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.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

20 Aug 2023I walked this on a warm sunny afternoon, from Netherne On-the-Hill to Banstead. It had rained a little overnight.
From Netherne the route starts along a lit path (photo #1) and then heads down to cross the railway at Hooley where there is some pavement walking along quiet residential streets (photo #2). Soon it then encounters farmland and up a hill along the side of fields (photo #4). After a nice section through woodland (photo #5), there is a little stretch along a street with no pavement. But also few cars (photo #6). Soon the route goes up again along fields, open space chalk land (photo #7, #8, #9), and down the hill to cross a level crossing. On the other side, you then walk up, in some place steeply, through "meadows" with loads of wild flowers. I took a little rest here on a bench (photo #10). After the top of the hill, the route follows the edges of fields (photo #11) to end up on Holly Lane (photo #12) which leads into Banstead's village.

05 Sep 2022Good route connecting Banstead to Netherne.
This routes corrects the problems with Bannet one, and provides safe passage across the A23 at Hooley and up the hill to Netherne (last two photos).
Most of the walk is through lovely North Downs chalk farmland and woods, some ups and downs of course!
Good paths and easy to follow. There’s a railway crossing (photo) and few short stretches along lanes with no pavement (photo), but nothing dangerous.
There aren’t any intermediate refreshments, so take something along for a traditional fieldside picnic.

04 Aug 2022Good countryside walk. Some steep sections and vegetation. Only suitable for walkers. Shops at Banstead, at Hooley (BP garage at A23 traffic lights, Star Lane) and convenience store in Netherne. Cross A23 at traffic lights. Footpath up the hill to Netherne.
