Click the red Google icon to view or follow the walk using the My Maps Website. Your location shows as a small blue blob. The walk track is the blue line. The 2024 walks are available. Previous years will be added in due course. This is a free service.
Click the red triangle to view or follow the walk using the OS smartphone App.
Many walks in our history have GPX and KML files.
The GPX files can be imported into many walk sharing apps. For example the OS App, Outdoor Active and BikeGPX.
These apps allow you to follow a route on your smartphone.
If you have a handheld GPS device, many will accept GPX files and you can navigate without needing a mobile phone signal.
The KML files are useful for viewing walks using Google Earth. There is even a mobile app for Google Earth - well worth a try.
Several prospective walk leaders have said that having an experienced walk leader accompany them when they carry out their first recce would be helpful. If you are thinking about becoming a walk leader and would like a 'walk buddy' to help plan your first walk, please phone one of the existing walk leaders to arrange a date - their numbers are on the programme. You could accompany them on a recce of a walk they are planning, or they accompany you on one you have in mind. You could also ask for assistance using our FaceBook page.
But please do consider volunteering to lead a walk. Our existing walk leaders are willing to help new leaders, and online training is available. Please click for more safety details.
Follow any GPX recording on your smartphone. This is simple enough for cyclists so any walker should find it easy too. And it's free.
Get the app from Google Play or the App Store.
