Is there an actual set limit? Sometimes I can get a result for a
longish walk (nunhead to Holborn for example) but when I did Holborn
to Wandsworth Town yesterday it said there wasnt a route available.


Isn't there a maximum walk option somewhere in the settings?


It used to be 2 hours. I don't know if it's still in place.


Well you can adjust the time but if it doesnt except anything over two
hours then that would explain it!

I'm trying to use the journey planner to work out the best walking
routes around London.

However for anything over 1 hour it sometimes claims no route
available, but this is intermittent. I've tried ticking the various
walking only options but to no effect.

Any tips for success here?


If you want purely walking routes (i.e. with no other modes of transport
involved) try using http://www.walkit.com/ instead.

Each day a man watched a donkey walk past a high wood fence with one
plank removed. Each day he saw a nose, then the ears, then the neck,
forequarters, back and finally the tail. He pondered this for a time
and eventually declared. “I understand now. The nose causes the tail”

It used to be unlimited, and you could get a walking route from

driving routes.

Right, because obviously there's nowhere else
http://maps.google.co.uk to get driving routes from.

Are you mocking TfL or me? If me, I'd like to hear a better explanation for
why the limit was introduced.


Either them for introducing it for that ridiculous reason, or you for
making it up. Hope that helps!
