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.

15 Jul 2021 (edited 10 Jan 2024)This route is excessively meandering. Probably designed for a mid-route pub and Post Office in Satley, both now permanently closed.
Save roughly 10km by using WolCon 2 or 3 or by joining WolTow 1 and TowCon 1. Tow Law has several buses and eating/shopping options.
Review is flagged for access, as that's the closest available option. This is a desktop/virtual review from when the SlowWays team suggested to looking again at the most indirect routes for possible shorter alternatives.
