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.

The makings of a good route, but there are a couple of errors at the Skelmersdale end. First, the route from Eskdale over the roundabout to Tanhouse Road isn't quite as straightforward as the route suggests. Lastly, there is no pavement or safe way of crossing the main road to get to the route uphill.

I've updated it slightly for SkeOrr Two for a safer and more accurate route.
