Gateway to the former Glasgow Maternity Hospital
Medical constraints and some rotten weather have kept me off the paths on more days than I should have desired, but recently, I have been working on the presentation of some routes.
Firstly, TfL decided to give the Overground lines names. There have been the predictable culture wars, but my reservations about the new names have nothing to do with their provenance, just disappointment at the lack of geographical definition (and worry about at least one hubristic naming. The new names give no hint to the passenger on the Clapham omnibus, far less to a visitor to London — particularly for the latter cohort, confusion will be lasting. For me, it meant re-drawing the maps and collecting the routes into different batches.
I have also upgraded ten of the greenwalks with links to sectional maps and generally better breakpoints for public transport users. Several of the upgraded routes are boundary circuits around urban areas. The routes are
- Barnsley Boundary Walk
- Beacon Way
- Bolton Rotary Way
- Bull Ring
- Centenary Way (North Yorkshire)
- Centenary Way (Warwickshire)
- Clyde Way
- Greater Manchester Boundary Walk
- Leeds Country Way
- Leicestershire Round
- Sheffield Country Walk
If the weather does not improve, I shall upgrade some more routes. If it does improve, I might actually get out and walk.
