Help connect Sabden

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 Sabden’s Slow Ways.

I think this would be a lovely route in the summer – if you took the path the other side of the fence....
