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.

Report

Although most of this route is fine, the footpath route just outside Pencoed is no longer in use, plus it involves a very hazardous crossing of the A473. It also includes a non-existent route between Thomastown and Tonyrefail. See Penton2.
