Description
I recommend Mitnew two over Mitnew one because it takes in the wonderful viewpoint of May Hill, it has less road walking and it takes in a pub (The Farmers Boy) that is still open (Glasshouse is temporarily closed at the time of writing).
Mitnew one and Mitnew two follow the same delightful route between Newent and Glasshouse.
During an onsite trial I also found that the SW end of Mitnew one - Longhope to Mitcheldean - has many problems of walker-unfriendly land management that reach a crescendo with obliterated PROWs south of the eastern corner of the Business Village. This web link indicates that others encountered these problems as far back as 2015: http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/mountaindetails.php?qu=S&rf=17100&st=cld

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.
