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.

Report

I really wanted this to work at the start. I was reminded at the weekend about the need to include interesting places on a Slow Way of you can, so sending it past St Bartholemew's Church and through the churchyard was a mark of genius. Except the churchyard is fully enclosed (a bricked-in gateway would testify that it hasn't always been) and the volunteer could have seen this with a simple check of Street View. The lurch from genius to madness is swift as a frankly baffling dog leg leads via a footpath through to a section on the main Darlaston Road and then back (to go to the Darlaston Chippy?). As it is, the footpath back is fenced off: A double bust! I shall submit a walkable version of this Slow Way shortly!.
