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.

24 Jun 2022I walked from Jarrow to Wallsend. This was a not unpleasant walk - with a couple of pleasing views in amongst the industrial and post industrial landscape.
I walked down the (non working) escalator down to be avoided for those with vertigo. The walk through the tunnel felt shorter than I was expecting. At the other end the lift was efficient and clean.
The rest of the route was on pavements alongside roads, then along a section of cycleway.
I would say this route seems accesible.

29 May 2022A good urban route, and accessible to all.
Starting and ending at locations with good transport links and nearby shops, the route uses pavements and the foot/cyclepath of Hadrian's Way, on the old waggonway. Ramps at all road crossings, and, at the Jarrow tunnel, a lift (the escalators are out of order both ends).
A couple of shops and a garage along the way if you need refreshments. Otherwise it's a shortish crossriver walk through urban and industrial areas.
