Description
This is a replotted version of BASLEI one that fixes a couple of issues. The most serious problem is that the route into Vange from the north as shown in BASLEI one does not work on the ground - this version clarifies that! Secondly there is a good surfaced track through the country park from Benfleet Downs to Hadleigh Castle, and staying on that is a lot easier than the bridleway in wet and muddy conditions. The route still has wet and muddy sections and a few steps, but these are unavoidable

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.
