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.

04 Jun 2023A reasonable route that does keep you away from the busiest roads.
A bit too much walking alongside the train track which isn't that pleasant - I'd prefer to walk on the Bolingbroke Grove side of Wandsworth Common than next to the train track.
Battersea Rise is really difficult to cross as it's such a busy road.
One suggestion - if you are walking down Magdalen Road - it is a very long fairly standard residential road, if Wandsworth Cemetery is open you can pop into there and walk parallel to the road for a stretch which is a little more pleasant.
Pavements were easy to navigate for all and no really serious hills to cope with.

02 Sep 2022I have not done this as a whole route but in two sections. The CLA half follows the same route as the one to BAL into the lovely Wandsworth Common. After turning off the common you walk through some very nice streets before a long gradual hill which is pleasant to walk along.

04 Aug 2022Partly follows the Capital Ring, best mostly off-road route.

22 Nov 2021A less direct but quieter and greener alternative to Earcla One, makes more of a pleasant walk if you are not in a hurry to get there.
I walked from Earlsfield to Clapham Junction. Earlsfield was having a nice Saturday brunch-time buzz; it's a little lower on the 'trendy' radar than its neighbours Wandsworth/ Putney/ Wimbledon/ Clapham, worth checking out.
The route follows the Capital Ring up Magdalen Road, and past Wandsworth Prison to Wandsworth Common. Then follows the railway to Clapham Junction.
Magdalen Road has a large cemetery which can be walked through as an alternative option, so I did that (first photo).
This is an interesting and green urban walk, but a little indirect, so 4 stars.
