• Getting Error 500 (inside the popup) when trying to download MalWor 2 from the route page. But I did find a way, go to Worcester page, (set to view using Desktop site in browser settings if using a mobile) then click on the triple dots between Route name and snail. Choose Download (reset to Mobile site!). Reported 01 May 2025
• I have changed my email address several months back. The new address works as part of the credentials and shows on the Myaccount info. However, unsolicited emails from you are still addressed to the old address. Reported 24 Apr 2025
• Inadvertent exposure of reviewer's email address on the settlement page's scroll bar of recent actions. In the review the middle part is replaced by *** but not in the action square. Will send detail separately. Reported 25 Mar 2025
• Please update the progress map more frequently, monthly or more if possible. It hasn't been updated for 3 months and where I live that makes a lot of difference so it is functionally nearly useless. The only time it could've been a little helpful was this morning when your website maps weren't loading (on my Android phone via 4 different internet connections). I was trying to juggle a last minute forced change of Slow Ways walking plans and the progress map would have been at least a rough idea. The website maps problem probably can't be foreseen but the progress map could be. Reported 15 Mar 2025
• Gambling pop ups from the stories site on my Google pixel Reported 25 Feb 2025
• The route list on 'Settlement Web' pages is less complete than it used to be. For example, /Settlement/Whaley Bridge/Web shows on the map Poywha, Bolwha, and Poybol. But on the list below the map, Poybol is missing. All the Web routes which don't go through the hub are missing. Reported 15 Feb 2025
• Twice now I've inadvertently found myself on a gambling website when I was expecting to open a page within the blog or stories part of the site. The second time I took a screenshot and will send it as a reply. Haven't been able to deliberately replicate it. Reported 24 Feb 2025
• Near the bottom of every route page is "Other Routes for Settlement A—Settlement B" (Using title font) Then, immediately below is "See all Slow Ways" (in text link font) Which takes you to the Journey Planner page, open zoomed in to your location (if that's enabled). Obviously this isn't the page people would expect, or even necessarily in the right geographic area. And there's already a page that fits exactly with what you would expect IE the beta.slowways.org/SlowWay/ (insert 6 letter slow way code) page. Writing this gives me deja but I can't find any evidence it's been reported. Given the pages exist isn't this fix just low hanging fruit? Even if a link to the/SlowWay/ page isn't possible wouldn't it be really easy to change the route page template so the text says Journey Planner instead of this confounding mismatch. Perhaps the link was changed already, did it link to the Search page once upon a time? If so it still contradicts the text so isnt an improvement IMO. Also, frustratingly, there are very few ways (maybe only one) to find these /SlowWay/ pages other than already knowing they exist and typing them yourself (including correct capitalisation or it won't work). They are really useful when choosing between alternatives. Reported 22 Feb 2025
• GPX download for Exesilfour is missing, shows Error 500 message when I try to download it. Reported 21 Feb 2025
• BolClo two - the GPX download gives a 500 error. I raised this on Discord a few weeks ago but the problem is still the same. This means the route is only useable on the Android and iPhone apps. Reported 28 Jan 2025
• Key on website maps has very recently stopped being collapsible. This seems to be true for all the different types of pages: routes, waylists, settlements, etc. I'm looking at the site in Chrome for Android. Pretty annoying as it covers 1/6 th of the visible map. Reported 24 Jan 2025
• Hey Daisy, Just following up on the Progress Map as I promised I would. Daniel says it's on his list for this weekend so tech-permitting it should be updated by Monday. Thanks for your patience. Dan Reported 10 Apr 2025
• Explore the North Penines on NE page is dead. Reported 13 Jan 2025
• The Marple to New Mills page https://beta.slowways.org/SlowWay/Marpnew#close has a weird DawExm Two link on the map Dawlish-Exmouth but the link takes you to MarpNew Two. Reported 06 Feb 2024
• I noted this was reported. My route won't upload because the start and endpoints don't match but I put both into my OS Maps program and included them in the route? "When uploading a route the start and end points have to match the pre-existing choice of start and end already on the website. It shouldn't matter if a route goes from the existing "end" to the existing "start", i.e. is inverted. (e.g. Chippenham to Calne is the same as Calne to Chippenham - either direction should work.)" Reported 26 Apr 2021
