Description

This route is broadly based on RetGai one. It is more accurately plotted throughout. The significant changes are (i) to use Top Pasture Lane east of North Wheatley rather than the field path which the first reviewer of RetGai one found impenetrable, (ii) to use the road to get to Bole, because I found the shortcut path blocked by brambles and (iii) to use the footpath around Bole Ings to join the Trent flood bank rather than the field path. This makes it a little longer but I had no problems with any of the paths when I test walked it

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.
