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.

03 Apr 2023 (edited 28 Feb 2023)The route is good to walk or run. There is a small part of the walk where the path goes through Worsley woods and is mainly earth/mud, so bear in mind what time of year it is. There are a few sets of steep steps on the route but once through the woods you get on to the loop line which takes you through Roe Green and then on to Walkden the loop line is a well formed path. The walk ends at Walkden train station
This route is not suited for a wheel chair due to the steps which get you on to the loop line. The route seems reasonably safe and there are numerous people on the loop line walking. The route is accurate.

03 Apr 2023 (edited 21 Feb 2023)Overall I think it’s a good place for people who enjoy walking and jogging. It’s busy and everyone friendly that passes by and it feels a safe place you can also walk down past the motorway and can listen to the cars. The walk leads you to the train station which you then can get a train it’s a great location.