• Hi Cristie and Dan. Not a bug but a general comment for development of the reviewing process. Please have a look at the string of comments on LevKen Four. Cheers! Reported 21 Oct 2023
• Re MarpNew continued... The link takes you to https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Dawexm/8803 which shows the same map as https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Marpnew/8803 Reported 06 Feb 2024
• I’m having issues with my account it seems - all my friends can access route pages no problem, and when I’m not logged into the site I can as well. As soon as I log in to my account, however, I run into Error 500 messages whenever I try to open most of my waylists or any route pages! Reported 18 Jul 2022
• This may be related to the more general site instability this morning, but I spent some time sorting my walked walks waylist earlier so that the early ones were in chronological order, and all but one of my changes seem to have been been reverted to the old random order, so I'll have to do it all again now. Reported 22 Jan 2023
• Hello. I'm struggling a little to enter place names on the "Find your Slow Way" landing page. On a smartphone (Android) the text box where you initially enter a place name becomes unreadable when you start typing anything in it. You can't tell if you have mistyped it. And that can be a particular problem if you are less proficient at typing on phones. Like many older people, or people with tremors, or people like me who seem to just have fat fingers. The problem is threefold. a) the on screen keyboard takes up the bottom half of the screen b) the purple box (which shows how many routes etc have been completed) pops up when you start typing and it fills half the remaining screen space almost covering the text box. c) you can't make the text box reappear by scrolling, as the purple box just scrolls up and down over/with it. It's pretty bad with the phone in portrait, but in landscape it's impossible. I would like to look at routes on my phone so it's a problem for me. But no-one else seems to have noticed or perhaps have cared and I realise you are a small team and have limited resources for website tweaks. This would be on my personal wishlist though because it is the entry point every time I want to use it. Reported 29 Jun 2021
• Too many Waylists which I created by accident or ignorance now I wishto delete them but while a pop up box appears it does't work. I see this was reported back in June but it's still a problem. Reported 29 Oct 2021
• Just tried to download Polmont to Bo'ness (Polbo One), and get either a 500 server error (if using the download button on the route itself), or a slightly more friendly 'we can't find that' message (if downloading the route from the context menu on the map). Other gpx files seem to be downloading Ok so I thought there might be a problem with that gpx in particular. Exactly the same as the last but one error but a different route! Mary Reported 01 Nov 2023
• Problem with GPX download of waylist. Download of current waylist only actually downloads waylist as originally built, route added subsequently is missing. New route =WooTha 1 so waylist is still connected as single line. https://beta.slowways.org/user/waylist/25-nov/8492 Have noticed other minor issues with waylist downloads so this is probably known bug, reporting just in case it's not. Reported 05 Dec 2022
• Having surveyed Newoln today: Errors/bugs - I gave this a 3 for path surface grade – it has been recorded as U. - I gave this a Y for mobile phone coverage – it has been recorded as ‘no information’ - I gave this a Y for free of flight of steps – it has been recorded as ‘don’t know’ Lack of clarity - When uploading photos there is no acknowledgement of uploading successful once you do it. Can’t tell if its worked or not, which is frustrating. - I skipped the gradients and camber questions (I didn’t measure them) – but they are shown as 0%. This is misleading – implies it’s flat. - A red X next to ‘Possible to avoid steps’ implies there are steps, even when I ticked to indicate there were no flights of steps. Suggest change to say ‘Possible to avoid steps, if applicable’ General comment - Please can there be a way to edit your own previously uploaded survey? This would mean any errors made in uploading can be fixed immediately, or data amended in light of new info (e.g. adding features later if not done first time). If this feature already exists -please nake clear how to choose it. Reported 11 May 2021
