Walk Reports - The Basics

With few exceptions each walk report contains a narrative; the narrative is not a route description, but rather my personnal reflections of the walk, together with a route map and downloadable gpx file, a profile of the route and data statistics taken from my tracking device.

Route Map & GPX Track

Click on the mini map on the report to activate a scaleable Ordnance Survey map overlayed with the gpx tracking for the route. The gpx track can be downloaded for your personal use if required, however, you must understand that I can accept no responsibility or liability as to the accuracy of the details contained in the downloaded file.

Profile

The Profile is simply an aid in understanding the gradient over distance for the walk

Tracking Data

The tracking data is that which my tracking device, and there have been a few over the years, so these may be different on earlier walks, currently I am using Locus Maps tracking app, and provides data such as time, distance, ascent etc.
