Description
This alternative route is a result of a Slow Ways blog which asked if the 50 least direct routes might attract more users if they could be made shorter.
https://beta.slowways.org/Stories/Page/michael-tormey-how-direct-are-the-slow-ways-routes-really
This route is a lot more urban than Salgat One but it does manage to take in a green footpath along the Baguely Brook and Wythenshaw Park.
Eating / Shops:
Short row incl convenience store and chippy on junction with Norris Rd about 1.5 km
Cafe in Wythenshawe Park near the middle of the route.
Supermarket at 6km
Over night stays:
None directly on the route but Google shows several within 15 minutes or so, some under £50.
Salgat One is particularly long because it diverts from the urban areas to follow what looks like a really pleasant route along the winding banks of the River Mersey. It is possible to adapt that route and find something shorter. In that case there are several shops and eating places around the Knebworthy Lane / Palatine Road juncton

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.
