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.

Truffle
18 Feb 2024This is a slightly different route compared with Yoxbur Two - with a bit of variation in Burton itself. Please see the description and reviews for that route too as there is little additional to add. The Burton end variant gave us no issues and not a lot of traffic but this was late Saturday afternoon in Feb and a rainy day. Overall it's a really nice walk and takes in some rolling beautiful countryside. There are pubs enroute but we didn't use any so can't comment on that angle. Public transport was easy. There aren't many other facilities on the way but it's not a long route. We noted that there are a lot of stiles, kissing gates and some combos throwing both in together. Walking in Feb it was a bit overgrown and I think I got caught on brambles and thorns on nearly every stile but I think that was more wearing a scarf and woolly jumper! It has been raining a lot but would add the common issue of livestock in a field but single point of entry meant some lovely quagmires to wade through. Waterproof shoes only work when the mud doesn't go up and over and in. We also found it a little difficult to navigate in places where arable fields had been ploughed and resowed as the cross field footpaths had disappeared. It was possible to stick to the hedge though and walk round given field edges were broad enough. It was a pleasant walk with snowdrops, deer, wading birds and buzzards on the trees. At the approach towards the reservoirs there were a couple of places where maintenance would be useful. Chicken wire and rotten planks on bridge crossings and some planks meant to cross some muddy patches that were submersing. Two nice long stretches of dry path - through Dunstall and along the canal which looks to have been recently resurfaced (compacted sandy/gravel fading to tarmac in/near Burton). The road stretch towards Yoxall was a bit busy but the road is wide enough and there are decent verges to walk on most of it.
