Description
Pathar 1 is a really good route from Harrogate to Pateley Bridge. This suggested alternative only makes 2 small changes to Pathar1. The major one is an alternative to the original walk from Spence Damn to Summerbridge, which involves walking just over 1km along the B6165, which is a busy narrow road and has no pavement or, for a large proportion, no grass verge or other refuge from the traffic. This suggested alternative for this section is hardly any longer than the original but does involve more uphill walking but is rewarded by lovely paths, fabulous views over Nidderdale and avoiding walking along a road that is very dangerous for pedestrians.
The second minor change is to avoid the riverside footpath approaching Glasshouses, which is closed for repair of damage from flooding until mid-August 21. Once the path is re-opened the original route is probably a better option for this section

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.