• I had a problem uploading a route using a ViewRanger gpx file. I was able to get round the problem by importing to the Ordnance survey, then exporting again, then uploading to slow ways. Reported 29 Apr 2021
• Further to my previous report on problems with pledges. The error happened from this page https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Whitmar/4090 . I have successfully pledged on this page https://beta.slowways.org/Settlement/Whitchurch%20(Shropshire) Reported 14 Jul 2023
• Same as previous reported problem - I tried to upload an alternative route with 2 photos and gpx file with correct end points and got the same error message Reported 04 Jul 2021
• Error 500 New Waylist I’m trying to create a new waylist for the National Park trail, and the last couple of days its crashing out with Error 500. Deadline is approaching!! I created some new ones about a week ago no problem. Thanks, Jane Reported 29 Jun 2022
• The map function isn't loading at all for us on the site today. We've tried both Chrome and Edge. There is a javascript error in the console that seems related to this - can send more details if you can't replicate the error. Reported 27 Nov 2021
• Am finding a real problem just signing in! On my iPad it goes straight in - but I cannot access my profile ( well I can but it doesn’t tell me password obviously as I’m already logged in...but then when trying to reset password - or find some way of you letting me reset a password - it asks me for my Password ....rrrgh)!! I need to check my password to upload a route to my iPhone. - I see that I have downloaded a local route - but when I open it it is obviously got to be loaded into Mapmywalk...but I cant do it!! I have spent ages going round and round in circles - I could have designed a walk in the time Ive spent here. This is such a shame as I was really looking forwards to trying out a route! Help to access or reset password then?? Reported 26 Apr 2021
• A particular type of "Download GPX file" link doesn't work. Start from a route page, make unverified routes visible, then click and choose Download GPX from popup. Goes to a url like this https://beta.slowways.org/gpx/3524_Romsou_Romford_South%20Ockendon.gpx It's a page of plain text html starting with "XML file has no style information associated with it". Perhaps trying to open a gpx file in browser instead of downloading it? Reported 29 Apr 2023
• Tried to submit a review. Text entered, photos wouldn't upload, clicked on submit and it said page timed out or something and the review didnt upload. Cant find any help Reported 20 Jun 2024
• Something seems to me to have changed in the home page. Entering Hilton in the search box now no longer brings up Hilton (South Derbyshire) - which is a Slow Ways node. Searching for Hilton now brings up five Multiple Matches, all of them various Hiltons in England or Scotland, but none of them SW nodes. Up to a week or two ago Hilton (South Derbyshire) WAS found from a search for Hilton. This seems to have a flavour of the problem reported for MOLD in the bug report dated 26 June? Reported 04 Jul 2021
• The Terms include "natural person". What does "natural" mean here? There is no contact email for general enquiries. Reported 15 Jun 2023
• Review of Milble Three isn’t showing. This seems to be the same problem I had last week when I submitted a review for Walkin Two which also disappeared with no trace. (Ticket 1206). I wrote a review of Milble Three using the app, 2 photos attached, submitted, look to be fine, no error message, but …. no new review appears. I think this needs a bit more following up please, it is very frustrating, and also when I have to do it twice the second one is always going to be less considered and probably less useful as a result. I can go back to using the website for posting reviews, but I did find using the app easier for managing the photos. Reported 11 Jun 2023
• Not a problem with the website but your description of an X access grade is completely wrong on the IOS app. An X means not accessible to wheelchairs etc. I know because I surveyed some routes in the summer and they were definitely not accessible for wheelchairs. Please remedy the route access grade descrption in the App , as soon as possible, so that the app does not ‘lead people astray’ over accessibilty. Thanks. Jm Reported 20 Oct 2022
