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.

02 Apr 2024Mostly road route, but with a nice section through the public golf course in Lostock.

02 Mar 2024Approximately 50% of this route follows busy roads, whilst the eastern half is predominantly off-road and on well surfaced paths. It is also entirely accessible to wheels of all varieties, and overall a pleasant route.

29 Aug 2021The most direct way to walk from Horwich to Lostock but unfortunately a good half is on roads. Still gives a good chance to stretch your legs and the last section is quite rural and crosses a pleasant golf course.
