Help connect Wollaston
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 Wollaston’s Slow Ways.

It is nice and clear until you reach the forest near wymington which is overgrown and blocked by a fallen down tree. After this you follow a few more fields then the roads to hall park and into rushden (I cant upload pictures right now due to a bug/glitch and will fix this asap)...

This did not detract from the walk, but if you are wanting a quiet walk I suggest you do not do this at the weekends when Santa Pod is on....

Penny Short added Norwol two, a new walk from Northampton to Wollaston
Walk this routeI think there is a problem with this route around OS Grid Ref SP 85972 81826 where the route leaves Station Road and heads through the quarry (Hanson Aggregates). The quarry appears to be private and gated and unsafe to attempt to pass through. I have attached a screenshot centred on the Slow Way, a screenshot of the associated OS Map and a photo of the access road....
Penny Short
The final mile into Wollaston is not so good and i would advise on a different route if possible - the road has no footpath and sharp bends and is also the main road into Santa Pod...
