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.

31 May 2024This is an excellent route largely following the Pennine Bridleways. I walked it as part of a longer trip between Burnley and Hebden Bridge.
Minor issue with the routing across Black Moor. The footpath here is not at all clear on the ground. The permissive path which leads directly down to the Gorple Upper Reservoir dam is much clearer.

11 Mar 2023I walked from the Pack Horse Inn to Worsthorne
This was a wonderful walk. It was occasionally tricky to navigate on the top but nothing that stopped it being a really enjoyable hike.
The Pack Horse Inn was open and serving food so that is great if you are using it as a midpoint in your walk if you are combining it with another Slow Way as I did.
The view are incredible and the ground was pretty solid underfoot despite being February.
I did a couple of detours to look at some of the rock formations and the stone circles, which added to the walk.

15 Dec 2021A fine route over the Pennine watershed, which mostly follows surfaced tracks and the Pennine Bridleway (PBW).
There are some very boggy bits across Black Moor, north of the Gorple Upper Reservoir, that could be avoided by continuing on the PBW below the Gorple Stones for a further c.0.5km, and then taking the permissive path south that leads down to the dam past the rocky outcrops (great views!) on Shuttleworth Moor.
The main problem with this route however (and hence only 3, not 4 stars) is that the Packhorse Inn is now closed so does not offer a proper Slow Ways destination/network node as such, so an alternative route and destination is suggested to Blackshaw Head (see photos 5 to 9 below). It's only really worth continuing to the Packhorse Inn (seen in photo 4 below, taken from Gorple Lower Reservoir dam) if you intend to continue on from there towards Haworth or Hardcastle Crags.
