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.

I walked this route from Kimberley to Eastwood, and for the most part it is a good easy route. I am not sure I agree that it is entirely wheelchair friendly - parts of the old canal cycle track are a bit rough and the corner-cutting shortcut path south of Shipley Gate goes straight across fields on an unsurfaced path (and the route the GPX uses does not follow the well-used path on the ground), but I can see how this aspiration dictated the route through Awsworth, though I don't understand going the long way round the junction where Awsworth Lane meets Main Street. These are minor quibbles, and overall I am happy to recommend this route.
