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.

02 Jul 2023 (edited 03 Jul 2023)Overall a good route connecting Sheffield and Dronfield. Follows well established paths that take in a variety of city walking, countryside and parks. Avoids the dangerous road crossings encountered in the other DroShe routes. Some segments have steps, but alternatives exist and are marked by signposts, I will detail further on.
Notes:
1. At the Prospect Rd/Gleadless Rd junction (///degree.angle.thin), rather than going down Gleadless Rd to London Rd cut through the park to Well Rd (///cheese.milky.names) and then head down to London Rd. Turn left on London Rd and cross at the crossing near ///frames.pushy.will follow Saxon Rd and then turn left on to the path at ///fats.clots.lived at the end of this path you will rejoin the original route at ///jams.jokes.skill. This is more direct and pleasant than the original route and is equally accessible.
2. There are steps coming onto Archer Rd at ///drama.friend.older. These can be avoided by detouring onto Abbeydale Rd at Woodseats Rd. (///class.ahead.cloud -> ///winks.erase.flying -> ///ages.hype.bottom).
3. There is no path along the right bank of the Sheaf between ///wants.pounds.drama and ///water.drum.valid. Rather than turning down Troutbeck Rd at ///chairs.third.fried, continue along Abbeydale Rd to ///tags.change.bared and then turn left down to the Tesco car park, where you will meet the original route.
4. There are steps going into Millhouses park at ///myself.best.income. These can be circumnavigated by following the signposted alternative route.
5. There is a narrowish stile on Beauchief Dr (Approx: ///advice.shave.dust). It might be possible to open the adjoining gate.
6. There does not appear to be a path on the eastern side of the A61. In my opinion it is better to follow the path on the western side and cross at ///help.exam.begun, there is an island crossing here and the traffic is slow due to the adjacent roundabout, the crossing felt very safe.
