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.

Hiking Historian
22 Oct 2023Like Dave says, it's a decent route, but it fails at the exit to the bridge on Bromford Road, where the map shows it's on the opposite side to where it actually is!
Apart from that, straightforward canal route.
David Sanderson
08 Feb 2022Failed at SO 9561 9246, 0.03km into the route. The route is marked clearly. Cross the road via the bridge and access the towpath on the opposite bank. There is no ramp or stairs from that end of the bridge. A walkable version will be added as Tipold two.
