- I was unable to drag and drop photo's for my review. All pics were under 10 MB. Reported 24 Mar 2024
- To reproduce: I went to submit a review on a review page, similar to https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Stoshe/7765/Review#reviews I dragged and dropped 10 photos, all under 1MB each. Observed behaviour: I received an error message, "The photos failed to upload". I reduced the number of photos (even possibly to just 2) and retried but still received the error. Expected behaviour: Photos should upload. If this is not possible with multiple photos, there should be an instruction to upload individually and a suitably informative error if someone doesn't see that. Workaround: I uploaded the photos individually and it worked. Latest firefox, Windows 10. Reported 10 Jan 2024
- CORRECTION NEEDED TO THE ROUTE GPX: I have noticed that the GPX uploaded on route creation is incorrect. It carries straight on at approx. 10.2k to join the A339 instead of taking a right turn to follow the footpath. As per the route description, the second half of this route should be as Newbkin one. I do not recommend joining the A339 at this point and wouldn't have rated 3* if I had spotted earlier. At the moment, I think the only way I can correct this is to create a Newbkin three with the correct GPX but with the temporary path closure potentially in place until July next year it doesn't seem to make sense to have three routes all with the same path closure.

- 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
- This is a follow-up to your previous request #1100 "Problem with a Review: 7474" Hi Christie Thank you for your reply and apologies for my slow response. In deciding if my 'variation' warrants being listed as a new route I find several things in the 10 point methodology you listed are in conflict! I see the variation as being safer (point 1) as there is less walking along main roads. However it is less accessible for those with buggies or wheelchairs (point 3) as it goes along tracks in the green areas rather than paved paths. The variation is also in agreement with points 5 and 9 i.e. being more 'off-road' and 'be enjoyable and beautiful' as it goes through more green areas. The route variation follows the start of the Itchen Way, an established route, (point 10) which I'll add to my description. How do you balance out these conflicting points? I shall most probably leave my review as a review of the existing route rather than add it as a new route unless you advise otherwise. Many thanks David Reported 05 Dec 2022
- I reported this via Twitter last week but I think this is the better place for it. I would like to understand what happened to the four photo-only surveys that I submitted about two weeks ago (WESCOT 1, WESCOT 3, COTMEL 1 and BOTLON 2) before I submit any more. I got to the end of the process and completed the survey questions without seeing any errors, but none of these photo surveys are visible on the site. Using Firefox on an Acer laptop running Windows 10, the photos were all taken on a Samsung Android phone. The COTMEL 1 one in particular had a lot of photos and took over an hour to submit, so I am very reluctant to start it again. Reported 14 Jun 2022
- 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
- This route tries to take the water through a gated, private woodland across the lane after Frith Wood. (One of the photos shows this and it's noted in the reviews.) The route needs updating to show the detour (on road and then footpath) required as a result of this. Ledmal 2 uses the correct, accessible and legal route at this point. Reported 07 Feb 2023
- Dear Slowways This slowway begins after crossing the railway bridge and advises walkers to follow North Hill. This access is on a private estate and has been securely gated. There is an easy alternative that follows Trevarthisn Road and Menecuddle Road. I have added a map to my review to clarify this. I have no idea if the closure is legal or not but a local resident was most vociferous, also the alternative is reasonable and sees a lot of established foot and cycle traffic. I viewed this on a busy Saturday morning. I hope this helps. Julia Reported 09 Jul 2022
- 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
- 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
- I walked part of the Wooler to Alnwick route today from Wooler to Eglingham and will complete the route soon and post a review (the part walked today was a fantastic). However there is a problem with the route from Berwick Folly (Way Point 269, map ref 067227) to where the route joins with a bridleway at WayPoint 300, map ref 079221. The route between these points is drawn as a straight line, but it does not follow any footpath or other right of way and it is not over access land for most of the way. I had noted that this part of the route was odd when I reviewed it on an OS map before setting off but assumed that Berwick Folly was an unoccupied derelict property and the route followed an ancient unused byway. However Berwick Folly is a farmhouse with outbuildings converted into very expensive/exclusive looking cottages. The route shown starts by crossing a large very neatly tended private lawn and then into an arable field. We spoke to a charming and helpful resident who told us there had never been any sort of pathway on the SlowWays route and the farmer did not like walkers on even legitimate rights of way over his land! We did find a route sticking to public rights of way until we were into the Access Land and then cutting across to rejoin the SlowWays route which added minimal distance to the walk. I can send you the details of the route I took by email attachment if this would be helpful. Rick Sweeney Reported 15 Jun 2021
- From Wotton to Dursley, the suggested segment of the B4058 heading north from Coombe Road is very fast (60mph) and busy with no pavements. I would never recommend walking that way. A diversion via Coombe is far more quiet and appropriate for all users Reported 27 Jan 2022
- Part of this route would involve walking along the B2068 past Farthing Common Plant Centre. This is a fast road with no footpath, of which I would not recommend walking along. Reported 28 Apr 2021
- This route goes over MOD land which is not open to the public. Please remove. Reported 25 Oct 2021
- I submitted this route myself but having tried to walk it yesterday, it is currently impassable due to the HS2 works having blocked one of the footpaths for three years with no diversion in place. I will upload the alternative route I walked yesterday. Reported 13 Nov 2022
- This route is around Penrith in Cumbria not Brechin in Angus Reported 25 Apr 2022
- This is a follow-up to your previous request #1208 "Problem with a General: Site" Hi Cristie,I'm enjoying the sunshine in Aberfeldy and hope to walk kenabe2 tomorrow. When I zoomed into the kenmore end all the lines there were rather a mess. Would someone be able to tidy them up so they all end at a point.

- Hi Slow Ways Support, When I reviewed Wilsal One over the weekend I came across a bees' nest over a footpath. I've reported it to the council, shared on local social media and got in touch with the local Ramblers group, and for Slow Ways' purposes prefaced the review I posted with a warning detailing where it is and how and to avoid. I plan update/remove that part once its been sorted. I'm in two minds whether I should also “Report a problem” with the route however. On the one hand it might help draw attention as it remains a risk for people who might unknowingly follow it should the someone not read the review. On the other the “Report a problem” feature feels more for permanent issues with the route. What do you think? Kind regards, Charles Reported 28 Jun 2023
- 😝😤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
- I surveyed & uploaded a route (strgla one) at the weekend. It appeared this morning without the pictures. I noticed someone else has experienced this on the forum.. is there a problem? Reported 05 May 2021
- Hi. My husband and I attempted to walk this route today, and a middle section of the published route did not correlate at all with the walking routes available. At one point the route crosses a stream and there is no way of crossing it at that place. It appears that a volunteer walked this route on 7 April but their review is not shown on the website- do you have any more details, and is this type of issue commonplace? We had to deviate from the route with difficulty to complete it. Kind Regards, Karen Reported 10 May 2021
- Hi Yesterday I surveyed the route Adel to Pool in Wharfedale (Pooade). In the evening I completed a survey questionnaire and spent ages uploading 14 photos, but then at the end got an error message. When I have more time I will try again but I don't want to go to all the effort of typing all my comments and uploading the photos again, if the same thing is going to happen again. I thought it maybe would take time for my report to appear but I've checked again tonight and it isn't there. Is there a problem at the moment with surveys do you know? Thanks Lynne Strutt Sent from Samsung tablet. Reported 13 May 2021
