Last month, I reported on the absorption of the former greenwalks.uk site. Today, I have added three walks to the site: the Loch Leven Heritage Trail, the Tyne and Wear Heritage Way (endpoints pictured), and the Community Forest Path in the Bristol area. The path which encircles the Newcastle/Gateshead conurbation mentions public transport, but only at the points which the organisers have deemed to be sectional breakpoints (can’t have the walkers deciding their own stopping-off points!), and the Community Forest Path ignores public transport altogether.
This is frankly shocking for these two organisations, which are loud in their advocacy that the citizenry should get out of town and onto the paths, as they fail to give the citizenry the pointers of how to do it. But then, at least one such organisation has a history of focus on the route (often counting angels dancing on the heads of pins to prove their commitment to a route on the map) without playing devil’s advocate and looking at the walk from the point of view of the users. By contrast, the Loch Leven route gets off lightly, since there are only two bus stops of interest.
