Description
This route is very similar to GodBli 1, but the ending near Blindley Heath is different. Hopefully this will keep the "95% great" and get rid of the "5% dreadful" found by Porcovolente in their review of GodBli 1. As a bonus it's around 500m shorter too.
The only new part uses a section of RedBli 1 instead from where the two routes cross, at TQ 3459 4564 about a mile east of the Blindley Heath end point. Happily where it comes into Blindley Heath near the the church there is a traffic island, helps with crossing the A22. I'd prefer to test a new route before uploading it, but the majority of this route has had such a positive review already that I'm posting it anyway. My plan to do it myself has been scuppered.
There is an hourly bus from Caterham train station which also goes past Upper Warlingham (inside TfL zone), or Godstone and East Grinstead stations which could join to other Slow Way places like Tonbridge, Uckfield or Redhill.
This route doesn't have any mid route stopping places. Near the route don't try the Jolly Farmer on Whitewood Lane as it's closed down. There is a pub on the edge of Outwood, follow RedBli 1 about a mile further east. In Blindley Heath there is a second walkable pub down Ray Lane if the western-themed one near the petrol station isn't for you

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.
