Description
This route is mostly based on WirBel one, but is a little easier because it involves less unnecessary ascent and descent, especially at the Wirksworth end. I also chose to stay on Wyver Lane approaching Belper because it is easy, quiet and well used by local walkers. There are some wet and muddy sections, plenty of stone squeeze stiles and some fairly steep places, but the views are excellent, especially when walking west to east

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.
