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.

  1. Complete the survey training.

I attempted to walk this from Colsterworth to Melton, but decided I couldn't approve the supposed permissive path out of Woolsthorpe, which is not marked on the ground at the Woolsthorpe end and is not a right of way, so may not be legal. The photo shows the Woolsthorpe end of the supposed path - the other end looks more like a path but is also a farm track and is also unsignposted. I also changed the route west of Freeby because the path was blocked by an electric fence, and since I was already planning to submit a new route, I straightened the street walk into Melton. I will write a more detailed review with pictures on MelCol three.
