How it works
01
An email or a form. No callback wheel, no sales call.
02
Your pace, your daily distances, rest days where you want them, accommodation we know by name.
03
Luggage moved, beds booked, your Trail Book day by day in your pocket — offline.
The pace you'd keep on your own, with the arrangements taken care of.
Longer stages, fewer nights, an itinerary stretched to what you can really cover.
Multi-day routes built to a runner's pace — and beds that open at 8pm.
Go it alone
Independent, not unsupported.
Your location is shared automatically as you walk, so we know where you are and the people at home can watch the dot. We know your itinerary, the accommodation is expecting you, and if you need us there's a real person at the end of the phone.
Explore solo adventures →Bring your people
Plan the adventure. Don't chase the money.
Create the trip, invite your group, and everyone pays their own way. Each walker puts down their own deposit by card and fills in their own details. No bank transfers to collect, no spreadsheet of who's paid.

We collect the stories walkers bring back — the wet days, the village pubs, the moment the cloud lifts — and publish them in the journal. The podcast is coming.
We asked our Facebook community of West Highland Way finishers one question: what single piece of advice would you give somebody setting off tomorrow?
Nobody to consult with in tricky moments, nobody to blame when you get lost, nobody else's snacks to share. Elise Downing — who ran 5,000 miles around the coast of Britain, mostly alone — on how to stay safe and get the most out of going it alone.
Elise Downing ran the Ridgeway in three days. Two friends tried to walk the same distances. It went about as well as last time.