• Inconsistency in photo thumbnail display for portrait oriented photos (and one other), possibly linked to the process by which they were uploaded. E.g. Rombre 2 thumbnails on route Overview page. Photos 1-7 uploaded with route: portrait photos = 6, 7: both thumbnails are portrait. Photos 8-21 from a review: portrait = 17: thumbnail is landscape but only shows middle part of photo - missing the full scope. Photos 22-28 from a photo survey: portrait = 22, 24, 26: thumbnails are all portrait. But photo 28 is different again as the photo is actually landscape (just! 1280 x 1251 pixels) but the whitespace surrounds the thumbnail display as if it were portrait. Is this is a new feature? I remember "portrait" thumbnails like photo 17 before. I'm not sure it's a success as the amount of white space now on the page rather defeats the purpose of a quick view of thumbnails, particularly when using a landscape computer screen. Maybe the whitespace could be shown as vertical white bands within portrait thumbnails so the on-route-page alignment and white space doesn't change? Or just return it to all being like 17 again - is there a functional need for full scope thumbnails for every portrait oriented photo? Reported 29 Dec 2023
• This is just a test of the 'bugs' page on the web site. No need to respond! Reported 14 Apr 2021
• Your site does not seem to recognise Chorlton or Chorlton-cum-Hardy!! Not a good introduction as I have two better routes to add to the ones on your map. Reported 08 Sep 2022
• I have uploaded facilities for Stainburn twice now (about one and two weeks ago) but although I get a note to say they have been successfully uploaded they have not appeared on the site. Reported 20 Jul 2021
• Hi Cristie! I’m not sure this is a bug so much as an explanation I’m looking for. I’m getting frequent emails (6 in the last 24 hours) saying one of my routes has been reviewed. The route is Marlei One Markfield to Leicester, and the name of reviewer is David Griffiths. I don’t have David on my radar as a developer (perhaps I should). The more recent reviews include ‘test’, and they don’t appear on the live site. Could you do a check with Darren that this is all ok and above board? I will then ignore the emails! Thanks, Jane Reported 29 Mar 2023
• For some reason I can't create a survey, nor can I login to the Forum pages. When trying to create a survey, I click on the survey tab on the route and it asks me to complete my surveyor training which I have definitely done. Also, my login details don't work in the Forum pages, but they do when I use them to login to the main site. Reported 21 Jun 2022
• I downloaded a Waylist and successfully transferred it to my OS device. All well and good. However, when I look at "My Account" it says I haven't downloaded any routes. Is there a fundamental difference between Routes and Waylists? If so, this needs to be made clear elsewhere on the site Dave Bennett Reported 21 May 2021
• i signed up for Slow Ways in 2020 and have been receiving updates to the above email address. Today i tried to login to the site and having forgotten my password tried a password reset. The system did not recognise my email address and so I have created a new account. I can not now access my account (error 500?) Reported 25 Apr 2021
• Please can you remove Maiasc Zero which is showing in my reviews waylist THIS LINK https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Maiasc/9258. It's another blank one. However, please be careful about https://beta.slowways.org/SlowWay/Maiasc. The text says there is no route for Maidenhead to Ascot, but the map shows my Skipton to Cross Hills route, although clicking that takes you to SkiCro Zero https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Skicro/9258 which is blank. I re-uploaded SkiCro Three https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Skicro/9890 which seems to be okay. There seems to be an ongoing occasional problem when uploading a new route, possibly when someone else happens to submit something at the same time. There is now no Maidenhead to Ascot at all, and my Skipton to Cross Hills disappeared (but I uploaded it again), and also when I added Preston Leyland (PreLey Two) it somehow got linked to Thorniehill-Barrhead near Glasgow as far as my waylist map goes https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Bartho/9391. Reported 12 Jul 2022
• Mold (Flintshire) is a hub with several Slowways routes, but search box does not find it ( I reported this bug at beta testing stage - still not fixed) Reported 08 Jan 2024
• My last five submitted surveys have not been added to the site. BRISAL 3, PARBUR 2, PARBUR 1, STEPAR 1, ARUSTO 2 Reported 13 Mar 2022
• There is an anomaly with Yate to Frampton Cotterell-winterbourne. The Slow Ways map indicates that there is a Slow Way between these two places but a click through from the line leads to a blank page and the Slow Way is not mentioned on either of the place pages. Is there a Slow Way GPX for this route? Is there meant to be? Reported 12 Feb 2023
