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.

26 Apr 2021There are a number of issues with this route and probably not entered by someone who has walked it.
1. High Barn Street is a busy road, a better route would be along Radcliffe Street to the east end and then the public footpath alongside the golf course that links in to the bend at the peak of High Barn Street.
2. After crossing the golf course (public footpath, uneven, steep section at east end) you arrive at Cocker Mill Lane, however there's no access to Crocus Drive here as shown on the route. Instead you can go north on the abattoir road (concrete) that leads through to Cowlishaw (narrow length between two fences), or go south at Cocker Mill Lane and cross Shaw Road (pedestrian crossing). Note the abattoir site has planning permission for development so not sure on temporary diversion of public footpath later in 2021/22.
3. Depending on option in 2 above, either proceed along Scowcroft, Moor Street, King's Road, The Avenue, Farrow Street, Farrow Street East (all quieter roads), or roughly follow the route shown past Swinford Grove (route shown is grassy and can be boggy), up past St Joseph's School, across Oldham Road etc.
4. The Birshaw Farm route is particularly out of the way for a Royton-Shaw to walk, going past it to come back on yourself, the route is boggy, so not 'accessible', no signage at Birshaw Farm itself and spoil tipped on the walking routes, despite it being part of the "Crompton Circuit". Last time we walked that way there were two large dogs came running out of a house as we tried to find the way through. Looks like it's a route the local residents don't want you to take!.
