Description
The original Bishop Sutton to Farmborough route is a fantastic walk, with the exception of the part just outside Farmborough itself which uses some rarely used paths which can be difficult to access and navigate. However, there is a great alternative just slightly further north along the well used Bridleway. This is much easier to use and hardly adds any distance to the overall route. I thought it was worth adding as an alternative that I think better meets the Slow Ways requirements. The views are better too.
I've left the rest of the route exactly the same (just added a bit more accuracy to the route file)
Enjoy!

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.
