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.

18 Feb 2024This route takes the direct path onto the Trans Pennine Trail so stock up because there is nothing along the way. It’s an easy walk along the trail for a good two miles passing the site of the engine turntable early on and later the crossing keepers house at Blackmoor Crossing. The route was busy with walkers, most had a dog, child or both but not a single bike to be seen.
Approaching our leaving point we cross a tall viaduct where there is no vertical link to the footpath that passes underneath. While researching the viaduct name I discovered Barnsley Council sign-boards call this Romticle Viaduct, local newspapers call it Rumtickle Viaduct and the LNER plans from the 1940s call it Romptickle Viaduct, old OS maps show Rumtickle. Approaching the tunnel we leave the trail and cross Old Mill Lane on a well used footpath that climbs.
Near Huthwaite Hall we turn to head north. The path continues to climb away from the hall alongside a stone wall then a track across cropped fields to arrive alongside the school. Crossing the main road we enter a park with a bonded surface path which quickly takes us to the meeting place at the Horse and Jockey opposite the village hall.
The paths are well used and signed so easy to follow no cattle seen and no paths ploughed across cropped fields. A most enjoyable country walk.
