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.

01 Oct 2022 (edited 04 Oct 2022)Three quarters of a good, decent walk, but that quarter does spoil it!
It starts so well: a shopping centre with good bus links; well-paved roads with ramped crossings; good tarmacced footpaths, including on the old railway.
But then it goes downhill. The footpath around the solar and sewage farms are overgrown and impassable (although there are alternative routes); the footpath from the sewage farm to a quiet unpaved farm road has been closed and barricaded with a series of fences, with no notices or diversions in place; and to get to the next footpath, you have to navigate an unpaved access road around an estate.
After this, however, it's a nice walk: a long greentrack followed by a farm track to Ditton, then a road and footpath wander into Widnes.
The rural sections determine this as foot-only, but I don't recommend this route in its current incarnation; I'll submit and test a less problematic middle section.
