Sheen there, walked that!

After a slightly delayed start while the team assembled, Rochelle led the way with Jenni and Sarah Jane following Rochelle's excellent directions.

We were surveying the slow ways route RicPut2 https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Ricput/8928

We started off well, with good paths, no steep curbs and the map seemed to follow the route well! There was a huge tree which caused the pavement to narrow, but thankfully there wasnt much of an issue getting around.

We met Rosie and started our off-road section, through the woodland by Sheen Common, which we all agreed was fine in the dry weather, but would be more tricky when it got muddy! Sarah was also able to give us some additional feedback from a wheelchair user's perspective, which made us all start to look at things from a non-walker's view too.

The rest of the route was fairly good, with the odd restricted width section and bumpy alley ways, and we all saw different parts of town we'd never visited before! The section through Highcliffe neighborhood posed some navigation challenges and a few hills that Sarah said would be difficult to ascend in a wheelchair.

The last stretch took us through the residential streets of Putney, before we saw our end point - Putney train station, where we found a nearby coffee shop to get a reward for our efforts after a chilly 8km walk!
