Terms of use

By using trxo.co.uk you agree to these terms. They exist mainly to make one thing clear: the hills are your responsibility, not ours.

Routes are a guide, not a guarantee

Our route descriptions, maps, GPS tracks, distances, times, grades and condition reports are prepared with care from mapping data, our own knowledge and reports from other walkers, but they can be wrong, out of date, or unsuitable for the conditions on the day. Paths move, bridges wash away, stalking and lambing close land, and weather changes everything. You must check the forecast, carry a map and compass and know how to use them, judge the conditions for yourself, and turn back when you should. See our safety page.

To the fullest extent the law allows, TRXO is not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of the site or from relying on anything on it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Access and the countryside

A route on TRXO doesn't mean you have a right to walk it. In Scotland, follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code; in England and Wales keep to rights of way and open access land; in Northern Ireland most land is private and access depends on the goodwill of landowners. Respect closures, keep dogs under control around livestock and ground-nesting birds, and leave no trace.

AI features

The route builder and the walk finder use an AI model to interpret what you ask for. Their suggestions are generated automatically, are not checked by a person, and may be wrong. Treat an AI-built route as a first draft to check against a map, never as a plan to follow blind.

Your account and what you post

You must be 13 or over to create an account, and you are responsible for what happens under it. Anything you post (reviews, condition reports, photos, forum posts) must be your own, honest, lawful and civil. Don't post other people's personal details, advertising, or anything abusive or discriminatory. We may edit or remove posts and suspend accounts that break these rules.

You keep the copyright in what you post. You give TRXO a free, worldwide licence to show it on the site, in the app and in our newsletters and social media, with credit where it's practical. Condition reports and reviews may stay on the site after an account is closed, without your name.

Our content

Our route descriptions and original text are ours. You may print or save them for your own walking. You may not copy them into another publication or site, or scrape the site, without asking. Map data is from OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database Licence; photographs are credited to their authors and licensed as shown on each one.

Sponsors and listings

Some businesses pay to be listed or to sponsor a section of the site. We mark them as such. A listing is not a recommendation, and any booking or purchase is between you and the business.

Availability and changes

TRXO is free and provided as it is. We may change or withdraw any part of it at any time, and we may change these terms; the date at the top tells you when. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept it.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland, and the Scottish courts have jurisdiction over any dispute, without affecting your rights as a consumer where you live.
