12 Nov 2022Good route, footpaths and some urban pavements mostly, small amount on country roads without pavement, bit not too much. Some lovely views around Weston in particular. I followed the route in November on sunny day after quite a lot of rain, and surprisingly it wasn't too muddy. Some steps onto bridges over roads at Stevenage end, some with ramps though, and otherwise fairly flat.

08 Oct 2022A pleasant enough walk, particularly once you leave the concrete of Stevenage and rapidly find yourself crossing rolling fields. There's a mixture of walking along pavements, country roads, and muddy paths with some beautiful views.

06 Jun 2022This was an easy to follow, very pleasant walk. A direct route out of Stevenage and through lovely, gently rolling countryside to Weston and then to Baldock. Most of it very rural, on footpaths and bridleways, some on country lanes with no pavement.
