Description
I've offered an alternative route into Newcastle. It is not quite as pleasant as walking across the Town Moor and through the park, but it is easier in my opinion as the current has two locations with no crossings that involve crossing quite busy roads. I do both routes regularly and would not choose to go this way for that reason.
lobby.adults.fear there is no crossing here.
span.garage.cake there is currently no crossing here either - one is planned. It's hard to cross as it is a busy roundabout.
The route also does not cross Dukes Moor which would be tricky in a wheelchair as there is no proper path. The path across the Town Moor has gravel - the alternative is smoother

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.
