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.

05 Dec 2021 (edited 18 Sep 2022)Majority of route on public highway. Route runs along side A6071 for 1.5 miles on footpath from Longtown. Path at times less than 70cm wide from kirbside, photo 1. Almost 1 mile on road section with soft, narrow verge. Route subject to highspeed vehicles and HGV's. Section on Springfield road has no footpath. Traffic also includes HGV at speed. Verge soft and narrow, has trees and bushes obstructions.
Steep steps on public footpath at Guards Mill, no footpath from path and over M6 and B7076 until hotel at Sark bridge.
