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.

I started walking the route at Ottershaw and the first 1 km next to playing fields has a pavement next to them. The pavement ends with the playgrounds and I had to walk the next 3 km along a road with no pavement and often not too wide an edge. That was not particularly enjoyable.

On the other hand, the rest of the route led through quiet woods, fields and meadows and I'd praise is highly if it was not for one spot where the route seems to go through an inaccessible section. It is some 200m off Ford Road where it approaches Broadoak Farm. As you can see on the attached photo, the public can't go through the gate. I took a big detour to reach Halebourne Lane and continue my journey.

The rest of the route is easy to follow. Only at the Gordon Boys Roundabout, walkers need to take the somewhat hidden footpath and not the bridle path. The remaining path through a forest emerges at Guildford Road on the edge of Lightwater right next to a bus stop.
