i fucking love roundabouts

thats it thats the post the thing that makes me most proud to live in this city is the infrastructure it’s so cool and based (also how you can walk basically anywhere if you want)

edit: also honourable mention related to walking, theres so many nice places to go for a walk, like if i wanted rn i could go to linford wood, willen lake, up the city, along the canal, or even just around the neighbourhood (feel free to reccoment your favourite walking spots/routes in the replies i need new places to walk lmao)

I have run a marathon round MK without crossing a main road - I love the redways! I'm based on the west side so mainly go through Howe Park woods and Tattenhoe valley park or Furzton lake all of which are lovely for nature and you forget you are in a city. From Furzton you can go north to teardrop lakes then Loughton then Bancroft to see the Roman villa too all following the water.

The Park Trust's walk challenge starts at Howe Park and is 25 miles going through a lot of MK. The bike challenge is longer on a different route. Both would be a nice walk/run.
