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.

October 2024. Direction: Pontypridd to Beddau.

This is a good rural Slow Way, the only thing letting it down is navigation in a couple of areas.
At Forest Uchaf Farm, the path is through the yard, although not signposted. There is also a right of way shown on the OS map from the corner of the lane just a few yards further on after the farm buildings, but it`s completely overgrown. The second point was at the turn off from Maindy Road. The route follows the track leading to The Barn, but crossing over a style into a field just before the private property - it looks like it was signposted from the road in the past, but not much remains of it. The path leading from Black Road is a little overgrown in places, but passable and reasonably good overall. although there are a few paths in these woods and care needs to be taken to select the right path.

It was a dry day after a few days of light rain, so it was a bit boggy in a few places, especially in the field after crossing the stream at Fforest Uchaf Farm, but OK in walking boots.
