Yateley to Sandhurst 1 (Yatsan 1) review.

A short Slow Way that does a reasonable job of connecting Yateley and Sandhurst.

The route is mainly a pavement walk beside busy roads.

There is a respite in a central stretch of footpath between flooded gravel pits, now fishing lakes.

Report

This is probably the shortest route between Yateley and Sandhurst but 90% of it is alongside roads, some busy; with only one short section of footpath which runs between the fishing lakes in the river Blackwater valley near Bracknell Forest. There is no pavement on the road immediately at the Yateley end of the footpath, but there's relatively little traffic here. The road at the Sandhurst end of the footpath has a pavement, but it can be busy and noisy. Overall an easy, level route if you're prepared to put up with some road traffic along the way.

Report

This is a safe route, but not a particularly pleasant walk. The first part is along a very busy road, on a pavement. It then turns onto a pleasant road, but with no pavement; although not busy it is not very wide. The footpath between the fishing lakes is OK, but gets very muddy in wet weather, and is currently (June 21) very overgrown. The route is then along two busy roads to Sandhurst.

Report

A short route along pavements, some of which are narrow due to vegetation and a short stretch along quiet roads with a footpath between fenced fishing lakes where the vegetation has encroached upon the path in places. Walking alongside the Yately road was not pleasant and the fencing on each side of the footpath detracted from the walk.
