1,300 walks and counting: what's new on TRXO this autumn

Where the site has got to, what we've been building, and what's coming next.

By the TRXO team · · 2 min read

When we started TRXO the aim was simple and slightly mad: a mapped route for every hill worth climbing in Britain, and the best walks everywhere else, with the weather, the access rules and the practical stuff on the same page. This is where we've got to.

Every Munro, Corbett, Graham, Donald, Wainwright and Hewitt

The site now has over 1,300 walks, and every hill on the big lists has at least one route to its summit: all 282 Munros, the Corbetts, Grahams and Donalds, the 214 Wainwrights and the Hewitts of England and Wales. Each route is drawn along mapped paths with real terrain heights, checked on a map by a person, and comes with a GPX file, an elevation profile and a forecast for the top.

You can tick hills off as you climb them and the site keeps your round for each list. Searching for a hill shows every route up it, so you can pick the short one or the long one.

Walks, not just hills

The last few months have been about the rest of the country: city walks and town walks, waterfalls, beaches, castles, nature reserves and canals, from Cornwall to Caithness. Explore now splits into walks and bagging routes so you can find a family afternoon without wading through Munros, and every region of the UK has a page with its walks, its hills and its sights.

Fourteen long-distance trails are mapped stage by stage, from the West Highland Way to the South Downs Way, each stage with its own GPX.

The route builder

Describe a route in words, with the hills you want and where you're starting, and the route builder draws it along real paths with the distance, ascent and a profile. It's the first of the tools that will live under TRXO+, and it's open to try now.

Trail Notes

This page is part of the newest thing: a section of guides, articles and news written by us rather than generated from a filter. The first guides pick the best walks in the Lake District for a first visit, easy Munros, dog-friendly walks in the Peak District, the waterfalls of Wales, and walks from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester by train and bus. More every week.

What's next

Accounts that sync across your devices, so your saved walks and your ticks are everywhere. Reviews, condition reports and photos from you, on every walk. More guides. And then the app, with offline maps and navigation, once the website is as good as we can make it.

If you spot a route that's wrong, a path that's closed or a walk we've missed, tell us. That's how this gets better.
