Description
This route uses quiet roads and The Ridgeway, a local green raised walking/cycle route. It goes through the new developments at Woolwich so you could take a detour to look at the old Royal Arsenal Buildings, Arts Centre or have a pitstop with Antony Gormley sculptures by the riverside. It's around 40% off road and the only noisy roads are between Woolwich Town Centre and the A206 crossing.
There may be minor shortcuts you could take but this route is easy to navigate and quiet. The Plumstead interchange is a slight exception using paths beneath the flyovers and one underpass. It avoids the large road junctions, curling ramp, traffic lights, pedestrian bridges and the hot mess of signage and street furniture. It's not ideal, but it's not bad, there are pedestrian signs and it's' better than the high level alternative . The map should be useful and be easier to interpret on the ground.
There are anti-motorbike width restrictions at both entrances to The Ridgeway. But at the eastern entrance there is a ramp as well as the stairs shown in the photo

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.