• I just tried to write a review for one of the Plymouth-Plymstock routes today (22/05/2021), along with 3 photos, and I received an Error 500 message after submitting. Reported 22 May 2021
• As stated by others the new suggested route I tried to upload was rejected because the start and end points were more than 15 m from the designated start even though I used the maximum magnification on the maps to ensure they were exactly the same. The start and end points would seem to be too strict and I think they should be relaxed a little to avoid this problem. Reported 19 Apr 2021
• Selecting OS maps does not show OS maps at all but a grey and white basemap with little detail. Other map types work as expected (ie Openstreetmap and topography) Reported 16 Apr 2021
• Search for Mold on the main page and you get a list of slow ways, places and routes in West London and one slow way from Scotland based on places named Old something. No Scottish places or routes though which just makes it feel more problematic. If I was a newbie who fancied dipping my toes into Slow Ways in NW Wales this would put me off, and it's a big gap in testing. Gillingham in Dorset had a similar problem and now it's in a strange zombie state. Can you make a one off adjustment without Mold falling into the same hole? Reported 21 Nov 2024
• Hello, When downloading a route from a specific route page on a mobile device (Safari, iOS 14.8) the download "popup" or overlay has an incorrect Z-height - it appears below the download/print/save to waylist etc. buttons. The "Yes, Download" button is still visible so the page is still usable but it could do with a touch up. I'll send a screenshot shortly to illustrate. Thanks! Aidan Reported 18 Sep 2021
• There are 2 SouBur One routes. https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Soubur/257 and https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Soubur/4497. Upload date for both is 7 April 2021. Bit confusing for users, not sure if it could have any technical consequences. At the moment there is a single negative review on 257, and nothing on 4497. But 4497 coincides with (or follows) the suggested fix (and it adds a little more coast path nr one end). Is possible to rename one of them, i.e. simply change 4497 to SouBur 2? Reported 05 Mar 2023
• Route Strkin One I was checking a route that I originally plotted. The route on the website has an excess of waypoints and they are not accurately placed - It looks like the route was simplified (some turns and wiggles removed) and then run through another system that added a load of intervening points. In its current form it cannot be followed. I have downloaded the route, uploaded into OS then corrected. The web page won't let me upload that new route - error message says start and finish too far from grid ref. But I haven't changed the start and end points - on the OS they match the ones quoted. Please let me know if there is something else I can do. Reported 25 Apr 2021
• The zoom in/out trackpad gesture doesn't work on the site's maps. Using latest Chrome or Firefox on macOS 10.14. Reported 14 Jun 2021
• I walked Cirfai two on 3 July and have submitted a review and a survey. However the route details are no longer visible. I just get an error 500 and a promise someone is looking in to it. By the way searching for a route from Cirencester to Fairford produces 3 results but only Cirfai two was visible until the above. The other 2 don't show anything. Cirfai one is presumably excluded because it's described as dangerous in two's description but three is a mystery. Reported 08 Jul 2023
• Route map not showing. But on main site this time. Coucat 2 using chrome on android. Blank white space instead, key does show. Refresh etc makes no difference. Only happens on this route of the 6 or show I've just been looking at. Reported 24 Jun 2023
• Can't get passed screen two of the training module. (page 2 of 7) , throws error banner saying two errors on page . Tried with Safari & Firefox (on Mac OS) Reported 31 Dec 2021
• Hello, Every time I choose a new Slowways page 'Accept all Cookies' pops up and I can't do anything till I have chosen a box. This is very annoying and the fault dates back over a month now according to a bug report submitted in June. Reported 27 Jul 2024
