London in 360

Had a little fly around Leaside #Hackney today

Campaigners call for right to roam on edges of private farmland in England Group says people in rural areas have to walk on roads without pavement, which can be very dangerous

“Many people who live in rural areas are surrounded by fields, but effectively live on islands that they can only venture in or out of by car.”

Good work over the break by @danravenellison.bsky.social & @slowwaysuk.bsky.social on the action needed to develop safer & more inclusive walking network

Actually looking at this the counter is telling me that I hit 2024 miles 22 days ago…or fairly close to it.

Very clever or just a coincidence? 🧐 @gojauntly.bsky.social

I rather like how the @gojauntly.bsky.social 2024km Challenge still counts your distance even after the challenge is completed. ☺️
At some point last month I walked 2024 miles in 2024 🏆
