Greensand Ridge Walk

The Greensand Ridge Walk is a long-distance walk of 40 miles (64 km) that crosses Bedfordshire, with brief sections in Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire. From its southern endpoint at Leighton Buzzard the route runs north-west to Gamlingay, following the Greensand Ridge, a distinctive feature that rises from surrounding clay vales to give a landscape of gently rolling hills and small valleys, often heavily wooded and rich in wildlife.

FKT Monantsrunde Mai Knappensteig

This is the route of the month for the 2020 FKT Series in Austria:  https://fastestknowntimeaustria.com/

The route is described here: https://fastestknowntimeaustria.com/tirol/strecke-des-monats-tirol/

U.S. Route 40 was built to connect the East and the West, an idea brought to life by George Washington. It provided a stable route for trade through the Allegheny Mountains by farmers and emigrants. In the 1830's, the highway became possession of the state in which it passed through and that allowed for tolls to be collected, 6 tollhouses were built, only 2 remain, and you will pass 1 along this route. Cast-iron mile markers were placed along the route, they may not be the original markers, but you will notice their obelisk nature.
