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.

05 May 2024I walked this on a sunny morning, from Swanscombe to Northfleet.
After looking for the reviews of SwaNor 1, (and also as part of reviewing SwaHar3), I decided to make this alternative route. From Swanscombe, there is a zebra crossing just north of the station, to follow the road on the west side, until coming to another zebra slightly further south to cross back to the east side. This means there is always a safe crossing, and a pavement (photo #1).
The route then goes over a cycle/footpath along a nature bit (photo #2), which you can't really see.
After crossing over the railway, I (at first) crossed under the railway immediately to check out SwaNor1, and found that the business park was indeed unsafe (photo #3).
So, I walked back, and followed the cycle path on the south side of the railway (part of SwaHar3). There I ended up at the roundabout, which you can cross in two steps, before heading north to pick up the original SwaNor1 at the next roundabout (photo #4).
This IMO bumps the starts from 3 to 4, and is safer.
