Description
Having investigated Aswir 1 and walked Ashwir 2 and failed both routes I offer Aswir 3 which passes to the east of Carsington avoiding the nasty road east of Hopton. Kirk Ireton offers the delighful Barley Mow Inn and it's community shop. The route is shared with Ashbel between Ashbourne and Biggin where it could set off north but OS shows the path obstructed by farm buildings so head a little further east. There is confusion although no obstruction if the plot is followed at Moorside Spring Farm north of Kirk Ireton. The path shown on OS is disputed and obstructed

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
