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.

The route heads out of Ascot along racecourse stands and via a large roundabout after which it turns into a quiet neighborhood. You might be forgiven for missing a narrow footpath off Kennel Avenue but it is just a shortcut. It then follows next to a church and a primary school on the left.
Walking towards Winkfield Row is on a pavement which ends when you turn to Braziers Lane. There is often no edge to step aside to but on the other hand, the traffic is not too heavy, visibility good and cars are not driving too fast. Reflective clothing would be helpful in the dark.
At Winkfield, you need to take a turning via a churchyard.
The next stretch of the route leads via quiet narrow roads and lanes until it emerges at a busy Drift Road. When it reaches the Mount Skippets Farm, the route is blocked on the left hand side towards the farm but there is a way round the farm if you turn right.
When you cross Forest Green, an entry through a hedge is concealed and easy to overlook. After some 150m walking along a hedge, you need to turn right but there seemed to be no path visible on the ground. I was walking across a freshly mowed meadow. The last stretch before Bray Wick was fairly pleasant. The path leads through a high grass and it would soak shoes quickly if dew or raindrops were still on it. Walking through Bray Wick is on pavements and easy to follow.
The last enjoyable part of the route is through Braywick Park in Maidenhead and it continues along a canal to the town center.
Most of the route is under a cooling canopy of trees.
