Description
I hope this new route will stir some interest in this Slow Way. Although it is only a desktop design I've used the reviews of DenMol 1 and multiple online sources including Ordnance Survey maps, Google Street View, Strava Heatmap and OpenStreetMap and hopefully it will work. My original idea was to stick as closely as possible to DenMol 1 but in practice there is little overlap. Unlike DenMol 1 the paths used have been used before (per Strava), and are Public Rights of Way or on Open Access land, per OS maps. Feel free to adapt it but if your test doesn't stick to it please submit a new route, even if you are unsuccessful, recording a GPX trace helps. Documenting the issues really does helps the next person. I don't claim it's the best route between the two towns, personally I'd be tempted to do something more remote so I could visit the Moel Arthur hill fort.
The attached route maps show where you'll find pubs, cafes and shops, some notes on DenMol 1's problems (yellow) and some reasons for other changes (pink) where it wasn't strictly needed, just seemed better. There are some local buses, e.g. to Gellifor or to Cilcain from either Denbigh, Ruthin or Mold but check as services are minimal.
DenMol 2 was uploaded in error and I've asked for it to be deleted. It was an old version which still included one path that reviewer Rowena had found was completely blocked

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.
