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.

10 Jul 2021Three issues with this Slow Way (as someone who walked parts of it recently but didn't set out to actually walk the route as plotted):
- I don't believe there is a path along the rail line near Swanage, though I could be wrong about this
- Between Kimmeridge and Lulworth Cove the Slow Way route goes through MOD land that is CLOSED most weeks, Monday through Friday, for active firing. There are very few good diversions available.
- Overall, the route is just a bit sloppily plotted.
