Description
This version of Colross is passable throughout; Nic Howes enjoyed walking it southwards on 17.10.2022.
As first plotted in April 2021, Colros is impassable on two short sections, one just north of Kerne Bridge and the other on the steep south face of Coppett Hill. I have accordingly plotted the route with two short deviations to make it passable, exported the gpx track and it appears here as Colros two, with a lengthy Review and photos.
My Review for Colros one is brief, and refers walkers to this route, Colros two.
Colros is a long, challenging Slow Way; 13 miles measured horizontally and with at least 2000 feet of climbing, whichever way it is walked. The route crosses the wonderful landscapes created by deep incisions into the Forest of Dean plateau; it includes two crossings of the famous Wye gorge, a photograph of which appears (quite rightly) to be compulsory for all collections showing "Beautiful Britain"

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.
