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.

25 Sep 2022 (edited 26 Sep 2022)I had a great day walking this route but it has a few issues as a slowway.
Exiting Lostwithiel was hilly (the whole route is) but fun via Dutchy land.
On crossing the A390 no entry was stated on the gate to Bodmin Lodge, I thought maybe this referred more to the cottage and pressed on. The route as given took me to a resolutely locked fence in a wild wood. A workaround Boconnoc House took me through a very smart private estate and deer park. A kind gentleman who filled my water bootle just outside the estate explained that locals do often pass through and as long as they simply walk or run and dont go near the house no one seems to mind. This was my experience too but I think this is technically a tresspass.
I declined the detour to EastTaphouse because I considered the B3359 too dangerous.
The footpath on the other side of the road had a broken sign and was overgrown, the path through Connon Bridge Cottage was lost to brambles but had a smart newish stile underneath them. On leaving the house I closed the gate and looked back to see many signs with discouraging messages on the pemisess and gate itself in spite of the clear public footpath waymarker opposite. It would be a committed walker to enter from that direction and challenge the signs and brambles (uphill) though it is a designated path. Shame: it is a small but important section.
Bodrawl wood was beautiful if steep.
The rest of the way was varied and enjoyable. a number of places are large farmsteads rather than villages so opportunities for rest are limited for a route of this length. I asked for water at a few houses in the absence of pubs and was kindly received.
I think with good conduct passing through the deer park the main issues are the busy road on the detour and one unhappy neighbour.
I would hope this route could be adjusted to work - it has much to reccommend it.
