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.

19 Feb 2023A short walk with roadside pavements at both ends and a brief countryside forray in the middle, here our path crosses a valley and water course so it could be muddy. No services but at 3 miles that should not be an issue. Cropped fields and a motor bike scramble circuit, noisy but no incursion.
This starts along a road, a pavement either side, parked cars on the left and a grass strip on the right both offer a buffer from the traffic. Note, the pavement on the right has a short very narrow section. The various developments to the west of the road have failed to offer a quieter escape into the countryside, or at least I couldn't find a route through.
The path after Blackberry Lane is well walked and as the picture shows it should be apparent, unless you are the first visitor after cultivation. The naming of the track suggests public use but it's not all recorded. After the stream crossing our path is well defined by the landowner and a permissive track, not our route, has reopened, so the sign says.
Taking a right then left at Donington le Heath, we miss the old Manor House museum but this way offers an excellent surfaced path avoiding the narrow lane which has no pavement. It also misses the Co-op store which is left along the road after the children's play area.
From here it's pavement walking along fairly quiet roads. As suggested in the review of Ibscoa this Slow Way now avoids the back alleys approaching Coalville, it passes a few shops and other services before arriving at the town square with the tall clock tower and buses.
