Description
A few modifications to the current DRONCHE route.
Main mod is to bypass the fenced off areas in Birchall Woods along the Unstone/Dronfield bypass.
Also, a re-plotting of the path across open fields just after Old Whittington.
I wonder whether it may also be easier to follow the Unstone/Dronfield walking route, but it will probably add 45 mins onto the journey time.
My main sticking point for this route overall is the section between leaving the Chesterfield canal towpath and joining the nicely-laid-out PEAK trail at Birchall Woods (https://www.peakliaison.co.uk/communitymatters/)

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.
