched the chills. Then away from the road onto Stopsley Common and Warden Hill, blue skies above. Running and walking our way with a couple of minor deviations from the course that were easily rectified without retracing steps. We were over halfway at Barton-le-Clay, passing a very big house in the country reputed to be the inspiration for that 1995 Blur song. A little more walking than running to follow. Several pauses for pics to illustrate some of the waymarkers, a scary but short road walk near Sharpenhoe, a sad looking derelict house with a story to tell, and a ramble through woodland patches lit with snowdrops and winter aconites. Coffee and cake at the finish line by Flitwick rail station. A very worthwhile exercise and no evident injuries but possibly some sore toes and tired legs to remind us of a great day out on the hills.
