  1. Technical solution could help #Shetland #walkers ward off biting beastie

    Digital creator and #ShetlandTimes contributor Mark Burgess is behind the new application, which could provide welcome relief for walkers and other #outdoor #explorers.

    Similar #data has been used before to help fight against the #midge in mainland #Scotland.

    But the new app has been specifically designed to take account of Shetland’s own conditions

  6. @SunnJax This is exactly why all junctions should be *physically* constructed so that drivers have to make a right-angle turn, not a swerve, and will see all "obstacles" (people) before their vehicle

  11. Lake District rescue team donations top £38k after unpaid bill
    'The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team received over £38,000 in donations after settling a £130 unpaid hotel bill left by two walkers they rescued from Scafell Pike. The generous contributions, which came from around the world, were a surprise to the team and hotel staff, who expressed gratitude for the public's support. Despite the disappointing incident, both the rescue team and the hotel remain committed to assisting walkers in need.'

  16. Walkers are Welcome Town - Holywell

    Holywell is in Flintshire overlooking the Dee estuary with numerous places to find refreshments and accommodation.

    Several long distance trails start/end in Holywell and there is easy access to the Welsh Coastal Path.

    With easy access to the Clwydian Range (AONB), the area offers interesting walks with fantastic scenery

  17. Another uphill section and so it’s a good idea not only to separate the motor traffic from #cyclists but also #pedestrians. Cycles often bomb down here at high speeds and so that’s another good reason to have separate zones for #walkers.

  23. #Pedestrian fatalities have risen 83% from a low in 2009. Bigger, heavier #SUV s & distraction play a part.

    The largest factor is night-time speed on urban arterial routes, common in older, socially #deprived, multifamily housing & "arts/entertainment/food/accommodations" #neighborhoods, disproportionately affecting less #affluent people.

    #Cars are prioritized over #walkers & #cyclists, with a lack of sidewalks & crossings on wide roads with retail locations.

  24. Apologies in advance to any vegan or those on a plant based or dairy free diet, who were hoping to cut out junk in the new year, but I've just found out that Walkers Max Sizzling Flame Grilled Steak crisps do not contain milk!! When did this happen? Im' pretty sure they always had milk in but in their wisdom, Walkers have now removed it 😱 Bravo!! 👏 Whether I've just smashed in two bags or not is no ones business but mine & my waist line! 😜 You're welcome!

    What would you wear in 10-11 degree weather?

    I've been wearing shorts but I now read that being cold causes extra muscle fatigue.

    Your thoughts, please?

    Why was my walk harder than normal today?
    I was grumpy, I was very cranky indeed. I walked 10 mile and by the end of it I was ready to fight someone.

    I had two days off. I've been using A.I. to refine my progress. It suggested a rest day as I'm still not in great shape and I'd had 7 days of long walks. Could that have something to do with it?

    Opinions?

    Rule of thumb in the #US... Look at #auto / #pedestrian injury stats in your area. Many of the same factors that make things dangerous for #cyclists 🚲 are also dangerous for #walkers. 🚶

    Don't know the recent stats, but a few years ago #Florida was the worst in the US, and had two of the top three worst cities #Jacksonville and #Orlando . We generally don't even have sidewalks in many cities.

    Several deaths and bad injuries in my area over the years. We have a #GhostBike hanging in a tree about a mile from my house. ghostbikes.org/ I avoid riding my bike on the highways in Fla. 🙁

    In my experience, car drivers are rarely held responsible when they hit a bike.
