About TRXO
Our mission at TRXO
What we stand for
-
Free to explore
Every route guide, summit forecast and hill list on TRXO is free, and will stay free. A good day on the hill should not depend on a subscription.
-
Honest about what we know
We say where every route comes from and whether anyone has checked it on the ground. If we haven't walked it, the page tells you.
-
Home safe
Each walk shows the weather on the summit, whether you will be down before dark, what to carry, and what to do if the day goes wrong.
-
Hills for everyone
City strolls and Munros sit side by side, with the routes you can reach by train or bus marked, so the hills are not only for people with a car and years of experience.
Follow TRXO
New routes, conditions from the hills and the odd good view, wherever you already spend your time.
What we've built so far
1,381 mapped routes (919 in Scotland, 314 in England, 107 in Wales and 41 in Northern Ireland) across 50 regions, each with a route line, distance, ascent, time, start point, parking, a free GPX download and a summit forecast. There are 13 long-distance trails broken into stages.
All 1,247 hills on the Munro, Corbett, Graham, Donald, Wainwright, Hewitt and Welsh 3000 lists have their own page, and every one of them has at least one mapped route to the top. You can tick hills off as you climb them and track your progress on each list.
How routes are made
Hill data comes from the Database of British and Irish Hills. Route lines follow OpenStreetMap paths, with heights from EU-DEM terrain data, and summit forecasts come from the Met Office. Routes are mapped and written from these sources; they are not yet walked and checked on the ground by TRXO, and each walk page says so. Treat every route as a plan, and navigate with a map and compass on the hill. How we make our routes has the full detail.
Tell us when we're wrong
If a route is wrong, a path has changed or a car park has closed, email hello@trxo.co.uk or use the contact page. A person reads every message, and corrections go on the route page.