• Website looking good but as others have said the paging needs a bit of refinement. How to link - enjoy responsibly link returns a blank page - verify link paragraph 3 ‘beshould’ needs a space, paragraph 4 ‘aa route’ needs a link?, ‘three people think’ looks odd - survey link paragraph 1 is missing an ‘and’ - add link, how can you add is missing a full stop between transport and find, Scotland click here is not a link Great Britain and United Kingdom are used interchangeably - is this deliberate? About section No mention of ‘in the news’ and ‘who’s making it happen’ sections Information looks good and easy to read, but have you considered the look and feel of the pages and any accessibility requirements to make the site accessible to everyone? Reported 19 Apr 2021
• I tried to complete a survey (Aldwit One) and uploaded 22 photos with detailed comments in each photo box. However, I can’t see the photos on the website. Also, I had prepared answers to all the questions about % of route on roads etc, about the terrain, facilities, etc and none of these came up. As soon as I had answered the accessibility questions and uploaded the photos, the survey was submitted and that was it. I can’t see how I’d go back in to edit my survey. I also didn’t get an email confirming that I’d submitted a survey. Reported 29 Apr 2021
• Similar to the problem reported by Rona yesterday. I’m trying to pledge to walk from Newport (Shops) to Whitchurch (Shrops) via Market Drayton but every time I hit the pledge button on either leg it takes me to error 500. Reported 14 Jul 2023
• Sometimes comments from one review are attached to another . See my comments on my own review of BRISAL one. There's a further comment from someone else's review of a completely different Slow Way. It mentions HS2, so it's nothing to do with Brighton. Reported 03 Oct 2021

Also, got an error, try to do so: Looked at a route, UppShe2 Logged in - was redirected to account page Pressed browser back button to get back to route page. Clicked "pledge to walk this route". No effect. Tried again, got an error 500 overlaid panel. In account > your pledges, I've got the pledge twice. I was able to remove one. I've also noticed in the news feed for another route someone had pledged multiple times to walk a route. Reported 04 May 2024
• Hello - I've just completed the Surveyor Training including the questionnaire at the end and the tick box - but this has not registered in my Profile which still offers me a link to do another surveyor training?! Reported 30 Apr 2021
• When signing up the form requires a username, email address and password. When I logged in I used username and password but then it asked me to use my email address to login. Note that I use a password manager so whilst the form may have said "email", auto-complete fills it in anyway. I would avoid "username" as it's generally regarded as the other part of logging in. If the username is meant as a way of identifying you to other users, probably better to make this a "Nickname" or "Name" which can then be updated in a profile section. Lastly, passwords will become a thing of the past. Even banking now (Monzo) does not have a password. I would recommend adding to your backlog to drop passwords and use email authentication. Reported 24 Apr 2021
• My waylist https://beta.slowways.org/user/waylist/All%20routes%20walked%20by%20Mary%20Oz/3643 is showing a random straight line from Maidenhead to Ascot. Nowt to do with me! Reported 20 Dec 2021

• I listened to the talk this morning via u3a which I found very interesting, so naturally looked to see how the website worked and 1st impressions look good. However our village in not included. I live in Balsall Common, near Coventry, West Midlands, north of Kenilworth. On the map it shows Balsall Street which just a street. Therefore , maybe you can change this to Balsall Common which has a population of nearly 7,000 and increasing rapidly. Thank you Reported 17 Jun 2021
• I submitted a Hucarn One survey but has not appeared on the website. I’m not keen to resubmit in case it duplicates. Reported 23 Jan 2022
• I can’t work out how to view a route. If I click download nothing seems to happen. Trying to access on my iPhone so likewise if I try to print it says not compatible with screen size. Will try using laptop but ideally I need to be able to access the route from phone to follow when out walking. Shame to hit a dead end so soon. Reported 30 Apr 2021
• I have reviewed a route - CanHer - Canterbury to Herne Bay. I up loaded some images but only one image is shown. I have mentioned residential, developments, woodlands and farmland in my review and thought I should illustrate how varied this walk was. Reported 01 May 2021

• Ink Atlas links are misbehaving. From a route page > click More Options > All the options respond on Left Click except Ink Atlas. It is possible to Right Click, new window etc but a) this has changed b) it'd probably be off putting to new/irregular users, especially if they don't know what Ink Atlas is anyway (I didn't!). And Ink Atlas / printing a map (without using one of the recommended apps?) doesn't seem to be mentioned in the FAQ which is odd. Reported 12 Nov 2022
