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.

28 Mar 2024This is a long but mostly very nice route. Fields and woods, vineyards, minor stretches on roads and through farms.
Two things let it down:
1) Having to cross the Steyning bypass, which is very very busy and fast. Had to wait a long time then run like crazy to pass through a gap in traffic. Dangerous.
2) One stretch just to the West of the Horsham Rd B2135 at 50°54'46.0"N 0°19'45.6"W Wappingthorn Wood isn't just wet but entirely inundated - essentially a small pond. I had to wade through it up to above my knees to reach the road, and there didn't seem to be any way around, with a barbed wire fence to one side. There's a sign showing it as a public bridleway so it's not a mapping error as such.Perhaps at some times of year it might dry up a bit, but it doesn't look like a sensible route at all as it stands.
The stretch immediately afterwards requires some uncomfortable walking along a fast road for 500m or so.
Maybe there's a way of rerouting the final link into Steyning to avoid both of these issues.Worth doing to save an otherwise very nice route.
(Nevertheless I've rated in 4* as it could be so good!).

30 Mar 2024Kings Barn Lane would be a possible route as it has a bridge across the A283 and is part of cycle network 223. I can't see an easy way round the woods except via Spithandle Lane.

30 Mar 2024The other obvious route is to go via Storrington!
