Description
The primary reason for creating this route was to highlight the only safe place to cross the A1 west of Elkesley. I also took the opportunity to change the route out of Ollerton, which now includes Boughton Brake, to show the easiest avoiding paths for a small part of the Robin Hood Way which seems to be permanently flooded and to change the route into Retford to simplify the golf course crossing and use a greener route from there into the centre of the town

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.
