Description
A tweaked version of Barroy Two which corrects the two problems I considered warranted correction: tighten up the route line at Smithies Lane to make it clear, when walking towards Barnsley, not to go down the steps to the lane, but stay up on the footpath, which will shortly make a left turn just out of sight; and reroute between the A61 and Richard Road along Ravenfield Drive - this takes out the slippery, potentially dangerous steep footpath by the side of the barracks building, and also gives a safe crossing point for the A61.
Otherwise as Barroy Two - a mix of residential, landscaped recreational space, and some arable fields at Royston. Very direct. The fields warrant good footwear, and paths may be muddy after rain. Several flights of steps

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.
