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.

19 Aug 2022I really enjoyed walking this route from Steyning to Findon! It's easy to follow and the views across the South Downs are stunning.
I'd recommend popping into Dee Dee's cafe in Findon, super quirky interior and the smoothie was excellent!.

24 Mar 2022I walked from Steyning to Findon on 18/03/2022 as Leg#1 of a longer walk from Steyning to Arundel.
This is downland all the way, heading out Steyning along Newham Lane and by the white cottage (photo#1) bearing right and following the bridleway up Steyning Round Hill. This is a steady climb to the top of the hill, but the path is wide and easy to follow. At the top at the path junction by a bench turn left along the cross dyke to a meeting of five paths . Follow the signs for the Monarch's Way to the West.
From there on follow the Monarch's Way signs all the way to Nepcote Green on the edge of Findon. Then walk along Nepcote Lane into the centre of the village. By Summerfields (a new estate of houses on the right) there is a sign saying "private footpath". This short section of path avoids walking along the road, although the lane was very quiet. The footpath appears to be open for the use of the village residents, just not adopted by the council.
The paths on the downs are wide and easily followed. It is a bridleway, there is the occasional gate but no stiles. There are no refreshment opportunities along the way, but the route is only four miles long.
Owning up, I took the wrong path from a choice of two at Stump Bottom at about the halfway point so deviated from the FINSTE One route. However this FINSTE route appears to be the same distance and may be the more direct and obvious.
