Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Laura Cheek
Goodgym headed out to survey a suggested route between Luton and Dunstable. Armed with tape measures and spirit level, and luckily sturdy walking boots off we went to see if the route was suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs etc. It turned out to be a rather challenging walkers hike with steep and muddy gradients and very neglected and poorly signposted paths, completely inaccessible to anyone other than a confident hill walker so there is plenty to feed back to the SlowWays community. Opportunities for future possible GoodGym tasks were seen, particularly in the wooded areas of Dallow Downs where fly tipping and footpath degrading have really taken hold.
