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.

01 Apr 2024Loved this route. Walked as part of a walk from Bolton to Wigan. After I started I discovered the waymarks for the community rail trail which takes this more attractive route through the park and cemetery. Note that there is a substantial set of stairs down to the path beside the railway but looking again at the map there should be a relatively easy way to avoid these.
