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.

Strider
31 May 2024Essentially a good walk, but, generally plotted slightly inaccurate, and importantly very inaccurate in some crucial places. The OS map does not reflect the paths on the ground.
For example. The gap in a hedge Il Chimico mentions is on the OS map, but is no longer a path, Luthit Two avoids it by 30m and enters/exits the field via a wide path and avoids walking in a narrow verge-less road.
I've uploaded Luthit Two which will not get you combobulated.

03 May 2021I walked the route from Hitchin to Luton. The route is gently uphill to Offley mainly on a farm track which is deeply rutted in places. The signage through Offley could be better. At one point the footpath from Offley to Lilley Bottom passes through a very narrow gap in hedge field boundary. Easy walking route - no stiles, the gates aren't very wide.
