I'm here to talk you through the 7 principles of 'leave no trace', a set of ethics and guidelines to encourage people hiking, paddle boarding, backpacking, camping, and doing other generally outdoorsy things, to look after the nature they love to explore.

    Wouldn't use Alltrails. Too much random user trails that are dangerous. I'd use HiiKER. All verified routes and actual maps.

      I never have any issues with it but I always read the reviews + check the recent photos etc! Definitely wouldn’t take a route without checking them first

      @fareweld yeah that's good advice for AT. Still, the lack of good mapping is a deal breaker. OS maps are key for UK hiking.

    As someone who just got into hiking the beginning of this year (living in Québec), I'm trying to get used to AllTrails before moving to something else. I heavily rely on most recent reviews and pictures. I still find it difficult to know what my level is, which sometimes gets me frustrated 😅

    • @fareweld
      @fareweld 9 днів тому

      It definitely takes some getting used to, but the reviews/photos are so useful! Honestly I take each trail as it comes difficulty wise, as long as it’s not super technical they can usually be made easier with lots of breaks! Hope you find some good trails 🤞

      I agree! Based on the amount of litter I see when hiking it's unfortunately not common sense to everyone (or they just choose to ignore it), so hopefully raising awareness will have a good impact. 'Be nice, say hi' is a great motto 😊

    So this is a huge pivot for my channel. After getting burnt out with content creation I decided to stop posting to social media and do some soul searching. Two and a half years later, I realised I need to make stuff that I actually feel passionate about, and for me, that's getting outside into nature and encouraging others to do the same! Hiking, paddle boarding, exploring and just being outside in general has had a huge effect on my life, and I'm super excited to start sharing it with you! 💚
