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.

14 Oct 2022A quirky, well drawn, and easy to follow route which connects the watery area of Wraysbury with the almost-Heathrow of Stanwell Moor. The route crosses the M25, a railway line, and has to contend with reservoirs in the rest of the space; given these constraints its really very good indeed!!
Some stiles and awkward gates; mixed path surfaces from pavement to soft meadow; livestock encounters (cattle, horses, sheep) possible; STINGING NETTLES very likely, advise long trousers.
Walked Stanwell Moor to Wraysbury.
The highlight is Staines Moor - a large open expanse of grazing meadow with the River Colne meandering through.
The moor is grazed by cattle - they were over the other side today, I imagine they are well used to people passing through.
The M25 is crossed by a small road passing underneath - this section is bendy and I needed to ensure drivers saw me in good time as they came round the bends. There is some pavement, but a feature throughout this area is that car drivers park right up on the pavement, completely blocking it.
Immediately after was an awkward metal stile into a small field that clearly was used by horses - luckily they were not at home today! The next field was a long grassy sward alongside a reservoir, and here were sheep grazing.
There is a longish section alongside the railway as far as Wraysbury station - this is a narrow path and in places there was a lot of stinging nettle, which was unavoidable, ouch!
There’s a short stretch of B road at Wraysbury station, then the route takes a good footpath alternative alongside a lake to reach Wraysbury village. There are a few shops, a cricket ground, and a very good pub at the end point of the route. As noted already, car drivers may park right up on the pavement in this part of the world.
I think this route is as good as can be, and highly recommend it.
