Existing problems reported with 751
- 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
