  • Just spotted a minor inconsistency - the LEDNEW 2 route from Ledbury to Newent is snailed and appears to have been for a couple of weeks, but is still not showing as a verified route on the JourneyPlanner page. Reported 05 Sep 2023
  • 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
  • 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
  • I walked BRIHAM two (a snailed route) yesterday but now I can't get into its route page to review it, move it to my walked routes waylists or even to report this problem. I tried on the Android phone using the Samsung browser numerous times yesterday evening and on the laptop (Firefox) today but after a long wait I only get this 503 error page: "Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Apache/2.4.57 (Debian) Server at beta.slowways.org Port 80" Other routes are still loading fine, so I am not sure how widespread the problem is. Reported 17 Aug 2023
  • Ps my pledge list is also odd, reviewed routes show both with and without the little figure. As do non-reviewed routes. Multiple examples. Leaves me unsure of the little fella's purpose. Is he like a tick for a pledge I have completed. Or is he a prompt to walk, like a pedestrian crossing green light? NB my waylist "My Pledges" does show an accurate record of my reviews. Reported 17 Jul 2023
  • 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
  • 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
  • Very minor, but annoying. When searching for affiliations in the user profile, the focus is lost from the input box after each letter and the user has to click in again. Reported 13 Jul 2023
  • There are 3 routes for Llanfairfechan— Penmaenmawr, but only 2 names. Two of three are named Llapen Two. Reported 30 Jun 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
  • Recipe for a very very minor bug: Make a waylist with a forward slash symbol in the name. Put a few routes in it. Click the dustbin symbol to delete one of them. Confirm by clicking purple Remove button. Page flickers then settles on an error message. Refresh, nothing changes. Press back button a few times to My Waylists page and go in again. Route has gone. Try to delete another route, same. Try copying waylist's url before the remove, then pasting back in after error. This works but is awful fiddly. Remove forward slash from waylist's name. Test it again. Hey, it's all fine! Someone who knows more about html would probably avoid the slash automatically. But I didn't. And using abbreviations like 1/2, 5/6, and/or, n/a, +/-, etc isn't that unlikely in a waylist name. Might prevent some future time wasting, for users and tech support both. Reported 28 Jun 2023
  • GreWoo 3 is verified, but doesn't shows on Slow Ways maps, except it's own page. GreWoo 2 was very similar, but not verified. It was fatally flawed and has been removed and replaced by GreWoo 3. It's gone from lists but still shows on SW maps. Because they're so similar it appears as if GreWoo 3 is unverified until you look very closely, assuming you already know what the difference is. (Westfield Rd on ver 2 is blocked so replaced by Bowater Rd on 3 - near Thames Barrier. I've seen similar bugs on the progress map, many more recently added routes are invisible. But never before on the main site. Is it a known thing? Reported 27 Jun 2023
  • Like someone above I had an Error 500 message this weekend, for me when trying to pledge HarGra 1. It's now on my pledge list but the other I tested, HooHar, isn't there. The pledge notification email was odd because it says I'll be the 2nd person to walk it, but no-one has yet. Someone has walked HarGra *2* though. But it was me, so I could never be the 2nd reviewer. Reported 16 Jul 2023
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • I’m trying to pledge to do some Uttoxeter walks but every time I hit the pledge button it takes me to error 500. I would like to walk and review them! Thanks Rona Reported 13 Jul 2023
  • Hi - I like the maps emailed as part of the Great Waycheck. I looked at routes in my area (Oxford), and it shows a route Staoxf three (Standlake to Oxford). however, when I click on that link, it takes me to a route on the Isle of Wight (https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Staoxf/8873). So some kind of data error - there are only two Standlake to Oxford routes. Reported 19 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
  • Links to rest of site from Stories pages are broken. The hamburger link does nothing. The top left logo link to home is ok. Hamburger is fine from other pages. Might discourage new visitors from looking further which would be a shame. Reported 11 Jun 2023
  • The walk I've done using the app is not showing up in my account on the website when I'm logged in. Can we also report app bugs here too? 1. On the walk today the app crashed, when I reopened it, it allowed me to carry on from where I was (which was a relief). but it just marked my progress with a dotted purple line, and didn't update the distance correctly. 2. When I got to the destination, I didn't know how to tell the app I'd made it, and paused it, then ended it, and I think it didn't record the whole distance! 3. I want to submit a review in the app. When I'd typed it in I noticed that the Submit button was greyed out. I can't work out how to make it active. Thanks! Reported 26 Jun 2023
  • PS. Download, and subsequent upload to my GPS app was fine Reported 24 Jun 2023
  • The Terms include "natural person". What does "natural" mean here? There is no contact email for general enquiries. Reported 15 Jun 2023
  • 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
  • A slightly weird low priority one - the settlement page for Uig is not working - the links e.g. from Dunvegan and Portree lead to the lost page. Reported 09 Jun 2023
  • There is a duplicate route for Abetro, both showing as the same line on the map. Reported 06 Jun 2023
  • Ink Atlas printing isn't working today. Click through from a route page to the IA site and the large map area is all white, the background map, normal pop-up message, scale bar and action buttons are all missing. The Ink Atlas site seems ok otherwise. From home page I can upload (a freshly downloaded) GPX file from same route and print a map. Tried other routes and had same problem. Reported 06 May 2023
  • 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
  • When I search for the Slow Ways place 'Lane End' in Buckinghamshire, it doesn't show up in the list of results. Reported 30 Apr 2023
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • This is just a test of the 'bugs' page on the web site. No need to respond! Reported 14 Apr 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • The reset e-mail for a forgotten password is not arriving 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

  • 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
  • I tried to add photographs to a review but when submitting I receive an Nginx error saying Error: 413 “Request Entity Too Large”. I initially tried with 15 photos and then 7 and got the error both times. Reported 17 May 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
  • Getting Error 500 whenever click Route link from a Place page. Can't progress to looking at route info. Reported 07 Jun 2021
  • 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 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
  • 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
  • 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

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • When looking at reviews for CUCHAY 1. They are always presented with today's date as the review date. Rather than the date the review was submitted. Reported 14 May 2021

  • Cannot delete waylists, after clicking delete waylist the OK button is unavailable to be clicked on, seems to be embedded behind the main website Reported 24 Jan 2022
  • Hi Cristie, your new route isn't showing on the progress map! https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Bascan/10316. With so much overlap I tried clicking through all of the settlement text popups instead. Clicked Canvey, could see Canvey Island settlement, BasCan 1 route and CanLei 1-4 but no BasCan 2. Same at Basildon. Reported 05 Mar 2023
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Odd, low priority URL bug. https://beta.slowways.org/Slowway/chiswa gets a "Sorry we couldn't find that" message. But put the capital W in SlowWay and it's all fine. Checked on Chrome, Edge and Chrome for Android. Reported 09 Mar 2023

  • I can't seem to access the route page for Ratedi two (the route doesn't show up on the Ratedi Slow Way page and when I click on Ratedi two to get the route page, it's just a blank white screen). Reported 21 Aug 2022
  • I have just loaded a survey for HORCRA, and when you look at the route page it now says it has been surveyed twice. Both times by me. I really have only surveyed it once. This seems to happen each time I submit a survey. Reported 28 May 2021
