For Walkers!
« on: June 16, 2008, 05:52:28 PM »
Hey fellow walkers,

I found a website that allows you to see how much time it takes you to walk from one place to the next as well as some other cool functions.

www.walkit.com

Enjoy!

That's pretty cool! I walk to work every day, so I entered in my home and work postcode and the "fast" time is exactly how long it takes me, but it's pretty cool to get the calories burnt (though use that with a grain of salt since they know nothing about your heart rate, age, or weight!!) and CO2 avoided. I really like the routes that avoid air pollution, too - that'll be very useful in central London. :)

I love this!  Seems a bit more accurate than the walking bit on TfL.

Fellow walkers,

Discover some of the little known facts behind some of Britain's favourite cities with a Walk Talk Tour audio downloadable travel guide.

Each Walk Talk Tour comes with an easy to follow downloadable map.

There are five tours of London, two of Edinburgh and one each of York and Manchester.  Typically, the walks are two miles, though the Manchester: Then & Now city guide and the London: City & South Bank Circular tour are longer.

In London discover the origins of the term robbing Peter to pay Paul, find the true centre of London, hear about the origins of Covent Garden, Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace and Mounting the Guard at Horse Guards.

In Edinburgh hear about the Castle's turbulent history, murder and intrigue at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, learn about the woman who survived the hangman's noose and visit a statue commemorating a famous wee dog.
