Slow Ways linking Nairn and Cawdor, Forres, Grantown-on-Spey, Inverness

Nairn’s four Slow Ways are 44% checked
Help connect Nairn
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.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Nairn’s Slow Ways.

The problem - It looks from checking google maps that, at Dalvey Smithy cottages, access to fields leading to the west bank of the river Findhorn has been blocked recently: where there used to be clear passage there are now two gates, one with barbed wire along the top, and the track is now part of someone's garden....
