Please add Sheffield to walkit.com. I used the
website all the time when i lived in London and
now i'm up here i feel lost without it!! Sept
8 I love the website, I walk home 3 miles
everyday so it was great seeing the good that
it's doing.  I even tested the routes as I go a
slightly obscure route which is the fastest way
and the site recommended it exactly. Sept 4
This is a brilliant idea!  I like to walk
around saving money and seeing the sights.  I
will definitely use this site more often. Sept 4
Just to say thanks I found your site easy to
use and am sure saved me a few quid not needing a
dodgey cab driver. Brilliant site and thanks
again. Sept 1
