1. For this survey of Beenot Three, I walked easterly from Beeston to Nottingham. The meeting point of all Beeston routes, opposite the Bus & Tram stop. 0 km from start — 02 May 2024

2. The crossing from Market Square onto the High Street. This shows the typical pedestrian crossing for all roads on this route. 0.2 km from start — 02 May 2024

3. The High Road leading from Beeston. It changes from a pedestrian walkway to a pavement. Be aware that there are chalkboards and advertising boards around here that need to be navigated. 0.5 km from start — 02 May 2024

4. The University roundabout (or island as it is known around here) pedestrian crossings. This can be busy at certain times of the year and from here the pavement is shared with cycles. If you are here during the day, you can walk in the University grounds parallel to this route, but it is quieter and parts can be muddy. 1.2 km from start — 02 May 2024

5. University Boulevard is a wide pedestrian and cycle path. Stay left and cycles will do their thing to avoid you. 1.3 km from start — 02 May 2024

6. These are tram lines that cross the University Boulevard pavement into Lenton. They can be slippery in bad weather and so care needs to be taken crossing them. 2.6 km from start — 02 May 2024

7. This shows the worst part of pavement quality on the route. There is a lot of leaf mold on the floor at this time of year (which is cleaned up), There are bins and rubbish for collection, and pavement furniture and tree roots. All of this can be walked/wheeled around however. 2.9 km from start — 02 May 2024

8. Abbey Street pavement after the Dunkirk crossing. For those with limited mobility, it may be better to stay on this side of the road and to cross at the Abbey Bridge roundabout crossing. This is because the reviewed crossing at Abbey Street/Abbey Bridge is quieter more pedestrian friendly on this side of the road. 3 km from start — 02 May 2024

13. The pavement along Maid Marion Way is wide but hilly and you may meet a cyclist heading in the opposite direction, so stay close to the wall as you turn the corner into it. This is the steepest part of the route at 14-16% 5.5 km from start — 02 May 2024
-
14. Looking down into Friar Lane. There can be quite a bit of pavement furniture and there is a busy temporary bus terminus here (due to be moved to the new Bus Station in 2022). 5.9 km from start — 02 May 2024
