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.

  1. Complete the survey training.

You cannot walk from St. Margarets's Hope to Gills Bay. It is a ferry route. Although I guess is it slow in that respect. Unless you can walk on water, it is not doable.

This route should not be verified as a walk. It is on the ferry.
