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.

12 May 2021The second section of this route along the bottom of Wasdale Screes is tortuous and involves clambering over large boulders. It's bordering on the dangerous and certainly not an appropriate walking route to approach Wasdale Head.

11 May 2021I know this route and it contains a quite dangerous section along the bottom of the scree slopes at Wastwater. Mountain rescue rescued a person with a broken leg from this section last week.