• Hi, I wrote a review for a route, and saved it, but it does not display. I wrote is again, same thing. Are reviews working? Thanks Robert Reported 28 Apr 2021
• Settlement pages say "N people have contributed to Settlement X's Slow Ways", but it seems to be a simple count of reviews, not including authors of new routes or discounting repeated names. E.G. Edenbridge: it says 4 people should be 2 people, or maybe 3 if you include the original routes as a single anon. author. Not serious but it does seem to be a bug given that review numbers and number of routes drawn are explicitly stated (for SWays) elsewhere on the same page. Reported 24 Aug 2023
• Getting an Error 500 when I try to access my waylist list from either the top ribbon button ("My Waylists") or from my account page ("Waylists and Saved Routes"). I can roundabout access individual waylists by clicking on a route in the journey planner page, letting the list of waylists appear, and then clicking "view" on a particular waylist to view it. Reported 11 Jul 2021
• Cannot do a place survey for Gillingham (Dorset). It appears this is because Gillingham in Dorset and Gillingham in Kent both have the place name Gillingham, and any reference to Gillingham links to the Kent one. This also means that any attempt to create a new route for the existing Slow Ways from the Dorset Gillingham (Gilmer, Gilsha, Margil, Stagil, Wingil) requires the Kent Gillingham as a start point. Gillingham is a Walkers are Welcome town, but we really can't promote Slow Ways in North Dorset until this is resolved. I suggested in the forum that they be renamed Gillingham (Dorset) and Gillingham (Kent). Could this be looked at quite urgently please? Thanks Reported 30 Apr 2021
• Waylist GNSS/GPX track is off compared to the component routes: Compare the ground track of the beginning of waylist https://beta.slowways.org/user/waylist/hatdroshe/14139 with the beginning of route https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Hatdro/5674 The tracks are significantly different, to the point of being potentially misleading in places. I don't know if this is a feature (for simplifying very long waylists) or a bug ? Latest Firefox, Windows 10. Reported 11 Aug 2024
• 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
• Hi, I imagine there is an update or something. However, I tried to download a couple of fox files today. Likely to Otley and Guisley to Otley. Both returned an error 500. Tried both a few times. Tq Reported 20 Mar 2022
• After editing a flagged review to reword it, the flag is removed and the associated text disappears, even if you do not change the flag (which means you have to update the review again to restore the flag, and retype the text). I have encountered this bug twice in the last week, most recently with BOLSHI 1. Reported 01 Dec 2022
• Unexpected route showing on Waylist! Kinwin Two has just appeared on one of my waylists - pretty sure it wasn't there yesterday. There is also a message on the waylist route list saying 'This route no longer exists in the network as it has been flagged (10502)' - which I think may be related. Thanks Jane Reported 31 May 2023
• Suggestion (the suggestion link in the e-mail does not seem to be working so I cannot leave a suggestion there). Some 'Places' in North Yorkshire have no bus or train stops, and no accommodation, but seem to have been chosen based solely on geographical location. There are, however, inns offering accommodation, Bed and Breakfast and holiday lets in places within a few miles of those suggested and there are also places with bus routes and train stations also within a few miles. It is unlikely anyone would want to walk to somewhere they cannot get out of or stay in, so I wonder if provision could be made for adding/removing 'Places' subject to agreement of others, in a similar manner to adding/removing routes. The exact way in which this could be done would need to be thought through. Reported 20 Apr 2021
• - I cannot see any actual routes/maps ! - I can see everything else fine - and I know what it should look like as I have done the online session this week - but for routes/maps I am just getting just blank screens ..... help ..... Reported 30 Apr 2021
