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.

24 Apr 2022A lovely coastal path for most of the way and much less strenuous walking than following the coastline in the opposite direction from St Ives. After an initial climb up from Porthminster Beach on tarmac paths, you are rewarded with some excellent views over Carbis Bay and beyond. Dropping down steeply int Carbis Bay, you walk through the interesting complex that housed the 2021 G7 Summit, before the steepest climb of the section over towards Porth Kidney Sands. The path meanders through the dunes, before turning through West Cornwall Golf Club and up to St Uny's Church in Lelant, where it is worth pausing to read some of the noticeboard about St Michael's Way and the pilgrimages. From then on, it's straightforward walking, following good paths and roads around the estuary and into Hayle.
