Included with every Big Trail Adventure
Every trip we plan comes with its own Trail Companion: the day-by-day route written out properly, GPX files for your watch, live navigation with time estimates you can trust, and a share link so the people at home can follow you along the coast.
What it does
Written for the day you're walking
Not a bare list of distances. Each day is written by someone who has walked the route — where the path leaves the harbour, which turn people miss, where the tide matters, what's worth stopping for. It's the guidebook page for exactly the day you're on, and nothing else.
Navigate with it, or with your watch
Follow the day in the Companion itself — the line on the map, the distance still to go and the climbing still to come. Or send the GPX to Garmin, Coros, Suunto, Apple Watch, Komoot or OS Maps before you set off. Download the maps once and it keeps working with no signal.
Packing, checklists and safety
A packing list written for your trail and your season, a pre-departure checklist, and the safety notes that matter on this route — emergency numbers, bail-out points, what to do if the weather turns. All in the same place as the route.
Share your walk
Send a private link to whoever you like. They see your position on the map and the time of your last update — no app to install, no account to make. Grandparents can follow along; a partner at home can see you've reached the inn.
Walking alone?
Sharing your position from the Trail Companion needs a phone signal — and on the best trails there often isn't one. So for solo walkers we lend a pure GPS tracker that works off satellites instead. It sits in the top of your pack and posts your position automatically, whether or not your phone has a bar.
There's no extra charge and nothing to set up. When your itinerary is confirmed, your Trail Companion is built for your dates, your pace and your stays.
