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.

Kate

22 Jan 2023 Winter

I walked this route backwards - from Coupar Angus to Blairgowrie, which may be why some of it was hard to find. As it was January, much of it was frozen under foot but in the summer, some of it would be even harder as it relies on walking on the built up flood defences along the River Isla, which is likely to be overgrown. A couple of gates were impassible without going over the wiring to the side of them. The point at which I got very lost was going over an unmarked field and probably took a wrong turning and was rewarded by setting off a pigeon gun, which made me jump! There is a cycle network that is being established between Blairgowrie and Coupar Angus and this may be better to follow http://strathmorecyclenetwork.co.uk/using-the-network/ though a lot of it is on quiet side roads and on tracks. Overall, this route takes you a long way out to be able to cross the river, only to come back on yourself on the other side.

    Hi Kate, I've just added a different route between Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie. It may be an improvement on the route you walked in January last year!
