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.

Report

This route needs to be replotted and carefully revised. The worst part is crossing the A413 south of Old Amersham. The indicated route has us flying over the main road, but there is no footbridge there and the banks are too steep to climb down and back up. After that, heading towards Wycombe, the route becomes obscure, showing paths which do not exist on the ground. In the end, we had to make a detour to Tower Road to get back on the route.

After that the route is mostly good, following the Chiltern Way for part of the way.

Coffee in Amersham at various locations, and from the Village Shop by Tylers Green pond.

Pubs at Coleshill, Winchmore Hill and Tylers Green.
