#Walking the Okōchi Sansō #Garden, #Arashiyama, #Kyoto, #Japan. The place is absolutely beautiful, but considering its size, the length of the trail, and all the elevation changes, it felt more like a hike than a garden stroll. 😄

Motorists killing road workers? Money over lives?
We'd rather not know"The way road trauma was classified contributed to that visibility problem."
"A traffic controller killed at a roadworks site does not appear in a public 'road worker' category."
"...While Queensland published weekly road toll figures, there was no one publicly accessible source that integrated public road fatalities, work-related road deaths, serious injury hospitalisations in one place or in near-real time. Road workers are especially vulnerable because they are exposed on high-speed corridors where a single reckless decision can have catastrophic consequences."
"Tragically, one afternoon Suzanne was struck by a truck travelling 106km/h in a 60km/h zone. The truck drove on the footpath and killed her." >>

In Bellingen all space seems devoted to parking for combustion machines. Every lawn, river banks, footpaths - everywhere space is eaten by cars with an expensive need for petrol from the Middle East. Carparks litter the landscape of the small town that has very few footpaths.

Doing great work keeping the trails in shape around Pencoed.
If you fancy swapping your Saturday scroll for a stroll, this could be a good one to check out. #RightsOfWay #Footpaths #Wellbeing #Cymru #Wales #Pencoed #Social -
Another Bridgend Ramblers walking making use of Pencoed Footpath 5 running from Hendre, south of the M4 to Woodlands Fields. Access was a bit of a challenge with two stiles not making things easy for walkers. #Ramblers #Access #RightsOfWay #Footpaths #Hendre #Pencoed #Walking #Wales #Cymru

In another part, #cycle and #footpaths are clearly segregated and here they’re coloured distinctively. This is a good design and one often passes jammed road traffic at the busy junction ahead.

'There will be many #footpaths simply lost'
August 19, 2024
Emily Unia & Miguel Roca-Terry"Thousands of miles of footpaths could be lost due to a massive backlog in local councils dealing with applications, campaigners say.
"The government has set a deadline of 2031 for all rights of way in England to be added to an official map.
"But data gathered by the BBC suggests nearly 8,000 requests to get public paths and bridleways added to the map have not been processed – and some date back to the 1980s.
"The government said processing applications was the responsibility of local authorities."
[...]
"'We’ve got tens of thousands of miles of public rights of way that are not recorded or protected across #England and #Wales.'
"'If we have a deadline then there will be many paths that are simply lost.'"

A few more pics from part 2 of #SlowWays Plymstock to Salcombe. Restarting at Bigbury was not ideal - no buses of course (except on a Tuesday 🙄) so getting there this morning was a mini adventure in itself. Three buses (miraculously on time) & a lovely 5.5 mile walk along the Avon Estuary to the ferry. The continuation of the SlowWay was 10 miles through a landscape of rolling green hills & coastal valleys characteristic of the South Hams. A cracking #holloway too.
