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.

16 Jun 2024Woking to Ottershaw
A very enjoyable route that is not too long either. There are mighty trees along the way so walkers are mostly shielded from the sun.
It is easy to follow but I noticed one inaccuracy. When the route crosses the Basingstoke Canal towpath, the little bridge is some 40m further on.
When it then reaches Woodham Lane at the Victoria pub (see the first photo), it continues along a footpath on the other side of the road, not a paved street with a "private access" sign.
I also made a mistake further on when the route turns off Row Town road at the Cricketers pub. There is a crossroads with three possible roads ahead. The right one is in the middle where you can see a red litterbin. See the last photo.
Even though the towpath and the first 7km from Woking would be perfectly good for wheelers, the last footpath through a forest before Ottershaw has a relatively steep incline.

15 Jun 2023This was a lovely walk that I enjoyed a lot. It's very calm and mostly in nature apart from the beginning and end. Can be completed by any age and doesn't take too long either.

07 May 2023A pretty unchallenging walk during the enjoyable Basingstoke Canal towpath part - well-surfaced and pretty wide, plenty to see. Passing the A245 requires either a nimble cross of the road (no pedestrian crossing) or going under the road in a fairly low and narrow passageway.
Thereafter a short amble to Woodham Lane, and then a somewhat more narrow country path walk until you hit Woodham Park Rd.
Easy walk up the road into Row Town, then a left through a more restricted country footpath, with a narrow muddier part and an obstacle or two for, wheelchair users or even the less confident walker. Footpath ends at Ottershaw Junior school - then very plain sailing on pavements into Ottershaw itself.
