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.

30 Mar 2023Somewhat of a challenging Slow Way in the wet weather as you walk through the fields, but it's a nice starting point to walk in conjunction with other routes towards Milton Keynes.
More details to follow.

30 Mar 2023Just finished this. This is an OK Slow Way, no doubt better in the summer.
Longer review to follow.

16 Jun 2022I started this route from Yardley Gobion. The walk along the lane is pleasant and there are islands to use to cross the A508. At this point I thought the route was a goner. A large sign proclaims that the path through Old Wharf Farm is not a right of way. The map doesn't say it is, but a visit to https://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/councilservices/northamptonshire-highways/rights-of-way/Pages/register-of-definitive-map-modification-order-applications.aspx reveals that it has been approved. I proceeded along the path without challenge and met up with the Milton Keynes Boundary Walk, which the route follows for most of the way. The way is well marked and the paths well tended. The section as you cross the River Tove involves steps up to the various bridges and stiles make the route less accessible too. The last section into Hartwell follows a cycleway rather than the footpath. Judging by how overgrown the footpath was (when reviewing Yarhar 1) the locals clearly use the cycleway too. This takes a much more direct and easier route to the meeting point outside the church in Hartwell. I'd certainly describe this route as safe, direct, off road and easy to navigate. There are virtually no links to transport or stopping places but a 7km route between two such rural places, I wouldn't expect to find many. The bus stop I passed in Hartwell served a route to Wolverton. The route was certainly enjoyable and was an easy walk, although doesn't appear accessible for wheelers. I'd like for the right of way to be watertight to make that short section less of a worry, but overall I'd certainly recommend this Slow Way.
