Staines to Chertsey via the River Thames footpath.
Based on Staiche One, with an improved quieter routing between Chertsey Bridge and the meeting point at Chertsey Station. Uses low traffic and green space routes, rather than the overloaded B375 Bridge Road

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.

12 Nov 2022Walked Staines to Chertsey.
Most of the walk, between Staines and Chertsey bridge, is alongside the river Thames on the Thames footpath. The path is straightforward to follow, with benches for rest, but could be wet in places if flooding.
At Chertsey bridge there is a very good pub. Then the route crosses the river and heads for Chertsey station; it would be possible at this point to jump to another Slow Way (Addash) and head straight for Addlestone through Chertsey meadows, if the intention is to continue on to Addlestone after Chertsey.
Chertsey bridge is a lovely old river crossing, but it is very trafficy, and I recommend whichever direction you are walking from that you cross facing the traffic, then on the far side of the bridge cross the road using the footpath which passes underneath. It is possible to do this in either direction.
From Chertsey bridge the route turns off the main road and uses quiet residential streets and parks to Chertsey town centre, and then to the railway station. This is imo a big improvement on Staiche One, which sticks with the busy Bridge Road.
Its a pleasant walk with good transport links at both ends.
