"Bl---- Bonkers". I spent some time producing NEWTEI 2 because NEWTEI 1 suffered 2 significant flaws. 1: The original GPX was too imprecise, notably where it confused one reviewer into taking an inappropriate wrong turning at Shaldon Bridge to cross under the railway line. 2: A quite worrying apparent failure to understand and appreciate the safety restrictions on timing because the track is intertidal between the A380 bridge and Shaldon. I am concerned that this reviewer appears to have walked the route without due respect to the clearly displayed warning signs (or my description) on completing below half tide. He has in fact rated not the NEWTEI 2 gpx route but his route on going "off-track" (something which it is not possible to do successfully and which is never necessary anyway when completed below half tide). Not sure what (if anything?) needs doing. Reported 05 Aug 2023
This review complimented the majority of the route but acknowledged a short section is closed. The path has been offically closed since before April 2019 and could remain closed for some time because of new development. The alternative I offer is small and makes the route slightly shorter but no longer passes the Foresters Arms Inn. It would be a shame to loose this review but route one should be considered for removal for the time being at least becasue it is not available. Is is possible to transfer this review to route 2?

I have only recently found this site, and was looking at Bansto route. I do not, at this stage, want to commit or 'do' anything fancy; however as I could find no other means of comment I have resorted to this option ... given that Safety is high on your list ... Looking online at various maps / satellite images of the point at which the present route crosses the A90 (2 lane dual carriageway with on/off slipways) west of Stonehaven I could see no safe crossing and would suggest an amendment of the route just a little to the south would enable a road bridge to be used. Present location South of England Reported 30 May 2022
Mr Graham has put up 2 reviews on this route on the same day. Reported 20 Jan 2024
I must have ticked the wrong boxes in the 'successfully completed' and the 'recommended by an expert' sections - I only did this with a small dog. I would not recommend anyone do this route with a large or very large dog (unless it can jump over 4ft) or with a wheelchair. I am not familiar with all terrain wheelchairs so I cannot comment on their ability to do this footpath. Reported 22 Mar 2022
Maurice does not want the pictures we took of him and Ruth posted on this review. I can't see how to delete my own review. Please delete it and this unsafe route. I will review the Calche02 route which I walked 2 days ago and recommend it replace Calche01 the direct route. Calche02 goes under the Motorway access road A466. Reported 02 Jun 2021
I think this review is also on the wrong route. It mentions going on Bowen Drive and past Kingswood House and they are both on WesCry 2 but not here. It's a bit confusing, especially as the writer then discusses a whole load of other roads/places, some of which might actually be on WesCry 1. I saw there is a flag on one of the reviews, so perhaps someone already noticed and adding the flag was the workaround to stop it counting. Reported 16 Sep 2023
Suggestion that other towns/villages with accommodation and services are selected as hubs to break down longer routes. In N E Wales I suggest Llandegla is added - it is major village stage on Offas Dike way and near Wales link path (Llandegla Forest to Saltney) - link to Wales Coast path near Chester. In Pembrokeshire I suggest Trefin is added - to split St Davids to Goodwick or Fishguard routes Reported 08 Jan 2024
Borehamwood to Potters Bar - where has Borpot Two gone, and why has Borpot One lost its review? Borpot Two has been on my ‘to do’ for a while; Tony (Strider) made it some time ago and it had 2 reviews (I think Derick did the other one). Was ready for a snailing, but has vanished! The Borpot One review pointed out some problems around the main road routing, and possibly flagged it. Would be good to get this sorted esp. if there is an underlying system problem; I know I would feel quite disheartened if any of my positively reviewed routes disappeared off the network. Thanks, Jane Reported 08 Dec 2022
04.07.21 I was uploading my review of Pathar1 on which I had submitted the allowed total of 15 pictures that I had referenced in the written review. It appears to have deleted all but the 1st 3 pictures "Oops! An Error Occurred The server returned a "413 Payload Too Large". Something is broken. Please let us know what you were doing when this error occurred. We will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused." Reported 04 Jul 2021
Routes have a date but it seems to be an Edit date not date uploaded. A route of mine whose description I later updated now appears to be about a year younger than the review. Not serious, but a bit confounding. Reported 24 Aug 2023
This is a follow-up to your previous request #1086 "Problem with a Route: Bexda..." Hi Cristie Oddly BexDar 2 =10125, which was the twin of this, isn't displaying properly on my laptop or my phone. Text, photos, etc is there, but the big map and route line is an entirely white space. Maybe there was an upload problem after all. I've just double checked, the same thing is still happening. No route line and no base map. Legend and buttons on top right are there but have no effect. Have refreshed page several times. Bex Dar One and other routes display ok though. Come to think of it neither One nor Two show on the progress map although both have positive reviews. And, just checked, if you click on the route line of BexDar 2 from another page it takes you to 10126=BexDar 3! I've got copies of the two texts and photos so if it's easiest to just delete BexDar Two and start again on a fresh BexDar route I could do that. Daisy Reported 25 Nov 2022
