Description
I tried creating a good alternative to PenLaz One. This one is 11.5 miles but it uses the lovely Eden riverside path and only quiet roads (except a short section just southwest of Langwathby). Langwathby, with a station and a pub with food and accommodation and good opening hours, is half way along it. Unfortunately, when I walked it, I discovered that the lovely Eden riverside path has been officially closed (I think since January 2023). I spoke to a farmer (not the landowner) at the start of this section who said that people still use it sometimes. I had walked it several years ago and it was gorgeous, so I ploughed on, but I know I will have to fail it.
I have uploaded it anyway, in case anyone else tries this route. Also, if the route is officially reopened at some future date, please comment on my review, and I will know that I can revisit it, and verify it.
I am planning to do another alternative route soon

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.
