Description
Lonbig-1 is an excellent route except for a short section of poor bridle path west of Sheen which is unused and soft going so I offer this route with just a minor change to avoid that problem, it uses a parallel footpath that shows good usage

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.

08 Aug 2022I walked Biggin to Longnor during a long dry spell. Cattle, stiles and hills but some good scenery. Hartington would have made a better hub lots of services there but only there. Bus service links Biggin, Hartington and Longnor plus Buxton and Ashbourne.
Highfield Lane offers a direct traffic free track to Hartington where it enters passing the Youth Hostel. Hartington has all the services you may need and others you don't need but may want. Exit Passing the old Stilton dairy site now a housing estate.
Crossing the infant River Dove by means of an insignificant bridge we enter Staffordshire and start a long climb across pasture and along a farm track to Sheen. Another Hostel here but little else. Because I follows and rejected Lonbig-1 I can't comment on the short section of footpath but when I met it from the disused bridleway there was good evidence on the ground of it being well used.
At Brund both routes meet the Manifold Trail and also on 6th August, the Dovedale Big Dipper a marathon run or walk. It was easy for to to locate the path I just headed for the stream of athletes approaching me. This was totally off road across fields along the east side of the River Manifold, with cattle and mostly Peak Park gates but some stiles.
Longnor has limited services a cafe or cafes and the three inns one was shut, another closed and the open one looked to be on its way out, I hope I'm wrong.
