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 Rackwick’s Slow Ways.

From the ferry station to the starting point of the Old Man of Hoy trail (Rackwick). Slightly hilly but mostly flat in the mid-section. Windy due to lack of trees but an enjoyable walk....

Easy, sociable hill walk from the boat at Moaness to the beautiful Rackwick bay. Play spot the eagle as you go, and possibly even bivvy in the bothy at the bay. Simple to follow, could be a little damp, but wonderful....
