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.

Walked at the beginning of May after a very wet winter which continued through April. This is a lovely walk through the High Weald following sections of both the Weald Way and the Vanguard Way. It follows field and woodland paths and some quiet lanes with very little traffic. The paths have the potential to be soggy and muddy but I found them starting to dry up. There are lots of stiles, kissing gates, flights of steps and footbridges. The latter usually have barriers at knee height to prevent livestock crossing.

There is one change to the plotted route, an official path diversion, as one of the crossings over the railway line by Hempstead Farm is now permanently closed. The diversion takes you to the next crossing which has been recently repaired. It involves steps down into a cutting and then back out again. The diversion is well-signed and I have posted a picture of the map on one of the signs. This diversion probably requires an UCKHEA2, but no other changes are required.

The route passes two good country pubs; the Blackboys Inn at Blackboys and the Star Inn at Waldron, other than that I didn't see any other facilities. The path also passes Tickerage Mill at Blackboys which was the last home of Vivien Leigh in the 1960s.

The walk took me about five hours with stops for lunch, refreshments and a couple of sight-seeing diversions.