• Routing tool on a (a)n Android phone. When I type in a place I'll use my phone's autocorrect, like always, and it inserts a space at the end of the word. The routing search doesn't trim the trailing space so it can't find the place, even though to a human eye it looks fine, so it is initially unclear why the drop down list of options has blinked off. Something similar happens if you click through to the new list, but then use the back button to generate a new one. The names are still there but they are no longer recognised. Of course neither issue is particularly significant but could just make the experience a teeny bit less smooth. Reported 02 Jul 2023
• The "live" progress map no longer provides links to each route. If you click on a route, it does a whirly wheel for a few moments, which then disappears, without showing the popup box that used to appear. Reported 25 Mar 2024
• Route shown as verified twice but only one reviewer. Worupt One Worcester - Upton upon Severn This was reviewed and verified for the first time on 01.02.2022 by Grifftinfoilhat It looks like the review was reposted (maybe to add a second photograph) and by doing this it has been verified a second time. However as I understand it a reviewer's second verification shouldn't count toward the total tally, is that right? Otherwise it would be easy to get new routes their snails without going through a proper peer review process. I'm pretty sure previously where I've added a second review to make a note it hasn't counted my second verify tick towards the tally. Reported 04 Feb 2022
• I’ve downloaded the app on iPhone XS but am unable to login despite making sure I have reset it and am using the correct, current password saved on the website. I am able to log into with the website ok using the same details. I’ve tried signing up for an account on the app using the same email address as for the website, and get a message that email address is already in use. I’m guessing this means the same login details (email and password) apply across both platforms. I’ve been getting your newsletter since the beginning and hope to log into the app soon to start reviewing! Reported 26 Dec 2023
• Mobile, Android. Error 404 loop after using Er404 search box. I entered a URL link I hoped was a SlowWay page but it was wrong. "Sorry we couldn't find that" page appears. Start to type place name into this new search box but within a few letters (time not keystrokes) it jumps straight to a new Er404 frame in front of and within the first. Tried again, again then again, result is 5 nested Er404 pages like Russian dolls. At this point the top window is so narrow there's no search text box visible to click into. Refreshing page returns to original flawed URL and same results. Starting URL was https://beta.slowways.org/SlowWay/strbas. I actually wanted StaBas. Reported 21 Jul 2023
• RomBre 2 survey submitted earlier but the route grading shows variously as UU, 0U or correctly 4X if you scroll right down the survey tab. Chrome did crash during my first attempt to submit this, might be relevant? Thanks. Reported 15 Dec 2023
• Page: Downloaded Routes Number of bugs: 2 Bug 1 Description: I downloaded several routes a few minutes ago (on 10/09/22) and the date of download for each file is displaying as 07/04/21. Bug 1 Steps to Recreate: 1. Open the route page of any slow ways route (e.g. Lorsou One). 2. Click Download (.gpx) 3. Click Yes, Download 4. Open Downloaded Routes page Expected Result: A new row appears for the download and the Date Downloaded column shows today's date. Actual Result: A new row appears for the download and the Date Downloaded column shows 07 Apr 2021. Bug 2 Description: The page only displays the routes I downloaded from the individual route page. I also downloaded routes from the Waylists page but those didn't seem to register. Bug 2 Steps to Recreate: 1. Create a waylist and add one or more routes to it (or use a pre-existing waylist) 2. Open the Waylists page 3. Click the download button on one of the routes 4. Open the Downloaded Routes page Expected Result: A new row appears, reflecting the download. Actual Result: No row appears for the download. Reported 10 Sep 2022
• Coarsening/crudening (is that a word!?) of routes when added to waylist. I made this waylist - https://beta.slowways.org/user/waylist/londonfeb/9135. When viewing it, I can see that the routes do not match the routes shown on the individual pages of each of the 3 slow ways. Something has made them coarser and run off course. This also means that the nodes don't match and therefore a contiguous gpx cannot be produced. Reported 24 Feb 2023
• A weird one. I just saved CRIRIP 2 (Crich-Ripley) to a waylist because I want to walk it, and another stub route ASCWRA 0 was added automatically at the same time. I deleted the one I didn't one from the waylist, but that deleted both. It appears that both have been assigned route number 9262, which can't be right, Reported 12 Oct 2022
