Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Also the eastern section which follows Langley Road was much busier than I expected for a minor road - lots of local traffic (I think there was an obstruction on the main road, so locals who knew the route were taking the diversion, so this problem might not be repeated)....

Beside Cheltenham Race Course the route is off road, then passes round the edge of an area which is used as a car park during races, and passing the race course railway station. I walked from Bishops Cleeve to Cheltenham and missed the route twice, the first time I missed an almost hidden path sign when crossing Southam Lane....

This is an outline review of the first part of the route (about 4km from Bishops Cleeve to Gotherington). There is a small but significant error in the mapping shown on Slow Ways in the early part of this route: the map appears to show a right turn from Sandown Road into Nottingham Road and then a right turn to a path across to Sunrise Avenue. Nottingham Road is a dead end and there is no route out to Sunrise Avenue. The correct route is an earlier right turn from Sandown Road into Berwick Road and there is then a footpath through to Sunrise Road....
