A blog by Ben Gilman

Shuffling through my bookmarks on the lovely new Delicious I stumbled across the first time I’d bookmarked the excellent WalkIt.com.

WalkIt is a route planner for pedestrians. As an example here’s a route between two of my regular Soho beer haunts: the relatively flashy Sun & 13 Cantons and the no-nonsense Green Man on Berwick Street.

The route gives you distance, duration, calories burnable as well as CO2 avoided as well as turn-by-turn instructions. It’s a great little web application planning routes now in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and more.

Fingers crossed there’s an iPhone version is in the works?!
