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.

  1. Complete the survey training.

I agree with the other two reviewers that this route is too busy to walk on. The Carse lanes route described by one reviewer is along very quiet country lanes, is a good cycling route and is less than 1km further. But it is all on roads (no pavements) and walkers might find it a bit tedious.

Going via Dunblane is only 2km further (via the Darn Road, 3km if via Glen Road).

This route is high speed roads all the way.

This is not a good route. The B834 is not a walker friendly road - it is a 60mph road with no pavement and high hedges. An alternative route across the small lanes on the Carse is much better, and only requires a short stretch on the B834 - that's also the best way to cycle it. While a lot further, Bridge of Allan-Dunblane-Doune is a sensible alternative.

    NB - I should have said - I've cycled but not walked this, for obvious reasons. (I always cycle the Carse route too nowadays).