This is a follow-up to your previous request #531 "Problem with a Route: Wooal..."<br /><br /><div class="zd-comment" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">Hi Christian<div>I have now walked the remainder of the WooAln walk from Eglingham to Alnwick and have posted a review. Unfortunately this route does not work. At map ref 156172 there is a turn into Hulne Park and the rest of the walk to Alnwick is through this Park. Hulne Park is a large deer park associated with Alnwick Castle completely surrounded by a 2+ metre wall. There is public access but only through a gate in Alnwick and only from 11am to 7pm (less hours in the winter). It is closed some days and bicycles and dogs are not allowed. At the point of the suggested entry on the WooAln walk there is a large padlocked gate. The only way to get to Alnwick from here is a long walk along a narrow B road with fast moving traffic that follows the Park wall with no off road place to walk. It is not safe to walk along.</div><div>I have suggested an alternative route but I have been getting an error message when I try to upload it. I will try again to post it tomorrow.</div><div>Rick Sweeney</div></div><br></div> Reported 05 Jul 2021
This is a follow-up to your previous request #846 "Problem with a General: Site" Hi Christie I have tried to report two bugs/errors for a few days but keep getting Error 500, so I am trying emailing them. First A few of days ago, I accidentally clicked a second time to submit my review of Prebam Two, which I had created, when the first submission didn't show up quickly. My review is now duplicated, so please could you remove one of them. Second My Waylist map is showing Barrhead to Thorniebank (Bartho) which I didn’t add, and have never even viewed. When I click that route, and View Route Details, it takes me to Preley Two. Beneath my review is Other Routes for Barrhead—Thornliebank. Thanks Mary Oz (Austin) Reported 19 Feb 2022
😝😤Hi Cristie Apologies for the mess that is the reviews on NEWTEI2. I've had problems in getting hold of Tony and Julie - they can be hard to tie down! Tods is Tony. Chronologically, the first review ("We walked this . . . . . ") is the genuine Tods review entered for him by Julie. Julie then encountered problems in logging on herself and ended up entering her review with Tony's credentials! This appeared not to have worked and so she sent it again (you'll notice the slight differences). Both should have been attributed to Julie Squire (as in the Julie Squire reviews to CHUDAW2 and DAWTOP3). I compounded the problem by adding a comment to the first, plugging the tide issue, and addressing it to "Tods". Don't despair of us! It seems to me that Tods' original review ("We walked this route on Thursday . . . ") should stand. Julie's first review should be attributed to Julie Squire not Tods and the comment(s) deleted (you will see I also made a hash of that! So both comments!). I suspect this may not be possible probably because of the way the algorithms are written or because it amounts to tampering which could be deemed inappropriate. In this case perhaps both Julie's reviews could be deleted and I will work with Julie to restore her access and upload a new review. Annoyed with myself because I should have recognised the different styles, albeit both entered by Julie, but was of the mind that all 3 had been entered by Tony whom I suspect is a bit of a Jamie Oliver - a very clever, successful and delightful character who chooses, rightly, to delegate the written word to others. I am very anxious to resolve things with the utmost sensitively. Sorry, last thing you want on a Monday morning! Just let me know how you want to resolve it. Incidentally, they are both keen to do another and I'm inviting them to do Kingsteignton to Teignmouth which requires attention because it relies on a path that has never existed! Also requires hopping on a double decker bus to start which was a bit of a bonus getting to Newton Abbot 😊. Tony Reported 04 Sep 2023

This is a follow-up to your previous request #751 "Problem with a Route: Carki..." Hi, Regarding the route Heylan One, Heysham to Lancaster, it has been reviewed 3 times, twice stating that the route is good enough and 1 flagging "maybe" for reasonsof access. The route currently has no "snail" tick. All 3 walking groups commented on the tricky area, crossing the dual carriageway. The original route uses an underpass which is not a PRoW and at the Heysham (west) end there is a locked gate. The alternative uses existing PRoWs but needs to cross the busy main road. However there are footpaths on both sides and a wide island, with paved section, in the centre of the carriageways so is safe to cross. This modification to the original route solves the problem. The rest of the route is fine. Your route suggestions state that you do not want minor modifications to an existing route to become a new route which would require 3 more groups to walk and verify it. I have walked both versions and the road crossing option is the best, no need to climb gates or trespass. I suggest therefore that Heylan One could be modified as per the blue highlight in the attached map of the section and give the route its "snail" tick. I am sure this scenario exists elsewhere in the country. I look forward to your comments. Best regards Neil Herbert (Lancaster Ramblers) Heylan 1 Orig. Rev.jpg Reported 18 Aug 2023
Hi I've just seen your email asking for applications for storytelling commissions. I have some questions I can't see the answers to. [I'm looking at the Colchester-Norwich waylist, so I'll talk about that] - Doing the entire 90mi walk in one go seems unlikely! Am I right that I can break it up in any way I want? eg. can I walk 1.5 routes on one trip, 0.5 route the next time, 2 the next, etc. Or for a given route do I have to have walked that in one day? [I think the answer is that it is very free form - as long as I have genuinely walked it, and the photos will confirm that, I can do it however makes sense] - the goal seems to be adding 3 reviews for all the routes in a waylist (so for each of the 9 routes in this waylist). Does it have to be the same 3 people for all of the routes? eg. could I walk Colchester-Manningtree with Alice and Bob, then Manningtree-Ipswich with Bob and Charlie, etc. Or does it have to have a “core” of 3 people that do all the routes?
